PayTransparency.app vs Relio

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.

Relio reviews public job postings for potential hiring compliance concerns, presents evidence behind findings, and recommends next steps. Checks can flag missing pay or benefits disclosures, location-related concerns, likely duplicates, stale postings, and conflicting public information. It reviews supported public postings across applicable U.S. jurisdictions and updates its review logic as requirements change. A free one-time review covers up to 25 supported postings without login or ATS access. Continuous Monitoring rechecks careers pages and confirmed job-board listings weekly, then sends a Weekly Compliance Summary of changes. Relio keeps finding histories that include new, changed, resolved, and reopened items. It lists support for a range of recruiting systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and SmartRecruiters, but reviews public careers-site data without connecting to or logging into an ATS. Relio says traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, its application database is not exposed to the internet, and it does not store candidate personal data. Free-review URL and results are deleted after 30 days; monitoring data is retained during an active subscription and for 90 days after cancellation. Continuous Monitoring costs $299 a month; Portfolio Monitoring costs $899 a month. Relio identifies potential concerns, not legal determinations or certification of compliance.
