FairNow vs Holistic AI
Best for
HR-tech vendors and HR teams needing AI-hiring bias audits and AI governance across NYC LL144, the EU AI Act and Colorado's AI law.
Enterprises needing centralized AI governance plus independent, regulator-facing bias audits for hiring and HR AI (NYC Local Law 144).
Strong when
You lack sufficient historical applicant data — FairNow's synthetic-data bias-audit approach was built for that case.
You must demonstrate independent third-party bias audits and multi-framework compliance across the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and NYC LL144.
Validate before buying
FairNow is no longer sold standalone; it is now part of the Optro (formerly AuditBoard) GRC platform, so procurement, pricing and roadmap are enterprise-GRC oriented.
Public funding and scale data is unreliable due to confusion with an unrelated company; certifications beyond SOC 2 are unconfirmed, and marketplace review presence is limited.
Pricing
Not publicly disclosed.
Quote-based; no public pricing.
Implementation
Not publicly disclosed; now delivered within the Optro platform.
Platform integrates via 15+ connectors; bias-audit engagements follow audit, report and ongoing annual assurance.
