Spiff — now Salesforce Incentive Compensation Management — and Knockt both get commission right, but they're built for different teams. Spiff is a deep, Salesforce-native comp engine aimed at mid-market and enterprise sales orgs; Knockt is a self-serve commission-accuracy tracker for door-to-door and field teams you're live on the same day. Here's a fair comparison to help you pick.
Spiff has a deep, mature commission engine and is highly rated for it — 4.6 out of 5 on G2 across roughly 3,060 reviews, with a 9.4 ease-of-use score. Tiered rates, accelerators, quotas, splits, clawbacks and payout caps, multi-currency, the no-code Spiff Designer plan builder, a rep-facing Commission Estimator, and audit trails are all there. If you run on Salesforce Sales Cloud with complex, multi-plan compensation across a mid-market or enterprise org, that real-time visibility and depth is its home turf. Salesforce acquired Spiff (deal completed February 1, 2024), and it now ships as a paid add-on to Sales Cloud.
Spiff is built around CRM deal and quota pipelines, and it's priced and scoped for larger orgs — its publicly listed price is $75 per user per month billed annually as an add-on, additional non-Salesforce data connectors run $250/month each (per published analyses), and reviewers repeatedly cite cost and complexity as a barrier for smaller teams. Knockt comes at the same problem from the field-sales side: tiered per-sale rates, setter/closer splits, install-triggered and multi-trigger payout, milestone bonuses, and automatic clawbacks, all on an append-only ledger a rep can dispute to the cent — with public, self-serve pricing and a setup measured in minutes, not weeks.

FAQ
Spiff (now Salesforce Incentive Compensation Management) is a deep, Salesforce-native commission engine built for mid-market and enterprise sales orgs running complex, multi-plan comp on CRM deal and quota pipelines. Knockt is a self-serve commission-accuracy tracker for door-to-door and field teams — tiered rates, setter/closer splits, install-triggered payout, and automatic clawbacks on an append-only ledger reps can dispute. They solve commission accuracy for very different kinds of team.
For field-sales teams, often yes. Spiff is publicly listed at $75 per user per month billed annually as a Salesforce add-on (per published analyses), purchased through Salesforce's sales process, and implementation typically takes weeks. Knockt is public, self-serve pricing at $40 per active rep per month with a 14-day trial and no card — and you can be live in about ten minutes. Verify any Spiff pricing against a live quote, since enterprise add-on pricing is usually negotiated.
Yes — that's the core of it. Knockt models multi-trigger payout (for example, a percentage at sale and a percentage at install), milestone bonuses, and automatic clawbacks or reversals inside a configurable window, all recorded on an append-only ledger. Spiff has a deep, mature commission engine of its own, but it's positioned around CRM deal and quota pipelines rather than door-to-door or install-triggered field-sales payout.
Yes — a 14-day Pro trial with no credit card and no sales call.
