The easiest way to run flexible stipends and LSAs

Benefits that reflect the needs of your entire workforce, not just some. Eliminate manual admin with automation that gives your team unmatched flexibility while you only pay for what actually gets used.

Choose your guardrails

Set clear rules and funding cadence up front for categories like wellness, family, or learning. Once you define what aligns with company goals, Compt enforces eligibility so you don’t have to.

Automate tax compliance

Skip Googling what is or isn’t taxable. Compt’s built-in tax logic manages the specialized complexity of every expense — ensuring accurate tax handling, seamless payroll integration, and easy reimbursements.

Impact you can measure

Compt creates a visible, meaningful connection between your values and your people, while giving you the usage data you need to prove your program’s impact at scale.

Build a culture that recruits for you

Generic perks go unnoticed and stipends added directly to a paycheck are quickly forgotten. It’s hard to feel seen and valued by a line item on a paystub. 

Compt turns invisible spend into a visible, meaningful benefit.
You get a culture so impactful that it does the recruiting for you, while your team gets the freedom to choose what they actually need — all while removing the manual admin from your plate.

One home for your stipends, rewards, and more

Why manage a dozen different vendors or get buried in a mountain of one-off requests? Compt gives you the flexibility to support your people’s individual needs under the guardrails you set up once.

Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs)

Whether your team is in NYC, Canada, Ukraine, or the Philippines, LSAs provide employees with equitable support to spend their stipends on what they value.

Wellness

Give your team a wellness benefit that reflects their real needs — whether that’s a gym membership or yoga class, a therapy session, a weekly grocery run, or even new sneakers.

Professional Development

Stop the back-and-forth over course approvals. Approve learning requests in seconds with built-in manager workflows, so your team gets what they need to grow and you get the oversight you’ve been missing.

Family & Caregiving

Life doesn’t happen in a one-size-fits-all box. From IVF to emergency childcare and support for aging parents, give your team the flexibility to handle big moments without the financial stress.
