Payments are approved by a payroll admin in the Everee portal, or automatically if Everee sets that up.\n\n### Paychex (E)\n\nGood for: A software partner with shared customers on Paychex Flex that needs to sync workers, pay rates, direct deposits and tax setup, or to send hours and earnings into pay entry.\n\nAhead on:\n- Security \u0026 auth, 58 against 43\n\nWatch for: Partner access needs a questionnaire, review by the Corporate Partnerships Team, a demo and final approval. The sandbox is issued only after approval\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Everee | Paychex | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 87 | 41 | Everee +46 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 66 | Everee +1 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 56 | 54 | Everee +2 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 43 | 58 | Paychex +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 10 | 0 | Everee +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 46 | 26 | Everee +20 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 56 | 54 | Everee +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **55.1 · C** | **44.8 · E** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Everee | Paychex |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Everee, Inc. | Paychex, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.everee.com` | no (local only) |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | OAuth |\n| Pricing | Paid | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Everee's Terms and Conditions and Payroll \u0026 Payment Service Terms.

The API has no preview or approval endpoint, no single OpenAPI file, no SDK and no changelog, and a company instance starts with a sales call.\n\n**Paychex.** A public OpenAPI 3.0.3 definition covers 110 operations, and payroll entries stay unprocessed until a person submits the payroll in Flex. Partner credentials and the sandbox follow approval by Paychex, no price is published, and no status page, SLA or SDK was found in the reviewed pages.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Everee\n\n1. Send two headers on every call, `authorization: basic \u003ctoken\u003e` and `x-everee-tenant-id`. Base64-encode a token that starts with `sk_` first.\n2. Derive each payable's `externalId` from stable data, never a timestamp or UUID, so a retried create is rejected instead of paying twice.\n3. For contractors, call POST `/integration/v1/payables/payment-request` after all payable items are sent and before admins approve. Without it contractors aren't paid.\n4. Send hourly wages through the Timesheets API, not Payables, and assign `workLocationId` so tax is worked out for the right jurisdiction.\n5. Don't expect the API to move money alone. Tell the user a payroll admin must approve in the portal unless auto-approval is enabled, and read Everee's terms on automated access first.\n\n### Paychex\n\n1. POST `grant_type=client_credentials` with the key and secret in the form body to `/auth/oauth/v2/token`. Tokens last 60 minutes and there is no refresh token, so request a new one\n2. Call GET `/companies` first. Worker and payroll paths need a `companyId` or `workerId` the app has been granted\n3. Send `offset` and `limit` on GET `/companies/{companyId}/workers`, 50 at most, and resend the `ETag` between pages. The unpaged form is withdrawn on 24 February 2027\n4. Creating a check doesn't pay anyone. A person must review and submit the payroll in Paychex Flex\n5. Send a unique `X-payx-client-correlationId` per request and keep the `x-payx-txid` from the response. Support asks for it\n6. On 423 the client is locked by another user or process. Wait and retry\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Everee or Paychex?\n\nEveree scores 55.1 (C) on agent readiness against Paychex's 44.8 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
