FAQ
Common questions
How does Serret Pulse differ from Spiff?
Both handle commission tracking and plan management. Serret Pulse adds a complete gamification layer: XP levelling with 6 tiers, achievement badges, team challenges, and leaderboards. Spiff focuses purely on the compensation management side.
Is Spiff's Salesforce integration better?
Spiff is owned by Salesforce, so its native integration is very tight. Serret integrates with Salesforce via API but isn't native. If you're 100% Salesforce and don't need gamification, Spiff's integration is an advantage.
What are the XP levels?
Serret Pulse's 6 levels are: Rookie, Contender, Professional, Expert, Master, and Legend. Reps earn XP from sales activities, closed deals, and team challenges. The journey to Legend requires approximately 50,000 XP.
Can I use the free tier of Spiff instead?
Spiff's free tier covers basic commission tracking for simple plans. If that's all you need, it's a good option. Serret Pulse at $12/month adds leaderboards and badges; at $35/month, you get the full gamification engine.
