Compensation plans
Board MLM compensation plan software
A revolving matrix that fills, splits, and cycles. Fast, gamified payouts that keep the field engaged, run precisely by Plondo.
What is a board compensation plan?
A board plan, also called a matrix cycler or revolving matrix, seats members onto a small board, for example two positions wide and two deep. When the board fills, it splits in two and the person at the top cycles out with a bonus, moving on to a new board.
The appeal is speed and momentum. Boards fill and cycle quickly, each cycle pays a bonus, and members often start again on a new board to keep the motion going. It is the most gamified of the common plans, which is why clear, exact software matters.
How the board plan pays
Small boards
Members are seated on a compact board, so it fills faster than a deep matrix.
Fill, split, cycle
A full board splits into two, and the top position cycles out with a cycle bonus.
Fresh boards
Members who cycle off can start again on a new board to keep earning, which sustains momentum.
Fast, visible progress
Members watch their board fill in real time, which keeps engagement and activity high.
Cycle bonuses
Each completed cycle pays a defined bonus, and leaders can earn on their team cycles.
Guardrails
Because boards move fast, exact rules and caps matter, and Plondo enforces them precisely.

Board plans live or die on precision. Plondo tracks every seat, splits boards the instant they fill, cycles the top position, and pays the cycle bonus in real time, with a complete audit trail so corporate can see exactly what happened and when.
You define the mechanics. Board size, split logic, how members start on a new board, cycle bonuses, and qualifications are all configurable, and changes ship in days. With 37 plan structures available, a board core can be paired with a unilevel or binary layer for residual income alongside the fast cycles.

Board plan questions
What is a matrix cycler?
It is another name for a board plan. Members fill a small matrix, or board, which then splits and cycles the top position out with a bonus. Plondo automates the fill, split, and cycle.
What happens after a member cycles off a board?
When a member cycles off a board, your rules can place them onto a new board so they keep earning. Plondo handles that automatically to your configuration.
Are board plans risky to run?
They move quickly, so exact rules, caps, and an audit trail matter. Plondo enforces every rule precisely and records each cycle, which reduces disputes and keeps the plan clean.
Can we combine a board plan with residual income?
Yes. Many companies pair fast board cycles with a unilevel or binary layer for ongoing residuals. Plondo supports 37 plan structures, so both can run together.
