Run comp the way you build.

Your teams already work with AI agents and LLMs. Your comp should too: plans that build themselves, data your AI stack can use, reps who get instant answers.

Keep up with plan changes.

New pricing models, new tiers, new packaging every quarter. Update a comp plan in minutes, on your own.

How Qobra does it

Comp on any revenue model.

Usage data from your warehouse

Snowflake, BigQuery, and more: consumption data flows in natively, so commissions follow real usage, not estimates.

Hybrid commit and consumption rules

Pay on commit at signature, on usage over time, or both. Accelerators, true-ups, and clawbacks run by themselves.
