Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Jobvite

  • No pricing is published and no minimum is stated
  • The product is sold as a core applicant tracking system with onboarding, AI and recruitment marketing as separately added modules, so cost depends on a combination rather than a tier
  • Every route to a figure is a quote request

Kudos

  • Kudos publishes no price for any of its three tiers (Basic, Plus, Enterprise); the entire plans page gates every tier behind "Request a Demo" or "Request a Trial" with only a discount for not-for-profit organizations over 100 employees mentioned, no figures given (archived plans page, 22 February 2021)
