Know Your Worth — Salary Intel Powered by On-Device AI
GOPrivate salary intelligence powered by on-device AI. Users paste job listings and receive market data, negotiation scripts, and red flag detection without data leaving their phone.
The compensation software market represents a $19.93B TAM. OfferCheck targets the growing demand for privacy-first salary tools among job seekers and professionals.
Freemium + IAP model: negotiation templates ($4.99), red flags detection ($7.99/mo), PDF export ($2.99), annual pro ($49.99/yr).
iOS 17+ native, SwiftUI framework, on-device Foundation Models, integrated BLS/O*NET APIs for labor market data.
Unique privacy-first approach differentiates from Glassdoor's data-collection model and Levels.fyi's tech-only focus. On-device AI eliminates privacy concerns.
Market leaders (Glassdoor 10M+, Levels.fyi 500K-1M users) dominate. OfferCheck's niche strength is privacy; weakness is iOS-only limitation.

Position: Largest salary intelligence platform with 10M+ users and 4.2-star rating. Dominates through scale, brand, and company review ecosystem.
Data Sources & Quality: Glassdoor aggregates company reviews and user-submitted salary data. While comprehensive, the platform's data quality suffers from:
10M+ users contribute salary data across all industries globally, creating depth and breadth of data.
Unique value: employees share authentic company culture, interview difficulty, management quality. OfferCheck doesn't offer this.
Web, iOS, Android coverage ensures accessibility across all devices and operating systems.
User-submitted salaries often lag 6-12 months behind current market rates. During rapid market shifts (2023-2024 layoff cycle), data became stale and inaccurate.
Glassdoor forces users to create accounts to access salary data, reducing friction-free discovery. This creates user friction and abandonment.
User data is monetized via B2B employer services ($125+/mo). This conflicts with privacy-conscious job seekers who prefer zero data collection.
Glassdoor provides raw data without AI analysis. OfferCheck's on-device AI (red flags, negotiation scripts) is a capability gap Glassdoor hasn't filled.
OfferCheck Opportunity: While Glassdoor dominates breadth, OfferCheck can capture privacy-conscious users by ensuring zero data collection, delivering fresher data via API integrations (BLS/O*NET), and adding AI-driven analysis that Glassdoor lacks.
Position: Niche leader in tech/FAANG compensation with 500K-1M users and exceptional 4.9-star rating. Dominates tech compensation benchmarking.
Competitive Advantages:
Levels.fyi aggregates data with verification tiers: self-reports, offer letters, W2s/pay stubs (strictest). This ensures higher accuracy than crowd-sourced data.
Shows base salary, RSUs, bonuses, signing bonuses. Tech users expect this level of detail; OfferCheck must support this.
Levels.fyi contextualizes roles within company structures (L3-L6 at Google, E3-E5 at Amazon). Essential for tech professionals evaluating offers.
Explores visa sponsorship trends, visa salary floors, immigration context. Unique to Levels.fyi.
Levels.fyi only covers FAANG and top tech companies. Non-tech roles, startups, and geographic diversity are missing. OfferCheck can serve all industries.
Coaching add-ons cost $500-2000/session, creating high barriers. OfferCheck's $49.99/yr is 40x cheaper than one coaching session.
Levels.fyi has no native iOS/Android apps. OfferCheck's iOS native app offers convenience and offline functionality.
Levels.fyi requires manual company/role lookup. OfferCheck's job listing paste-and-analyze feature is faster and lower friction.
OfferCheck Opportunity: Levels.fyi's tech-only focus and expensive coaching open doors. OfferCheck can serve all industries (banking, healthcare, legal, sales) with affordable ($49.99/yr) automated analysis and negotiation guidance. The iOS app + on-device AI is a distribution and privacy advantage Levels.fyi lacks.
Payscale (3.5★, 1M+): Historical player with data quality issues and aggressive sales tactics. Declining relevance as Glassdoor and Levels.fyi captured market share.
Salary.com (3.5★, 1M+): Legacy web tool with inaccurate location data and outdated salary ranges. Low user satisfaction reflects stagnation.
Jobjuice (4.0★, 50K): One-time purchase model ($19.99) with limited data and generic negotiation scripts. Low user adoption (50K) suggests poor market fit.
OfferCheck Positioning: All competitors rely on web or crowd-sourced data. None offer on-device AI + privacy-first + job listing analysis + iOS convenience. OfferCheck fills this gap.
Foundation Models running locally on iOS 17+. No server-side processing, no data transmission. Competitors' cloud-based models require data upload, creating privacy friction.
Zero user data collection, no profiles, no advertising. In an era of privacy concerns, this is a differentiator. Glassdoor and Levels monetize data; OfferCheck doesn't.
Paste job listings → get salary benchmarks, red flags, negotiation scripts. No competitor offers this frictionless workflow. It's faster than manual lookup.
$49.99/yr pro tier vs. Levels' $500-2000 coaching or Glassdoor's $125/mo B2B services. Accessibility drives volume.
Native iOS app with offline functionality (models download locally). Levels.fyi web-only; Glassdoor app is secondary. OfferCheck is native-first.
BLS/O*NET + government sources ensure freshness without crowd-sourcing delays. Complements on-device AI for real-time accuracy.
Job seekers 25-45 who value privacy, demand transparency in compensation, and want quick (under 2 minutes) decision support before salary discussions. They're annoyed by data brokers and aggressive recruitment tactics.
