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
Workable
- The Standard plan is $299 a month and still charges separately for texting at $89, video interviews at $109 and assessments at $59 a month
- Reaching a plan where those three are included means Premier at $599 a month
- Unlimited active jobs is qualified by a fair usage limit rather than being an actual cap
- AI features run on credits, and credits expire one year from purchase
- Published plan prices cover 1 to 20 employees, so larger headcounts are quoted separately
