Real-time pay data is changing the game
Real-time pay data is changing the game
Don't take our word for it. Listen to what our happy customers have to say about using Market Data Lite to make smarter compensation decisions with real-time data.
View data from thousands of startups like you
Today, Market Data Lite includes free compensation data sourced from peer startups with 1–200 employees. This dataset covers over 1.1 million employees across more than 8,700 companies, allowing you to benchmark base salary and new hire equity against organizations that closely match your headcount, industry, invested capital, and revenue.
Understand pay for every person in your company
As your team grows, we have you covered. Market Data Lite includes compensation benchmarks for more than 150 job families. Plus, you'll get access to data for the overall U.S. and one additional market of your choice—a U.S. metro or another country—to support your core talent hubs.
Never settle for weak equity insights again
Market Data Lite uses real-time, connected platforms to deliver stronger equity insights. Powered by predictive machine learning and direct integrations with equity management systems, Pave’s Calculate Benchmarks feature generates equity benchmarks for startups that reflect current market behavior. This approach enables startups to right-size new hire equity awards with confidence, something static surveys simply cannot match.
Say goodbye to survey submissions forever
Many startups rely on public salary sites or static compensation surveys to guide pay decisions. Public salary sites often lack context and accuracy, while surveys are costly, lag behind the market, and require manual submissions.
Make painful compensation survey submissions a distant memory. Market Data Lite uses automated and persistent connections to HRIS, ATS, and EMS platforms to collect salary and equity data in real-time. Plus, advanced AI automatically matches your people to Pave's job architecture.

Free Compensation Data FAQs
Free salary information is available through public job sites, reports, and benchmarking platforms. However, the most reliable free compensation data comes from tools that source real-time data from peer companies rather than aggregated self-reported estimates, such as Pave.
Compensation benchmark data helps startups price roles competitively, reduce pay gaps, and make informed hiring decisions. It also supports consistency and transparency as teams grow.
To use free compensation data effectively, filter benchmarks by company size, industry, and growth stage, then combine salary and equity insights to evaluate total compensation. This ensures offers are competitive while staying aligned with the budget and long-term equity strategy.
