Standardized compensation helps you plan better, pay fairly and preserve cash and equity runway. That’s why we built Hiringplan.io, a free, easy-to-use headcount planning tool with built in compensation market data.









Useful addition to the suite of free tools from LTSE.
Pros:Very easy to use, market data is a super helpful sanity check. Including diversity into the tool is an interesting idea.
Cons:Limited market data at this early stage.
we're investors in LTSE
Pros:essential tool for our portfolio startups
Cons:none yet
Super simple to use and easy to navigate. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to estimate how your comp impacts burn over time, this is your tool.
Benchmarking info is extremely valuable.
Pros:- Simple to use yet robust.
- Solid salary benchmarking info. Great for calibration.
- Graphic representation of spend is very intuitive .
Cons:- Not for the advanced user. If you are an Excel power user you will find it restrictive.

I love Hiringplan!
I regularly meet companies who are too early for our compensation product, Compaas. And I send *every one of them* to Hiringplan.io.
It has a great UI, and is super-easy to figure out and get up to speed. Hiringplan.io is great help for planning your company headcount growth, and I especially love the warnings around equity overspend.
Great data from Connery makes Hiringplan even better, especially for early -stage companies. <3
Pros:Excellent data, easy interface.
Cons:Not every geo represented (but you can still get far with this!)
Esports One Fantasy
Have been using HiringPlan since it was first launched. Great team behind the product that is really focused on improving the tools that startups have available to them. If you are just getting off the ground or in the Seed/Series A stage of fund raising, I highly recommend giving HiringPlan a go. Will make a big difference as ensure you have a clear hiring plan moving forward
Pros:Really helps with the planning of startup equity and salary.
Cons:Few features lacking here and there but nothing that I'm sure isn't already being worked on
maybe the easiest way to get competitive comp information for cash and equity based on startup size/stage and locale
Pros:Super simple to use, great market data, equity calculators are a godsend
Cons:Found it tricky to use for scenario planning and tracking business at the same time, but might be my fault
I've been using hiring plan for a while now and it continues to be an invaluable resource for keeping our cap table and burn top of mind when hiring and negotiating.
Pros:incredibly easy tool for quick gut checks on hiring negotiations and headcount planning
Cons:connery doesn't cover all positions you might hope to have data on but it's a really solid start
