Comp4AI vs Figures
Figures is a strong platform for running whole-workforce comp: salary bands, review cycles, HRIS sync. But the moment the question moves up the org chart, panel data runs out of sample. Comp4AI benchmarks the leadership band from what listed companies are legally required to disclose, every number cited to the page it came from, across 16 jurisdictions.
A panel benchmark is what participants chose to report, weighted toward whoever subscribed. A filing is what a company attested to its regulator, under its auditors' eyes. When a comp committee, a candidate, or a client challenges your number, only one of those survives the question “says who?”, and it answers with a page number.
Comparison reflects Comp4AI's product positioning and publicly understood characteristics of Figures's offering; their capabilities and coverage evolve and may differ. Figures is a trademark of its respective owner, used here for identification only.
Why both exist
The EU Pay Transparency Directive pushes scrutiny in both directions: bands and gaps for the workforce, and harder questions upward, where pay ratios, say-on-pay votes and executive packages face the board, the press and the AGM. Figures equips HR for the first conversation. Comp4AI equips comp committees, search firms and negotiating executives for the second, with named comparables and a receipt on every number.
