The real difference: where the product starts
Sequifi started as an HR/payroll platform for D2D and built commission as a feature. D2DHQ started as a commission platform for D2D and now includes core canvassing. Both companies are filling out toward the all-in-one D2D platform end state, but they're approaching from opposite sides — and that shapes what each product is better at today.
| Where each tool fits | Sequifi | D2DHQ |
|---|---|---|
| Center of gravity | HR & payroll first | Commission payroll first |
| D2D commission payroll | Yes | Yes — purpose-built |
| Door knocker / field app | Not built | Core app included |
| HR / W2 onboarding suite | Full HRIS | Commission-focused |
| Pricing model | Per-rep / month, tiered | Flat monthly deal caps, no per-user fees |
| Onboarding | Quote-based, multi-week | $500 flat, 5–7 days |
When Sequifi is the right choice
Choose Sequifi if your bottleneck is on the people side: high W2 headcount, complex HR compliance, multi-state payroll administration, formal onboarding workflows that need integrated W4/I-9 collection, benefits administration, and you want one vendor handling HRIS + payroll + commission from a single relationship.
When D2DHQ is the right choice
Choose D2DHQ if your bottleneck is on the commission side: 1099-heavy roster (most D2D teams), carrier statements that drive your payroll, clawback windows you're currently tracking by hand, QuickBooks reconciliation that's eating ops time, and signed statements your reps can trust every payday.
Most D2D operators are 1099-dominant, especially in pest summer programs, fiber, and solar. For these teams the “HR” layer is light by design — what you actually need is bulletproof commission math, signed PDF statements per cycle, and clean QuickBooks bills. D2DHQ is purpose-built for that.
Pricing math at scale
A 50-rep team scaling to 100 during summer ramp pays Sequifi roughly double during ramp months — even though those ramp reps may close little. D2DHQ's flat deal-cap pricing means the bill is tied to settled production, not headcount on payroll. For seasonal businesses (pest, storm roofing, solar push windows), this is a real difference in unit economics.
Onboarding cost is the second pricing variable nobody quotes upfront.Most D2D commission platforms charge $3,000–$15,000 for onboarding to migrate rate cards, import history, wire payroll, and train. D2DHQ charges $500 flatand ships in 5–7 days after the required files arrive.
The migration path
Migrating from Sequifi (or any commission tool) to D2DHQ takes 5–7 business days after the required files arrive. White-glove onboarding handles it: rate cards, recent commission history, QuickBooks setup, training, and a first-payday audit alongside your bookkeeper. $500 flat. Money-back guarantee if we don't deliver.
