Incentivizer vs. Extu

Incentivizer® is a channel incentive management solution for vendors and distributors rewarding resellers, distributors and partner sales reps for revenue-driving activity. Buyers can run the platform in-house or have Incentivizer's managed service team run some or all of it. When to consider it - Partner claims live in spreadsheets and are approved over email - Reward buying is manual and rests on one or two people - Leadership wants clearer reporting on incentive spend - A program is expanding into more countries or product lines Choosing a delivery model - Self-serve platform: for teams that want to own strategy and day-to-day running. Starter, Pro and Advanced plans, or a bespoke Enterprise build. - Managed service: for teams short on time, headcount or specialist knowledge. Scoped through discovery and a written scope of work. - Enterprise plus managed service: custom functionality with delivery support. Customers can switch between the two as their capacity changes. What buyers get - Branded partner registration and claims - Deal Registration, Sales Accelerator and Task-Based designs across eight use cases - Single and bulk approvals, with instant individual rewards - Live reporting on pipeline, claims, spend and participation, across up to 40 countries Evidence to weigh More than 20 years of running incentive programs for clients.
