Argyle gives you direct, consumer-permissioned access to someone's live payroll account, pay stubs, direct deposit details, employment status, the works, through a single API that connects to a large number of payroll systems and gig platforms. It's built for real-time, event-driven use: instead of asking someone to upload a document once, you get notified when their income or employment status actually changes.
That real-time, direct-source model is exactly what makes it hard to defraud compared to document-based verification. A forged pay stub doesn't exist in this world, the data comes straight from the payroll provider the employee is connected to.
Argyle doesn't publish pricing, it's usage-based and quoted per deal, and it's squarely a developer tool: there's no real front-end dashboard experience for a non-technical HR person to just log into. If your team doesn't have engineering resources to integrate an API, this isn't the right entry point into income verification, look at Truework instead for something closer to a point-and-click experience.
Pricing
