Achieving Our Mission

We see a future where comp teams leverage modern technology to revolutionize the way they work and how organizations use compensation data. And we mean to make that vision a reality.
BetterComp is on a mission to enable better compensation tools, processes, and data for everyone. 
 


Listen

Comp pros know what they want to do; we listen to truly understand the needs of today's comp teams.


Advance

We take the feedback from our customers and the industry to build the solutions that comp pros want.


Innovate

We're always looking for ways to enhance our platform and move the compensation space forward.

 

When We Say Better, We Mean Better

After years of seeing advances in technology revolutionize other aspects of HR, the time has come to bring those advances to compensation. 

BetterComp was founded with a singular purpose: to finally bring compensation software into the 21st century. With more than 30 years combined experience in compensation and comp technology, our founders created a solution that actually answers comp teams’ biggest gripes.
