I heard during two decades only single time about small company paying significantly more. The guy is specialist. There are handful of them worldwide. He was absolutely perfect fit and super desired candidate. Never ever heard more about small companies with serious salaries. It was always -20% or -30% from union tables be it in Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg. Special case might be small establishments of American companies with great salaries, but this is different topics. And some statistics at the end: https://karriere.de/mein-geld/gehaltsstudie-diese-20-unternehmen-zahlen-in-deutschland-am-meisten/ https://karriere.de/mein-geld/gehaltsstudie-diese-20-unterne... So no, not unionized smaller companies pay less with possible exemptions for key employees.

Truth probably is somewhere between my extreme and your extreme ... but I have - in 20 years of working in the country - not once encountered a situation in which an AT-contract I saw was not significantly better than an union contract when it came to compensation - both from some of the largest - and 100% pure German - conglomerates, and in the KMU sector. Which - incidentally - is why such companies advertise paying 'außertariflich' in their job adverts. Situation might be different for low- and non-skilled workers.
