7 GoHire Alternatives to Compare in 2026 | 100Hires

The right GoHire alternatives depend on what you want to change: pricing structure, AI-assisted screening depth, sourcing and outreach, migration support, or how many active jobs and job-board postings a plan actually includes. GoHire is a job-posting-first ATS built for small businesses, with public pricing, branded careers pages, job-board distribution, resume parsing, candidate messaging, interview scheduling, hiring reports, and AI Candidate Matching.

Disclosure: 100Hires publishes this guide and is included as one of the options. We checked GoHire's own pricing page and each alternative's official pricing page on July 21, 2026, using a live browser render where prices load after the page opens. Prices can change, so use the linked vendor page to confirm the current plan, billing term, and any add-ons before you buy. We intentionally do not reuse marketplace star ratings or review counts because they change frequently and are not verifiable at the moment you read this.

What GoHire offers today

GoHire's current pricing page lists three plans: Starter, Growth, and Pro, all billed with unlimited users. Starter starts at £89 per month ($99/month in the US pricing toggle) for 3 active job posts plus CV parsing and AI Candidate Matching with usage limits. Growth starts at £149 per month ($199/month) for 10 active job posts, screening questions, customizable pipelines, and an activity feed. Pro starts at £249 per month ($299/month) for unlimited job posts, video questionnaires, interview scorecards, automated stage actions, and advanced reporting. Annual billing saves two months on any plan, and GoHire also runs a discounted early-stage program for qualifying startups.

An alternative is worth considering when another product better matches your job volume, AI depth, sourcing needs, or buying process.

GoHire alternatives at a glance

How we evaluated these alternatives

• Buyer fit: single-location small business, multi-location franchise, agency, or mid-market team.
• Pricing visibility: public numeric pricing versus a sales quote, and which currency the vendor defaults to.
• Plan constraints: active job limits, seats, AI usage credits, and locations per tier.
• Workflow: sourcing, screening, job-board distribution, scheduling, and reporting.
• AI scope: what the vendor documents today, and which plan actually includes it.
• Switching readiness: exports, imports, and migration support if you decide to move.

Before choosing any ATS, test one real role from application through disposition. Confirm candidate exports, job-board posting behavior, AI credit limits, and the total price for your actual job volume. A low starting price is not comparable if the plan excludes the active jobs, seats, or AI usage you need.

Seven independent GoHire alternatives to compare in 2026

1. Tribepad: for UK SME and enterprise teams that want a configurable ATS with CRM

Tribepad, founded in 2008 and based in the United Kingdom, sells its SME product, Tribepad Gro, for companies under 750 employees at £579 per month paid annually (or £625/month paid monthly, both on an annual commitment), plus a £2,000 one-time setup cost. Its enterprise product starts at £2,000 per month with a fixed bespoke quote based on modules, premium features, and integrations.

• Why shortlist it: a plug-and-play SME version of Tribepad's enterprise recruitment platform, plus a fully configurable enterprise tier with CRM-style candidate relationship features.
• Check before buying: confirm what the £2,000 setup fee covers, ask whether the SME tier caps active jobs or users, and get the bespoke quote in writing before committing to an annual term.

2. WizeHire: for US small businesses that want built-in recruiting coaching

WizeHire, founded in 2014, prices Quickstart at $249 per month billed monthly for up to 3 active job postings and access to its Scout AI recruiting assistant. Essentials starts at $209 per month billed annually with a career-page builder and payroll integrations. Growth starts at $449 per month billed annually for businesses with 50 or more employees, adding candidate texting and dedicated support. Concierge is custom-priced for complex hiring needs.

• Why shortlist it: job-template library, DISC-style candidate assessments, and a recruiting coach bundled into paid plans, which suits owners who want guidance alongside software.
• Check before buying: confirm whether coaching and the Scout AI assistant are included at your tier, and price out any location add-ons if you hire across multiple sites.

3. AvaHR (formerly VIVAHR): for SMBs that want a low entry price with room to add AI

VIVAHR has rebranded to AvaHR; visiting vivahr.com now redirects to avahr.com. Its current plans, billed monthly, are Lite at $99/month (3 live job postings, 1 user), Plus at $165/month (50 live job postings, 5 users), Premium at $332/month (unlimited job postings, AI job and candidate scoring, AI job description generator), and Max at $457+/month (unlimited users and locations, eSignatures, text messaging). Annual billing saves up to 17%, and AvaHR offers a 7-day free trial.

• Why shortlist it: a genuinely low entry price for occasional hiring, with AI scoring and an AI job description generator available once you move to Premium.
• Check before buying: confirm the rebrand does not affect your existing VIVAHR contract terms, and check which plan includes AI features since Lite and Plus do not.

4. Recooty: for lean teams that want AI credits and job-board reach at a low price

Recooty, founded in 2018 and based in Wilmington, Delaware, now prices in euros: Starter at €79/month billed annually (5 active job posts, 2,000 AI credits/month, careers-page builder), Standard at €149/month billed annually (unlimited active job posts, 5,000 AI credits/month, customizable pipeline), and Premier at a custom quote for enterprises and recruiting agencies. All plans include a 15-day free trial with no credit card required.

• Why shortlist it: AI resume parsing, AI top matches, and an AI job-description generator are included from the Starter tier, along with posting to 200+ job boards.
• Check before buying: confirm the euro price against your local currency and billing preference, since monthly billing costs more than the advertised annual rate.

5. CareerPlug: for franchise networks and multi-location SMBs

CareerPlug, founded in 2007, no longer publishes a numeric pricing page; its site routes prospects to a demo request instead. CareerPlug is trusted by 400+ franchise brands and focuses on hiring, onboarding, and retention workflows for multi-location employers. Because pricing is quote-based, we are not publishing a dollar figure here; request a quote directly for your location count.

• Why shortlist it: deep franchise and multi-location support, plus onboarding and retention tools beyond a typical ATS.
• Check before buying: ask how pricing scales per location and whether franchise-network pricing differs from a single-location quote.

6. Softgarden: for European mid-market teams that want a full talent acquisition suite

Softgarden, founded in 2001 and based in Germany, prices its Core plan starting at €199 per month, with individually tailored quotes for larger requirements. Softgarden positions itself as a Talent Acquisition Suite covering job distribution, applicant management, and recruitment marketing, and offers a 14-day free trial.

• Why shortlist it: a mature European ATS with strong DACH-region job-board coverage and recruitment marketing tools.
• Check before buying: confirm which modules are included at €199/month versus which require a custom quote.

7. Cezanne Recruitment (formerly Occupop): for mid-market teams that want recruiting bundled with HR and payroll

Cezanne HR acquired the Dublin-based ATS Occupop in March 2025, and the product is now marketed as Cezanne Recruitment. Cezanne HR's pricing is a custom monthly subscription based on modules and average headcount, aimed primarily at organizations with roughly 100 to 3,000 employees rather than the smallest small businesses. There is no public numeric pricing page; you request a quote directly.

• Why shortlist it: recruiting sits alongside core HR, payroll, absence, and performance modules in one subscription if you want a combined HR and hiring system.
• Check before buying: confirm the quote covers recruiting specifically, since Cezanne's broader HR platform now targets larger organizations than Occupop originally served.

When staying with GoHire can make sense

A switch is not automatically the right answer. GoHire may remain a strong fit if you already rely on its 25+ integrated job boards, its unlimited-users model across every plan, or its early-stage discount program, and your active-job volume comfortably fits the Starter or Growth tier.

Before moving, compare the cost of migration, retraining, integrations, historical reports, and candidate communication continuity against the measurable benefit you expect from a new system. Ask both vendors to demonstrate the same job, workflow, and export scenario.

100Hires: a disclosed option for SMBs comparing public pricing and AI-supported workflows

100Hires is worth comparing when your team wants public pricing and AI built into day-to-day ATS work rather than a separate upsell. Current features include AI Score candidate ranking on a 0-100 scale, AI Copilot for drafting job descriptions and candidate messages, sourcing and Contact Finder for building pipelines beyond inbound applicants, nurture campaigns for re-engaging past candidates, workflow automations, interview scheduling, and reporting.

Plans start at $49 per month (Start, billed annually). A 14-day trial is available with no credit card required; 100Hires does not offer a free-forever plan. For a direct two-product view, read 100Hires vs GoHire. If you already intend to move, the guide on migrating from GoHire to 100Hires covers export, test import, field mapping, and validation.

What to verify before migrating from GoHire

1. Export scope: candidates, applications, resumes, job posts, screening question responses, notes, and stage history.
2. Field mapping: decide which GoHire fields become candidate fields, application fields, tags, or stages in the destination ATS.
3. Job-board reconnection: plan how each job board integration gets reconnected so postings do not go dark during the switch.
4. AI Candidate Matching history: confirm whether existing candidate scores transfer or need to be regenerated in the new system.
5. Test import: import a small sample first and reconcile record counts, resumes, and searchability before a full migration.
6. Acceptance criteria: assign an owner to approve data quality before the GoHire account is retired.

GoHire alternatives FAQ

What does GoHire cost in 2026?

GoHire's official pricing page lists Starter from £89/month ($99/month), Growth from £149/month ($199/month), and Pro from £249/month ($299/month), all with unlimited users and annual billing that saves two months. 100Hires publishes its own pricing at $49/month (Start, annual) for comparison.

Is VIVAHR the same company as AvaHR?

Yes. VIVAHR rebranded to AvaHR, and vivahr.com now redirects to avahr.com. If you are comparing GoHire against what used to be called VIVAHR, check current pricing and features under the AvaHR name. 100Hires does not require a rebrand disclaimer since its pricing and name have stayed the same.

What happened to Occupop?

Cezanne HR acquired Occupop in March 2025 and now markets it as Cezanne Recruitment, bundled with Cezanne's HR and payroll platform. Pricing moved to a custom quote aimed at roughly 100 to 3,000 employee organizations, which is larger than the small-business range GoHire and 100Hires typically serve.

Which GoHire alternatives publish AI features?

GoHire, AvaHR, Recooty, WizeHire, and 100Hires all document specific AI capabilities on their pricing or product pages, though the plan required to unlock AI varies. 100Hires includes AI Score candidate ranking and AI Copilot; confirm which tier includes AI on any vendor before you buy.

Which GoHire alternatives publish numeric pricing?

GoHire, Tribepad (SME tier), WizeHire, AvaHR, Recooty, Softgarden, and 100Hires publish at least a starting numeric price. CareerPlug and Cezanne Recruitment (formerly Occupop) use custom quotes with no public pricing page as of this check. Always confirm the current total on the vendor's own site.

Can GoHire data be migrated to another ATS?

Migration feasibility depends on the export GoHire provides and the fields the destination ATS accepts. Request a sample export, then test candidates, applications, resumes, job links, and screening question responses before approving a full migration to 100Hires or any other alternative.

How should I compare ATS pricing across these alternatives?

Compare the annual total for your actual active-job volume, seats, AI usage, job-board reach, and support, not just the lowest advertised monthly number. A published starting price and a custom quote are not directly comparable until both cover the same scope. 100Hires publishes pricing by employee band so you can estimate your total before talking to sales.
