Commission software built by sales ops

Earnest was built by a sales ops operator who spent years fighting broken formulas at a tech company and wanted a platform that actually worked.

Why we started

Commission tracking shouldn't require a dedicated engineering pod. We got tired of looking for a tool that fit our scale without breaking the bank.

Complex configurations

Many enterprise commission tools require heavy configuration and weeks of setup before anyone runs a payout.

Punitive pricing models

Per-seat pricing means your costs skyrocket every time you hire a new rep or expand your enablement team.

Way over-engineered

Many platforms are built to serve Fortune 500 giants, leaving smaller teams paying a premium for complex features they will never use.

Our philosophy

After years of running commission payouts out of fragile Google Sheets at a tech company, we wanted a tool that could be configured in an afternoon and still stand up when an auditor asks how a number was produced.

Earnest is a focused commission calculator for teams that have outgrown the spreadsheet.

No sales calls required. Sign up, build your comp logic, import your deals from CSV or the API, and hit run.

Read the full philosophy — why we think comp plans should fit in a rep's head.
