Questions
- Does CaptivateIQ publish its pricing?
- No. Its pricing page asks for a custom quote per seat, where seats are admin users plus payees, and mentions a one-time setup fee without an amount. Commit publishes one price: £10 per user per month, no minimum, no set-up fee.
- How long does each take to get live?
- CaptivateIQ is implemented as a project with its own setup fee. Commit is set up in a sitting: connect HubSpot, build the plan, invite the team, and the first statement is there before the next pay run.
- Can we move from CaptivateIQ to Commit?
- Yes. Connect HubSpot, rebuild each plan as a target, and run one period side by side with your last CaptivateIQ statement before you switch payroll over.
