CloudComp
What it is
CloudComp is a Salesforce-native app for tracking and paying sales commissions. It runs as a native Salesforce package without middleware or external SaaS systems, and inherits Salesforce controls including SSO/MFA, permission sets, field-level security, and audit history. CloudComp Assistant provides real-time commission guidance, while CloudComp Statement shows live trends and period breakdowns. Plans can include multiple tiers, team quotas, year-to-date attainment, and bonuses tied to revenue, margin, quantity, or custom metrics. Payment schedules can be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom, including recoverable and non-recoverable draws. The app can post clawbacks for cancellations, de-bookings, refunds, or downgrades, with audit trails and optional approvals. It also creates configurable one-row-per-user-per-pay-period payment files for payroll or accounts payable. Pricing starts at $34 per user per month with an annual subscription and a five-user minimum; Core + Insights is $39 per user per month on the same terms. Each install includes a fully functional 30-day evaluation, with no credit card required for installation.
