Where each one falls short

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

Recruiterbox

  • Pricing not publicly displayed; requires contacting sales for quotes
  • Limited integration marketplace compared to competitors
  • Web-based only; no dedicated mobile app
  • Smaller feature set for enterprise-level hiring compared to larger ATS platforms

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
