Palette vs Prowi
An independent, review-free comparison compiled by the SaaSTracker editorial team. Both products are profiled in full, and neither can pay for placement here.
The short answer
Both sides assessedPalette compared with Prowi
Prowi is Danish, priced at 269 to 349 DKK per user per month, and built around a mobile employee app plus native Danish payroll integrations and statutory leave handling. Palette is the broader platform with more connectors, warehouse support, a scenario builder, and a wider European footprint. Choose Prowi if you pay through Danlon or Zenegy and want the mobile-first rep experience; choose Palette if you need warehouse data, multi-currency, and a product that scales past 50 seats.
Prowi compared with Palette
Palette is a much bigger platform with more than twenty native connectors, warehouse support, a scenario builder, EU hosting in France, and SOC 2 Type 2, at a flat $590 per month for up to 15 seats with free admin seats. Prowi is per user, mobile-first, and built around Danish employment law and payroll. Choose Palette if you need warehouse data, multi-currency from the start, and a vendor with a documented security posture; choose Prowi if you are a Danish team who wants sellers approving their own pay on a phone.
Choose Palette if
European and North American revenue teams of roughly 10 to 100 payees who want a modern, well-designed commission platform with a predictable flat monthly cost, unlimited free admin seats, and EU data residency, and who are comfortable buying through a short sales conversation rather than a self-serve signup.
Choose Prowi if
Danish and Nordic sales teams of roughly five to fifty people on commission or bonus, running HubSpot or Pipedrive, who pay through Danlon or Zenegy and need statutory leave handling built in, and who want sellers to see their pay in a phone app rather than in a monthly spreadsheet.

| Setup time | Weeks rather than months for a standard plan on a native connector. The heavier work is data reconciliation when revenue truth is split across a CRM and a billing system, which is exactly what the Scale package's transformation tool exists to handle. | Weeks. The onboarding fee, from 5,500 DKK on Starter and 10,500 DKK on Business, buys a guided setup, and the ten pre-configured models on Starter exist specifically so that a standard Danish commission plan does not need to be built from scratch. |
| Learning curve | Low for reps, who get a dashboard and a statement, and moderate for the admin. Building plans on arbitrary CRM fields is powerful and also means the quality of your CRM hygiene sets the ceiling on how good your commission data can be. | Low on both sides. Sellers get a phone app rather than a portal to remember, and admins on Starter are choosing from a fixed set of models rather than designing rules. Business-tier custom models raise the admin effort in exchange for flexibility. |

Strengths and limitations
Palette
Strengths
- Flat package pricing with unlimited free admin seats, which removes the per-user tax on finance, ops, and management that inflates competitor bills.
- Prices are published, in a category where CaptivateIQ, Everstage, Performio, Visdum, Qobra, and Remuner all require a call before naming a number.
- More than twenty native connectors spanning seven CRMs, seven billing systems, and five warehouse or database sources, including tools like Close, Pipedrive, Pennylane, and Sellsy that European teams actually run.
- A scenario builder that compares plan designs in one click, which converts comp planning from opinion into a costed decision.
Limitations
- Clawbacks, ramps, draws, multi-currency, and release-on-payment are all Scale features, so the real entry price for a plan with any of those is $1,110 a month rather than $590.
- No free trial and no self-serve signup; despite publishing prices, every package requires a sales conversation, which undercuts the transparency somewhat.
- Implementation fees are described only as flexible, so the total first-year cost cannot be determined from public information.
- Data is hosted exclusively on AWS in France with no advertised US region, which is a straightforward blocker for buyers with domestic residency requirements.
Prowi
Strengths
- Publishes per-user prices and onboarding fees on a public page, including the setup cost that most competitors in this category keep private.
- Danish statutory handling of vacation and sick leave is built into the commission calculation, which no international competitor in this set does.
- Direct payroll integration with Danlon and Zenegy turns the payout into a one-click run rather than a monthly export and import ritual.
- The employee app for iOS and Android with live pay tracking and instant sale notifications is the strongest mobile rep experience in this comparison set.
Limitations
- The company is very small and very young: registered in May 2022, three to five employees, and a loss reported for the 2025 financial year. Vendor durability is a legitimate concern.
- Split commission and custom models are Business-tier features, so any team with team-selling or a non-standard plan is starting at 349 DKK per user rather than 269.
- Corrections for historical sales and multi-currency are Prowi+ features requiring a quote, which puts two important capabilities behind a sales conversation.
- The value proposition is tightly bound to Denmark; outside the Nordics the statutory leave handling and payroll integrations are irrelevant and the product becomes an ordinary commission tool.
Pricing compared
Palette
Flat package pricing by seat band rather than per user, with unlimited free admin seats. Twenty percent discount for annual billing. Implementation fees are described as flexible and are quoted separately.
- Starter$590 per month on annual billing, or $790 billed monthly
- Scale$1,110 per month
- EnterpriseCustom
Palette is the best-value modern product in this category for a team of roughly 15 to 30 earning reps, and the reason is the packaging rather than the sticker. Fifteen seats at $590 is about $39 a seat with every admin free, and thirty seats at $1,110 is about $37, against per-user competitors that charge for admins and add a platform fee on top. You are also getting a genuinely well-built product with a scenario builder, EU hosting, SOC 2 Type 2, and more than twenty native connectors. The two things dragging on the value are the Starter feature gaps, which push most real plans up to Scale, and the unquoted implementation fee, which makes true first-year cost impossible to model from the website. Under ten payees the flat fee is poor value; between fifteen and 60 it is among the best available.
Prowi
Per-user subscription billed annually in two published tiers plus a quoted top tier, with a separate one-time onboarding fee on every plan.
- Starter269 DKK per user per month
- Business349 DKK per user per month
- Prowi+Quoted
For a Danish sales team, this is strong value and the comparison set is not really the American vendors. At roughly $40 per user with published onboarding from 5,500 DKK, Prowi costs about the same as Sales Cookie and less than QuotaPath once the platform fee is counted, and it does something neither of them does: it applies Danish statutory leave rules to variable pay and posts the result into Danlon or Zenegy without a human. The employee app and the pre-payout approval flow are worth more than their feature descriptions suggest, because they remove the argument rather than documenting it. The weaknesses are structural rather than about pricing: split commission and direct payroll both live on the Business tier, corrections and multi-currency sit behind a quote, and the vendor is a three-to-five person company that filed a loss in 2025. Excellent value inside Denmark. Almost no case for it outside the Nordics.
Editorial verdict on each
Palette
MomentumPalette is the best-designed commission platform a small European company can actually afford, and the packaging is the reason. A flat $590 a month for up to 15 seats with unlimited free admin seats beats per-user pricing outright once you count the managers, analysts, and finance people who never earn a commission, and the product behind it is modern: real-time calculation, a scenario builder that costs a plan change before you announce it, more than twenty native connectors, and SOC 2 Type 2 with hosting in France. Two things to check before you commit. Clawbacks, ramps, draws, and multi-currency all live in the $1,110 Scale package, so confirm which tier your actual plan needs. And the implementation fee is unpublished, so get it quoted before the transparency of the price list convinces you the total is known. For 15 to 60 earners in Europe, this is the strongest all-round choice here.

Prowi is a local product that beats the international field on local ground. If you are a Danish company paying commission through Danlon or Zenegy, the statutory leave handling and the one-click payroll run remove the two steps that actually break a Danish commission process, and no American competitor offers either. The employee app and the approve-before-payout flow are genuinely well judged, catching errors before the money moves instead of documenting them afterwards. Prices and onboarding fees are published openly, and a five-person team can sign up without a sales call. Set against that: split commission needs the Business tier, corrections and multi-currency need a quote, there is no ASC 606 story, and the company is three to five people two years past registration with a loss on the books. Inside Denmark, this is the sensible first choice. Outside the Nordics, there is no reason to buy it.
