PayTransparency.app vs TR-sparently

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.

TR-sparently is a web-based Rewards Operating System for European companies, focused on organizational architecture, pay analysis, and compliance. Its analytics cover demographics, pay-for-performance, pay compression, and pay bands. Compliance tools provide automated gender pay gap calculations, Article 9 reports, and Joint Pay Assessment for all 27 EU member states, with audit trails and country-targeted reports. An AI-assisted leveling module helps HR and business teams establish or formalize job architecture. Recruiters can view salary ranges, receive offer guidance aligned with those ranges, and inspect internal equity subject to an anonymity threshold. The AI assistant is described as trained on the Directive, grounded in customer data, and hosted on EU infrastructure. Outputs include citations to directive articles, dataset rows, or methodology clauses. The site says analysis can examine individual pay gaps and tailor narratives to a specific level, job, and performance gap. The service is onboarding early customers through an access request form. Pricing is paid and available on request.
