Overview

What people use it for
- Posting jobs and tracking candidates through an applicant tracking system
- Running structured interviews, assessments and offers in one place
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Workable, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
