Today we’re celebrating a small but shiny milestone: CaptivateIQ is now the #1 Sales Compensation tool on G2. While we love a good confetti moment, we didn’t want you to scroll through the full 3,935 reviews to figure out why we’ve achieved this. So we went ahead and summarized the reviews for you.

Top 5 reasons G2 reviewers love CaptivateIQ

1. A UI that doesn’t feel like a tax return: When software gets out of the way, everyone moves faster. Reviewers consistently mention that CaptivateIQ is straightforward to navigate and easy to understand, even when commission logic isn’t. As one Enterprise reviewer put it: “What I like most about CaptivateIQ is how easy it makes a traditionally messy and time-consuming process.”

2. Clarity, even when commissions are messy: If reps can see the “what” and the “why,” trust goes up and noise goes down. Reviewers consistently call out clear, line-by-line statements that make payouts obvious. Or as one customer said: “We’ve loved using the platform — it’s clean, easy to navigate, and consistently accurate.”

3. Time savings that feel like a raise: Less time explaining “how did we get this number?” means more time selling and operating. One reviewer captured it perfectly: ““What used to take a week now takes an afternoon.” 

4. Disputes without the drama:  Questions happen. What matters is how quickly they’re resolved. Reviewers like that they can open inquiries directly from the statement and move on: “I can put inquiries in right at the spot where I may have a question.” 

5. Fast, accurate, audit-friendly calculations: Good decisions start with good data. Customers point to reliable integrations that reduce manual work and error risk: “The data provided is properly implemented and pulls in information from other integrations.” 

Why this matters (and why we built it this way)

Commissions are both high‑stakes and high‑strain. Our founders, Mark and Conway lived this pain and designed CaptivateIQ to make commissions both more powerful and easier to manage. The goal is simple: more clarity, more trust, more speed, and fewer surprises at the end of the month. 

And yes, we’re proud of the badges and the reviews, but we’re even more proud of the hours our customers get back, the headaches they avoid, and the confidence they gain across Finance, Ops, and Sales. If the net result is weekends back for admins and better outcomes for sales, we’ll happily take the confetti!
