Payfederate vs PayTransparency.app

Payfederate is an AI-powered compensation platform for pricing jobs, setting salary ranges, communicating pay, and managing offers. It can combine selected survey data with current job-posting data to support market pricing. Job tools include a catalog, job creation and editing, audit tracking, and reports; AI matching examines job content, skills, responsibilities, and requirements to recommend market matches. Compensation teams can create salary ranges and grade structures and model the financial impact of changes. Employee statements can show base salary, short- and long-term incentives, and benefits. Offer workflows provide salary range and internal-equity visibility for hiring managers, compensation teams, finance, and recruiters. Payfederate says it integrates with benchmarking providers, recruiting software, and HRIS, HCM, and payroll systems; named partners include Salary.com CompAnalyst, WageScape, and Trusaic. It states that it is SOC 2 certified and offers end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and SSO. The advertised trial lasts 30 days and requires no credit card. Basic costs $600 a month and supports up to 500 employees; API data connectors cost extra.

PayTransparency.app checks job postings against pay-transparency laws in US states, New York City, and the EU. Its free checker accepts pasted job descriptions or URLs without signup, while a free account unlocks bulk scanning across a careers board. The service extracts whether a posting includes a pay range, the range figures, benefits information, and remote status. It evaluates applicable laws using employee-count thresholds and effective dates, including city ordinances and the EU Directive, and cites violations. Results provide a verdict for each jurisdiction and statutory fine exposure, including per-posting penalty ranges and remote-role risk. Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby boards are supported, as are public careers pages through a generic scraper. Pro adds unlimited scans, nightly automated scanning, email alerts for new violations, posting history, PDF reports, unlimited team seats, and priority support. Pro costs $99 a month and has a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card to start; users can cancel at any time. The site says free-checker submissions are not stored. It also states that it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
