PayTransparency vs. Pave
Pave positions itself as a compensation platform: market benchmarking data, salary bands and compensation planning, sold to companies with a compensation function.
PayTransparency starts where the range has already been decided. It checks that the posting actually publishes that range, and anything else required, in a way that satisfies the law in each place the role can be filled.

Questions
If our ranges come from a benchmarking tool, are our postings compliant?
Not necessarily. A good range is the first step; the posting still has to show it, and some states also require a benefits description or other details. That's the part PayTransparency checks.
