Greenhouse pricing: plans, TCO, and costs in 2026 - 100Hires

Greenhouse publishes Core, Plus, and Pro for its recruiting software, but it shows no numeric list price, so every buyer needs a custom quote.

Whether your budget calls it Greenhouse ATS pricing or Greenhouse software pricing, subscription, launch, add-on, and renewal totals only appear in a scoped proposal.

This guide covers public plans, quote inputs, total-cost questions, contract terms, three annual scenarios, and 100Hires public prices. Undisclosed Greenhouse amounts stay unknown.

Greenhouse pricing in 2026 at a glance

Greenhouse uses a sales-led pricing process. A plan name helps define product scope, but the signed Order Form supplies the commercial answer.

Use four evidence labels: current official terms, dated procurement evidence, planning assumptions, and derived 100Hires totals from public prices.

A custom quote does not prove hidden fees. Put the plan, headcount basis, services, add-ons, term, and renewal rules into one cost schedule.

Core, Plus, and Pro show capability tiers, not public prices

The plans range from a recruiting foundation to broader operational and enterprise capabilities. Numeric fees and full entitlements are not public.

Core establishes the recruiting foundation

Core covers the main structured recruiting categories. Its name does not establish unlimited users, jobs, candidates, integrations, API calls, support, or migration.

Attach quantities and service commitments to each function. Core is a capability label, not a small-business price.

Plus expands process and collaboration scope

Plus adds sourcing, communication, internal posting, multi-brand functions, reporting, and BI. Its position reveals no employee band, minimum, bundle price, or percentage increase.

Confirm standard entitlements, usage dependencies, and separate commercial lines.

Pro targets the broadest public package

Pro is the highest public tier and an evaluation point for regional, business-unit, governance, security, audit, or developer needs. That concerns fit, not price.

Put each module, quantity, integration, reporting control, service, and renewal condition in the Order Form.

Company size, hiring volume, complexity, and solutions can change the quote

Greenhouse names plan, hiring volume, organizational complexity, and required capabilities as inputs. Its MSA defaults to employee headcount unless the Order Form states another fee basis.

The form collects country and industry, but no public rule shows that either changes price. Greenhouse publishes no weights for hiring volume or complexity. Treat jobs, candidates, locations, brands, and workflows as planning inputs, not a public formula.

Build one like-for-like quote brief

Send every ATS vendor the same scope so proposals and renewal terms are comparable.

• Workforce and access: employees, recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers, admins, and reporting users
• Recruiting volume: simultaneous jobs, annual hires, candidates, locations, regions, brands, and business units
• Operating scope: workflows, reports, integrations, API use, security review, support, and training
• Commercial scope: migration objects, implementation work, term, payment timing, renewal rule, expansion units, and exit help

If you are still defining the system requirements, use our applicant tracking system guide to separate core recruiting needs from services and adjacent tools.

The real total cost includes launch, ecosystem, renewal, and exit work

Launch work, partner tools, internal labor, system overlap, and exit tasks can affect total cost without being Greenhouse charges.

Implementation, onboarding, and migration need written scope

No standard public implementation or onboarding amount was found. Public rollout guidance confirms the work exists, but gives no universal fee, timeline, migration package, or training entitlement.

Effort can change with workflows, records, attachments, fields, permissions, integration tests, training, acceptance, and cutover. Ask which work is included in the subscription, Professional Services, or an SOW.

Define records to import, error tolerance, test owners, sign-off, and post-launch work. This makes the implementation plan auditable.

Integrations, API work, and add-ons have separate cost owners

Greenhouse describes more than 400 pre-built integrations and an open API. It publishes no standard price for connections, API access, mapping, partners, or buyer engineering.

A large marketplace can reduce custom work, but it does not prove every connection is free or setup-free. Record three cost owners: Greenhouse, the partner, and your technical team.

Apply that split to additional solutions. Plan-level sourcing or CRM functions do not set terms for a separate product.

Internal labor, overlap, and exit belong in the budget

Project ownership, cleanup, reviews, training, adoption, and dual systems use resources. They are buyer costs unless a signed document assigns the work to Greenhouse.

Before signing, define export formats, timing, records, attachments, retention, deletion confirmation, transition help, and charges.

Renewal terms can change the recurring annual cost

The MSA supplies defaults. The Order Form can change services, quantities, fees, billing, or renewal terms, so the signed documents control the obligation.

The Order Form controls the commercial answer

Separate the base subscription, solutions, Professional Services, quantities, one-time work, payment, credits, and taxes. Mark unknown fields custom quote or not publicly shown.

Define which workers count, when headcount is measured, what threshold changes the fee, and how workforce changes affect the next invoice.

Protect the year-two budget

Calendar both notice windows at signature so every reviewer acts before cancellation closes.

Request a renewal cap, protected unit pricing, expansion thresholds, module-removal rights, and in-term change costs. Public terms reserve an increase but give no percentage, so the future total remains a custom quote.

One dated public expenditure is evidence, not a price list

A dated NYC EDC fiscal-year record lists a buyer's $42,970 Greenhouse Software expenditure in Technology - Software. It is not an order form and omits plan, modules, headcount, implementation, term, and renewal, so it is not list pricing, a typical contract, or a scenario input.

Old directories, commercial medians, anonymous reports, and incomplete internal amounts were excluded from current prices. Repeated secondary figures do not become a rate card.

Three annual planning scenarios keep unknown Greenhouse costs visible

These profiles are planning assumptions, not customer averages. Both products receive the same scope. Greenhouse totals stay unknown until an itemized quote arrives.

The 100Hires figures below are calculated from the public pricing configuration recorded for this guide. Each annual total equals the annual-equivalent monthly value multiplied by 12, before tax. Annual billing is prepaid.

Small scenario with 15 employees

The small scenario fits Start's one-user, three-job, and 100-candidate limits. Check its 100 monthly AI credits and workflow scope. Matching the published limits does not establish parity with Greenhouse.

Growing scenario with 75 employees

Start does not fit this scenario. Four stakeholders exceed its one-user limit, eight jobs exceed its three-job limit, and about 1,200 candidates exceed its 100-candidate limit.

Advanced and Pro publish unlimited jobs, candidates, and users. Their annual AI allowances differ, so expected actions and functions still matter.

Larger scenario with 350 employees

Start does not fit 15 stakeholders, 30 simultaneous jobs, or about 6,000 candidates. Advanced and Pro remove the public job, candidate, and user caps, but the public evidence does not prove enterprise feature parity.

Greenhouse may fit when regional governance, business-unit controls, services, security, reporting, developer tools, or integrations drive the choice. Each need requires a written entitlement and price.

The complete public 100Hires price card exposes every budget choice

The table has every public Start, Advanced, and Pro price across six employee bands and three currencies. Each derived annual total is the annual-equivalent monthly price times 12.

Monthly means month-to-month billing. Annual-equivalent monthly is the rate for a prepaid annual contract. Derived annual total means that rate times 12, before tax.

Prices are shown in the currencies used in the public source. No currency conversion has been made. Annual billing is prepaid, and taxes are excluded.

Keep the plan limits beside the prices

• Start: one user, up to three jobs, 100 candidates, and 100 AI credits per month
• Advanced: unlimited jobs, candidates, and users, with 300 AI credits for monthly billing or 1,000 for annual billing
• Pro: unlimited jobs, candidates, and users, with 3,000 AI credits for monthly billing or 5,000 for annual billing
• Pro migration: public annual-contract wording includes free data migration; confirm the exact migration scope before signing
• Trial: 14 days, no card, one job, and up to 10 external candidates per account
• Enterprise: not publicly priced; its employee-band scope and limits are not publicly shown

100Hires has a public API, but that does not establish Greenhouse parity in developer, governance, reporting, integration, or service scope.

100Hires publishes this article. Its public prices aid budgeting but do not prove lower cost than an equivalent Greenhouse contract.

Five, 25, and 100 users are quote questions, not price multipliers

No public Greenhouse per-user rate or seat formula was found. The MSA defaults to employee headcount unless the Order Form states another basis.

Define recruiter, manager, interviewer, admin, reporting-only, and service-account access. Ask if each type affects fees, permissions, training, support, or reports.

Do not multiply a five-user quote to estimate 25 or 100 users. Greenhouse publishes no seat formula; the Order Form may use headcount or another unit.

100Hires makes smaller-team budgeting easier; Greenhouse can suit complex enterprises

100Hires puts the smaller-team budget in public view

100Hires is easier to budget when a smaller team wants employee-band prices before a sales call. Its page shows plan, currency, billing, and limits.

Start has user, job, candidate, and AI-action caps. Enterprise lacks public pricing. 100Hires has not shown parity with every Greenhouse control, service, report, integration, or developer function.

Greenhouse may fit complex enterprise requirements

A quote-led process can fit multi-region governance, implementation services, security review, advanced reporting, developer tools, negotiated services, or broad integrations.

Ask that the Order Form map each need to a plan, entitlement, quantity, service owner, one-time amount, recurring amount, and renewal rule.

Put these questions in the Greenhouse quote request

A useful proposal ties each cost to a quantity, service, entitlement, date, or contract rule. Copy this checklist into your procurement request.

1. What are the annual subscription, pricing unit, counted employees, measurement date, and billing schedule?
2. Which Core, Plus, or Pro capabilities and limits apply?
3. Which jobs, candidates, recruiters, managers, interviewers, admins, and reporting users are covered?
4. Which solutions, add-ons, services, quantities, and dependencies have separate lines?
5. Which implementation, onboarding, configuration, migration, training, testing, and acceptance work is included?
6. Which marketplace, API, partner, mapping, maintenance, or engineering costs sit outside the subscription?
7. Which support targets, security work, and legal review are contractual?
8. When are fees paid, which taxes are excluded, and how are credits or one-time fees handled?
9. Which renewal date, cancellation date, increase cap, expansion unit, and module-removal right applies?
10. Which export formats, help, retention, deletion confirmation, and exit charges apply?

Put every answer in the Order Form, SOW, or contract schedule. Any item affecting launch, use, renewal, or exit belongs in the cost model.
