Featured app • Openroll
Model comp, headcount, and budgets by just asking, no spreadsheets required
Every comp review starts the same way. Someone builds a spreadsheet, pulls numbers from three systems, and models it for hours, and by the time it is done the data has already changed. Openroll connects to your HR and finance systems and answers the question the moment you ask it, in plain language. What used to take a weekend of modeling takes seconds, and you can see exactly how every number was derived. Trusted by teams at Notion, Planhat, and Mentimeter.
What is it:
An AI platform for people and finance teams that runs compensation reviews, headcount planning, and budgeting from plain-language questions.
Who is it for:
HR and finance teams who lose hours to spreadsheets every time comp, headcount, or budget comes up.
Alternative to:
Pave, Carta, Mosaic, or endless spreadsheets.
Why we like it:
We like Openroll because it connects to your HR and finance systems and answers comp, headcount, and budget questions in seconds, with a full audit trail showing how every number was derived.
