The Independent
Source for Benefits Intelligence
Founded in 2016, Bnchmrk was built to solve a simple problem: benefits professionals needed better data to make faster, smarter decisions. No more recycled spreadsheets, no more guessing games.
What Drives Us
Our core values shape every decision we make and every feature we build
Data Integrity First
Every data point is validated. No scraped data, no shortcuts, no compromises on accuracy.
Built for Professionals
Designed by consultants who understand the real challenges of managing benefit plans and benchmarking.
Independent & Unbiased
We don't sell leads, represent carriers, or have conflicts of interest. Just clean, reliable data.
Constantly Evolving
We ship new features monthly based on user feedback and changing industry needs.
Independent from Day One
Bnchmrk is a data-first company — not a lead generation platform, broker marketplace, or carrier subsidiary. We've built the most comprehensive benefits database in the industry and we've never sold access to anyone else.
Our proprietary data warehouse tracks 68,000+ validated benefit plans across the U.S., generating 15M+ verified data points that power instant benchmarking for consultants and HR teams nationwide.
This independence isn't just philosophical — it's practical. When your benchmarks aren't influenced by carrier relationships or lead generation goals, you can trust the data to guide your most important decisions.
Our Mission
To empower benefits professionals with clear, reliable benchmarking so they can lead smarter, faster conversations with clients, colleagues, and leadership.
Where We're Going
Benchmarking isn’t a starting point — it’s our foundation and our future. We're doubling down on building the most comprehensive, accurate, and insightful benchmarking platform in the industry.
That means growing the dataset, adding new datapoints, refining our methodology, and delivering new features and reports — all without adding complexity for our users. Everything continues to run on the same clean, structured data engine at the heart of Bnchmrk.
