- You want to be live before the next pay run, with nobody to implement it.
- Your stack is HubSpot and Xero. Both included.
- You do not have, and do not want, a compensation-operations function.

Questions
- Does Xactly Incent publish its pricing?
- No. Its product page asks you to request a quote and does not offer a trial. Commit publishes one price, £10 per user per month, and gives you 14 days free with no card.
- What does Xactly have that Commit does not?
- Scale: multi-entity governance, ASC 606, ERP connectors and a services organisation. If you need those, Xactly is the right category.
- What does Commit have that Xactly does not?
- A price on the page, a trial you can start now, monthly billing, no set-up fee and no implementation. Commit handles tiers, accelerators, splits, clawbacks, approvals and audit without a comp-ops team.
