Snappt
Pros
- Genuinely good at catching altered or edited documents through forensic metadata analysis
- Fast rulings (about ten minutes) with a human analyst backstop
- Proven at scale in tenant screening, millions of applications processed
Cons
- Can't catch a cleanly fabricated stub for a fake employer, only source verification does that
- Built for property management and tenant screening, not HR onboarding; its integrations reflect that
- Enterprise contract and quote-only, not self-serve for occasional SMB use
The Work Number (Equifax)
Pros
- The broadest single source of US employment and income data, the incumbent for a reason
- As an employer, contributing offloads the verification requests that would otherwise hit HR, at no cost
- Automated and always-on, no manual verification letters to chase
Cons
- Not self-serve for SMB verifiers, access is credentialed and usually reached through a partner
- Verifier pricing is quote and per-pull, not published
- US-only, and it's a database of record, not a fraud-detection tool
