Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before switching from Finch to Apideck.

Finch is a unified API scoped to employment data: HRIS, payroll, and benefits. Apideck covers HRIS and ATS alongside Accounting, CRM, File Storage, Issue Tracking, ERP, POS, and E-commerce — 200+ connectors behind one unified API. If your product needs employment data only, both work; if it integrates across categories, Apideck consolidates them.

Roughly 30 of Finch’s 250+ providers are automated API integrations; the majority are “assisted” connections serviced by manual operations workflows that refresh about every 7 days. Apideck connectors are automated API integrations.

Finch syncs automated connections roughly every 24 hours, and assisted connections about every 7 days. Apideck calls the underlying APIs in real time — there is no scheduled sync delay.

Finch’s write support is limited to benefits deductions; organization, payroll, and document data are read-only. Apideck supports full CRUD across its unified APIs where the underlying platforms allow it.

Finch’s Starter plan is $65/month per connection, capped at 15 connections and 24 providers with read-only access; full provider coverage and write access require quote-only Pro or Premier plans. Apideck publishes pricing and charges per consumer with unlimited calls.

No public OpenAPI spec is available — Finch’s spec powers its internal API Explorer and Postman collections only. Apideck publishes full OpenAPI specs for every unified API.

Yes. Finch lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. Apideck is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, hosts in the EU, and never persists third-party data at rest.
