Best for I-9 and E-Verify compliance
WorkBright handles I-9 and E-Verify for US employers. The home page prices WorkBright+ at $25 per I-9 record, but subscription prices aren't published and you book a demo. It covers US eligibility rules only.
Who WorkBright is for
- Fits if you hire in the US and need I-9s done right
- Works for employers who'd rather hand off I-9 tasks at $25 a record
Who WorkBright is not for
- Not for you if you hire outside the US, as it covers US employment eligibility rules
- Pricey if you file a lot of I-9s, because $25 a record adds up
- Watch out: subscription prices aren't published
- Too light for general HR: it does I-9 and E-Verify
Why WorkBright gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$25 per I-9 record on WorkBright+, which we can't set against per-seat prices, and the subscription has no price. C by default.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- CFeaturesI-9 and E-Verify do the job in full, and it is a narrow one, so C.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with three listed integrations. No phone or desktop app.

Keep WorkBright, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace WorkBright you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. WorkBright’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
