Truework alternatives

Truework is a solid choice, but not for everyone. Teams needing employment verification outside the US, or ultra-high-volume checking where per-check costs won't pencil out. Here's what to look at instead.

Argyle

Real-time payroll data API, built for developers not HR teams

Contact the vendor for current pricing — it's usage-based, quoted per deployment on expected verification volume and use case. Reported per-verification costs run from low single digits to around $10 depending on type, a fraction of what legacy VOE bureaus charge per report.7.8/10

T

The Work Number (Equifax)

The incumbent income database of record, the one most lenders and screeners already hit

Two sides, two prices. Contributing your employees' data (as an employer) is offered at no additional cost by Equifax. Accessing the database to verify someone (as a credentialed verifier) is FCRA-gated and priced per verification, contact Equifax or go through a screening partner for current pricing; per-pull costs run in line with other verification-of-employment bureaus.7.2/10

Editor's Pick

Middesk

Verifies the business is real before you verify the human is

Contact the vendor for current pricing — Middesk negotiates per-verification rates based on volume. Companies running 1,000–5,000 checks a month have reported landing somewhere around $2–$5 per verification, with the number dropping as commitment and volume go up.8.2/10
