Where each one falls short

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

Recruitee

  • Job slot pricing punishes high-volume and seasonal hiring, because a retailer opening 60 roles for a Christmas peak pays for slots it does not need for the other ten months of the year.
  • Sourcing and recruitment CRM are shallow compared with dedicated tools, so passive candidate outreach happens in LinkedIn and gets pasted back in.
  • US compliance reporting for equal opportunity and federal contractor obligations is weaker than North American buyers expect, which rules it out for some regulated employers.
  • Ownership by the Tellent group means investment is now weighed against a wider suite, so ATS-only customers compete for roadmap attention with the HRIS and performance products.
  • Reporting is adequate at the funnel level but customers consistently find that anything bespoke requires exporting data and rebuilding the analysis in a spreadsheet or BI tool.

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

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

By the number of job slots you keep active, with unlimited users. Compare it against per-seat products by modelling your real concurrent requisition count, not headcount.

Workable offers three pricing tiers: Standard at $299/month ($3,588/year with 20% discount), Premier at $599/month ($7,188/year), and Enterprise at $719/month ($8,628/year). Annual plans save 20% compared to monthly billing.

Recruitee: Who owns Recruitee?

It is part of Tellent, a European group that also sells an HRIS and a performance management product.

Workable: Does Workable offer a free trial?

Yes, Workable offers a 15-day free trial that requires no credit card.

Source
Recruitee: Can I pause a job slot?

Slots are reusable, so closing a role frees the slot for the next one. The cost only rises when concurrent open roles exceed your plan.

Workable: What happens to AI credits if I don't use them before they expire?

AI credits are non-refundable and expire 1 year from purchase. If you purchase additional credits beyond the 3,000 included with your plan, unused credits will be forfeited after 12 months.

Source
Recruitee: Is it suitable for agency recruitment?

No. It is built for in-house hiring. Agencies need a system with client and placement management such as Bullhorn or JobAdder.

Workable: Do I get support included with my Workable subscription?

Workable includes priority support for advanced features, and the pricing page mentions GDPR automation tools for compliance, though specific support response times are not detailed on the pricing page.
