Onboarded vs Patriot I-9

Onboarded runs onboarding and compliance workflows for staffing firms, high-volume employers, and platforms embedding hiring processes. Its policy engine assigns requirements by role, location, and client context, then triggers the next action when a step clears. The compliance library includes I-9 and W-4 forms, E-Verify, WOTC screening, withholding forms for all 50 states, and client-specific requirements, with US and Canadian federal, state, and provincial coverage. Checks include identity and document review, SSN trace and address history, plus criminal, MVR, and OIG/SAM screening. Field-level timestamps and logs cover forms, verifications, and compliance actions, and packets can be exported. Workers start from a text or email link without an app or password. The platform offers an AI form builder, more than 50 integrations, REST API, SFTP exchange, and an MCP server for compatible AI clients. It is available on web and through an API. Pricing is available on request.

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.
