Finch vs Kombo

The #1 unified API for U.S. payroll and HR systems

While Kombo claims 250+ integrations, the vast majority are ATS and international HR systems. For U.S.-based customers and payroll data, Finch is the clear winner.

Superior Coverage

Coverage where it counts

Most of Kombo's 250+ integrations are European HR tools or applicant-tracking systems (ATS). Of their HRIS integrations, less than half are U.S.-focused (36 of 86), and many popular systems are missing.

“Finch is the best solution in its category.”

Payroll integration shouldn’t be your core competency. Like Stripe for payments and Plaid for bank accounts, Finch is the best solution in its category. It would take you longer and cost you more to reinvent the wheel.

“Having an aggregator like Finch is amazing”

Having an aggregator like Finch is amazing, because we can connect into any one system that Finch is connected to. Then as Finch expands those relationships and its network of providers, that makes it a lot easier for us and a little more affordable to connect with more payroll providers.

“We can offer the support of technology to keep things running smoothly”

Payroll integration is almost mandatory for plans with 3(16) fiduciary services—which need frequent monitoring and reconciliation. For a lot of clients that's a challenge, and that’s where we can offer the support of technology to keep things running smoothly.

“Every time we can gain efficiency, that allows us to be much more competitive”

They told us, “It was maddening. I don’t have time for all of that.” With the Finch integration, once you hit that button to start onboarding, it’s 15 minutes or less. Most people are just like, “That can't be it.” And we can tell them no, really, that’s it.
