The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Pinpoint pinpoint's homepage describes its applicant tracking system features in depth but every pricing action is a bare 'Request pricing' link, with no edition names or figures published anywhere on the site; BambooHR organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price
  • They diverge on capability: Pinpoint covers Applicant Tracking, BambooHR covers Employee database.
