Clear I-9 vs Patriot I-9

Clear I-9 is standalone web software for managing Form I-9 compliance. Step-by-step guidance and automated checks support form completion, while time-stamped, version-controlled records and centralized dashboards support review and audit work. Section 2 can be handled remotely through live video verification or approved U.S.-based representatives. The product also supports E-Verify case management, including automatic data transfer, alerts, and follow-up workflows for Tentative Nonconfirmations. HRlogics describes the software for distributed teams and high-volume hiring in staffing, education, construction, hospitality, event venues, and healthcare. Teams can manage multiple locations with role-based access and customizable dashboards. Integration options include pre-built connections, public API access, CSV imports, and secure file transfers; named providers include ADP, Gusto, UKG, Paychex, and Paycom.

Patriot I-9 provides employers with web-based electronic Form I-9 and E-Verify software. Its guided online process checks I-9 entries for errors, and users can submit an employee's E-Verify case from the electronic form. The service tracks expiring work authorization and other deadlines, sending alerts by email. Employers can search stored I-9s, print them as PDFs, and create reports by jobsite, department, and geographic location. Internet access allows records to be managed across company locations. A federal contractor service can submit existing I-9s to E-Verify for the customer and provide real-time reports across locations. Administrator permission levels control access, while an audit log tracks actions relating to an I-9. The company describes Patriot I-9 as an official DHS designated agent and says DHS quality-checks its online I-9 annually. Training, setup, and support are included. The cloud-based service requires no installation or downloads. Seat licenses and E-Verify have no charge; stored forms cost $1.25 per month, and each new I-9 created and confirmed as compliant costs $3.00 USD.
