SalaryBase isn’t really alone there in the Internet when it comes to evaluating your true value (ok, only in terms of Salary no more than that). Here’s a candid approach to take a look some other leading solutions and compare – am I missing something big here?

| Background | mid-90’s – publicly traded company the back-then bubble of 2000 | web 1.0 era privately held company 2006 | lean web2.0 operation |
| Target Audience | Employers, Employees, and the HR community | Presumably Employees but also Employers (they call it ‘3rd parties’ to which they sell the data | Employers only |
| Revenue Source | all of the above | all of the above | Advertisements |
| Cost for Salary Reports | $50 (basic report free) | $20 (basic report free) | Free |
| User Experience | numerous screens registrations, payment login | notorious multiple screens registration | Simple one screen. no registration process. Detailed flash-based reports |
| Information Source | proprietary salary.com backend systems – not visible to the user | although they pride themselves as having data from real users, the source of the numbers also come from industry reports. No true visibility to the exact profiles your compare with | totally transparent – users can see the relevant people profile Community none only provide the ability to see a couple of real relevant profiles ability to see all relevant profiles reported in the system. Ability to rate the other profiles |
