PayTransparency.app vs WorkSignal

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.
