  • Entry pricing is $75 per user per month, rising to $240 on the top tier

Greenhouse

  • Core plan lacks talent discovery and contact lookups

  • Plus plan lacks resume anonymisation and application limits
  • Plus plan lacks audit logging and developer tools
  • Pricing customised by hiring volume and company size, not published
  • Only Pro tier offers audit logs and developer sandbox
