Where each one falls short

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

PostHog

  • The free tier covers 1M events, 5K web session recordings and 2.5K mobile recordings per month before usage-based billing starts
  • Accounts without a card on file are limited to 1 project; adding one raises it to 6
  • Data retention is 1 year until a card is added, which extends it to 7 years
  • Support is community-only until the account is on a paid plan
  • Error tracking is capped at 100K exceptions and surveys at 1500 responses per month on the free tier
