BrightHire pricing
BrightHire publishes 4 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 31 August 2026, BrightHire pricing is on request across 4 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

BrightHire plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recruiters | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
| Teams | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Enterprises | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
| BrightHire Screen | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full BrightHire feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Interview recording and transcription
- Live interviewer guidance
- Highlight reels
- Searchable transcript library
- Interviewer analytics
- ATS integration
- BrightHire Screen
- Consent and compliance controls
People bring BrightHire in for a hiring panel that keeps disagreeing about what a candidate said and needs the transcript rather than four memories, auditing whether structured interview guides are actually being followed rather than merely published, coaching new interviewers using recordings of their own calls instead of secondhand feedback, reviewing hiring processes for consistency and adverse impact with evidence a legal team will accept. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to BrightHire are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Recruitment
Too few recruitment tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BrightHire (this page) | On request | quote | - | |
| SeekOut | On request | Per user per month, self-serve entry tier then per seat by quote | - | vs BrightHire |
| hireEZ | On request | quote, enterprise pricing set against the tool stack replaced | - | vs BrightHire |
| ZipRecruiter | On request | Per active job slot per month, quoted individually | - | vs BrightHire |
| Oracle Taleo | On request | quote | - | vs BrightHire |
| Codility | On request | Per year by candidate invite volume, with platform user limits per tier | - | vs BrightHire |
| Karat | On request | quote | - | vs BrightHire |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the BrightHire badges page.
Before you pay for BrightHire
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare BrightHire against the tools that do have one before committing.
BrightHire runs on web, zoom, microsoft teams, google meet, and is published by BrightHire (Zoom Communications) of New York, New York, United States. The full record is on the BrightHire review, and the rest of the category is under best recruitment tools.
