Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You buy JobArchitect Max under a contract priced by your company's headcount. The four options group organizations by employee count: fewer than 250 FTE, 250 to 500 FTE, 500 to 1,000 FTE, and more than 1,000 FTE. FTE means full-time equivalent employees. You pick the single tier that matches your workforce size, so pricing scales with how many employees you have. The tiers are not add-ons and do not stack. Each covers the same job description management capabilities, with the price step reflecting your organization's size rather than differing features.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as an FTE when picking my pricing tier?
FTE means full-time equivalent employees in your organization. You count your total workforce to find which band you fall into: under 250, 250 to 500, 500 to 1,000, or over 1,000. You pick the single tier matching that headcount. The tier reflects company size, not the number of job descriptions you manage.
What happens to my price if my headcount grows past my current tier?
Pricing is set by the band your workforce falls into. If your headcount crosses into a higher band, for example moving from 250 to 500 up past 1,000, you would move to the tier that matches your new size. The bands do not stack, so you pay one tier price, not several.
Do the different tiers include different features, or only differ by price?
All four tiers include the same job description management capabilities. You get a central hub to create, edit, and manage job descriptions, customizable templates, configurable approval workflows with audit trails, a centralized dashboard, and connections to your existing HR systems. Only the price step changes based on your organization's employee count.

Intuitive Compensation Benchmarking with Stellar Support

What do you like best about the product?
I love that Salary.com is intuitive and easy to use. I also appreciate the excellent service team, which is always there to guide me when I can't find what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more load features for being able to build job architectures or get full analysis across your populations, but that only comes with the more expensive packages. I'd like to be able to load an Excel spreadsheet of all of our employees and their pay data so that salary ranges could be built and the connection automatically aligned without having to have the more expensive package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Salary.com for benchmarking compensation. It offers a vast array of positions to benchmark against, aligns job descriptions based on keywords, and is easy and intuitive to use.
