Compare/Head to head

Pave vs TeamOhana

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Pave

Free plan, paid quote Free tier

Pave is compensation intelligence with a permanent free Market Data Lite tier and quoted Market Data Pro. Lite is give-to-get: connect a supported HRIS or payroll system, then use US cash and equity benchmarks plus one extra market. This is not Pave Finance.

Where Pave fits

  • Startups and smaller teams that will connect an HRIS to unlock Lite at $0
  • Comp teams replacing annual surveys with live cash and equity benchmarks
  • US-first companies that only need one extra market on Lite
  • Growth-stage employers ready to quote Pro for global and peer-group data

TeamOhana

$15,000/year

Headcount planning and hiring-plan governance. Free is $0/year up to 150 employees, then Professional starts at $15,000/year.

Where TeamOhana fits

  • Finance and talent partners who are done reconciling headcount in spreadsheets
  • Companies with 151 to 500 employees that can live on Professional at $15,000/year
  • Teams that already run Rippling, HiBob, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever
  • Orgs that want position management or compensation planning as $3/employee/mo add-ons

Where they pull apart

Pave

Stands out: Lite is free, not a timed trial. Support copy lists 7,500-plus companies in the dataset. Pro adds 56-plus countries, advanced equity insights, and peer-group reporting under one quoted price instead of per-data-point survey fees.

Watch out: Lite needs an HRIS or payroll integration before you see data. Pro has no public dollar. Do not confuse this Pave with Pave Finance.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies that will not connect an HRIS or payroll feed
  • Finance teams looking for Pave Finance, a different product

TeamOhana

Stands out: Plans are banded by company size, not per seat. The whole finance, HR, and talent team can log in on every tier, including Free.

Watch out: Free still bills a $5,000 one-time implementation fee to connect systems. Growth jumps to $45,000/year plus $15,000 implementation and a two-year minimum.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need Orgvue-style org-design scenarios as the core product
  • Shops that cannot pay a $5,000 implementation fee even on the $0/year band

Pros and cons

Pave

  • Permanent free Market Data Lite after an HRIS connect
  • One quoted Pro price instead of per-module survey add-ons
  • Cash and equity benchmarks in the same product
  • Lite is blocked until a supported HRIS or payroll system is connected
  • Pro is quote-only with no public dollar
  • Lite coverage is US plus one market, not a global survey replacement

TeamOhana

  • Printed Free, Professional, Growth, and Enterprise bands on the vendor page
  • Unlimited users. You are not charged per seat
  • HRIS and ATS names are printed next to the plans
  • Even Free charges $5,000 to implement
  • Growth and Enterprise carry two-year minimums
  • Capterra has only two reviews, so peer ratings are thin
