AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You buy this product under a contract, priced by your company size measured in full-time employees (FTE). Four brackets set your tier: fewer than 250 FTE, 250 to 500 FTE, 500 to 1,000 FTE, and more than 1,000 FTE. You pick the bracket that matches your headcount, and the price scales up as your employee count grows. The dimensions are mutually exclusive — you fall into one bracket, not several. This structure ties your cost to organization size rather than usage volume or number of user seats.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one full-time employee (FTE) for choosing my pricing bracket?
Your bracket reflects your organization's total headcount of full-time employees. You count all FTEs across your company, then pick the range that matches: under 250, 250 to 500, 500 to 1,000, or over 1,000. This is a company-wide count, not a count of software users or logins.
What happens if our headcount grows past our current FTE bracket during the contract?
Pricing brackets are mutually exclusive, so growing into a higher range means your tier changes accordingly. The FTE count determines which single bracket applies. If your headcount crosses a boundary, contact the vendor to confirm how and when the bracket change takes effect for your contract.
Does the FTE bracket price cover all CompAnalyst Max capabilities, or are features billed separately?
Your contract price is set by your FTE bracket, not by individual features. The platform includes job pricing, salary structures, reporting, market pricing with AI-guided matching, and pay equity workflows. Cost ties to company size rather than per-feature or per-seat charges.

Wide Range of Job Descriptions with Easy Customization
Reviewed on Sep 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the wide range of job descriptions and titles available throughout the site, along with the ability to customize each job.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main areas I’d like to see improved are the overall UI/UX, integrations, and the value delivered relative to the cost. Some workflows feel more complicated than they need to be, and finding important information often takes too many clicks. A more streamlined, intuitive interface—along with smoother integrations—would make day-to-day use more efficient and help the product feel more worthwhile for what it costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Salary.com helps address the challenge of finding reliable compensation data and translating it into practical salary decisions. It offers market benchmarks that make it easier to assess whether pay is competitive, and it supports more consistent compensation decisions across different roles and employees.

Comprehensive Job Database and Current Salary Data
Reviewed on Sep 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Salary.com has a comprehensive database of jobs to search, and salary data seems to be current with the market in our area. I like the ability to create hybrid jobs, since some of our positions require skills from various jobs and we like to compensate accordingly.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the beginning, the workflow for creating our jobs and linking them to market data reports was not intuitive. I had a few training sessions with my rep, took good notes, and then was able to figure out how to save and link the data to be able to come back later and run new reports on existing jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Employees will shop around for better pay, so we like to stay on top of what the market is. We want to be competitive and know what our employees are worth before they come to us and say they can get better pay elsewhere. Talent retention is important to us, so paying our employees what they are worth is key.
