## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- **Features: C.** I-9 and E-Verify do the job in full, and it is a narrow one, so C.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with three listed integrations. No phone or desktop app.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Employee records and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
