How much does Ashby cost per month?

Ashby publishes Foundations at $400 per month for teams up to 100 employees. Plus, Enterprise, and add-on modules (Analytics, Advanced Scheduling, AI Notetaker) are sales-only. Real-world average SMB contract sits around $14,656 per year per Vendr data. The most-cited renewal surprise is the elevated-seat tier at $800 per year per admin or hiring manager. 100Hires Starter is $99 per month with public pricing and no per-seat surcharge.

Will 100Hires help me migrate my Ashby data?

Yes - 100Hires runs a hands-on migration program for teams switching from another ATS, and we are extending that program to Ashby customers. An onboarding specialist runs the kickoff call, walks you through what Ashby exposes for export, helps you validate a sample, and confirms the cutover plan together. This is guided self-service rather than a black-box automation - you stay in control of the data, the specialist brings the playbook.

How long does the migration take?

Timeline depends on workspace size, the integrations you have on Ashby, and your renewal date. The 100Hires specialist quotes a realistic timeline on the kickoff call after scoping your account. We always recommend a sample-validation step and a parallel-run window before cutover, so the project is structured around catching problems before your team starts working in 100Hires rather than racing to a date.

When should I start the migration relative to my Ashby renewal date?

100Hires recommends booking the kickoff call at least 60 days before your Ashby renewal so the specialist can scope, validate a sample, and confirm cutover before you have to renew. Tighter windows are possible but increase the risk of paying one more Ashby cycle. The kickoff call is free - book it the day you start evaluating.

Do I need to involve my IT, legal, or security team?

Yes for any move between SaaS ATS platforms. 100Hires shares the security documentation your team needs at the kickoff call - DPA, security questionnaire, sub-processor list, and current compliance status. The 100Hires specialist also helps you read your Ashby contract before the cancellation conversation so legal and procurement can plan timing.

What should I export from Ashby before I cancel?

Before any cancellation, the 100Hires specialist helps you confirm the Ashby data you depend on has landed in 100Hires - candidate records, application history, attachments, notes, and the custom fields you rely on. The sample-validation pass shows exactly what came over so you can spot gaps before cutover. Cancellation only happens after you have signed off on the destination, never before.

What happens to my open requisitions during the switch?

100Hires recommends a parallel-run period - your Ashby workspace stays open while imported data lands in 100Hires, then you cut over a few requisitions at a time so candidates always have one system to check. The 100Hires specialist helps you sequence which requisitions move first based on close dates and interview activity.

What about my Ashby Public API integrations or custom workflows?

The kickoff call covers your full Ashby integration and webhook list before the migration starts. 100Hires has its own public API plus an MCP server, included on every plan starting at the $99-per-month Starter. The 100Hires specialist helps you map any Ashby-side integrations onto the 100Hires equivalent or a webhook bridge. 100Hires has native Microsoft 365 (calendar, email, Teams), Zapier, and 13+ job boards including Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, Jooble, Adzuna, and Talent.com - more on the integration mix on /post-to-job-boards.html. We do not have a native Workday integration today - if Workday-to-ATS sync is in your stack, the specialist scopes a webhook or middleware bridge instead.

How is 100Hires AI different from Ashby AI?

Two practical differences worth knowing for an Ashby evaluator. First: pricing model. Ashby gates most AI features behind Plus or paid add-ons (Advanced Scheduling, Analytics); 100Hires Starter at $99 a month includes AI Score, AI Copilot, AI Email Composer, AI JD Generator, semantic candidate search, and AI debrief summaries with no add-on negotiation. Second: scoring depth. Ashby returns match or no-match per criterion - no numeric score, no sortable inbox. 100Hires gives a single 0-to-100 AI Score on every candidate plus per-criteria scores (each 0-100) plus an AI summary plus the reasoning under More details, so a recruiter sorts the inbox once and reads the top profiles. The 100Hires score also runs on candidates sourced via Chrome extension or imported by CSV - not just inbound applications - and is exposed as a bulk action so you can re-score a saved cohort when you change the prompt.

Migrate from Ashby to 100Hires - hands-on switch with no buyout fees

Ashby is good software. Many recruiters who use it call it the best ATS they have worked with - the analytics depth, the all-in-one feel, the polish. The reason teams come looking for an alternative is rarely the product itself. It is the renewal email.

Foundations starts at $400 a month and tops out at 100 employees. The next tier requires a sales conversation.

The elevated-seat line on the renewal quote often surprises a hiring lead in the second year - $800 per year per admin or hiring manager, and the default model treats every employee with hiring access as elevated.

A 30-person hiring team costs you $24,000 a year just for the seats, before AI add-ons.

This page is for the recruiter who saw that quote and started shopping. An onboarding specialist works the migration with you - on the call, not over email - with no buyout fees on our side and no migration invoice.

100Hires vs Ashby: the side-by-side comparison

Public pricing, no per-seat tax, no add-on negotiations

Ashby publishes one tier on its pricing page - Foundations at $400 a month, capped at 100 employees. Plus and Enterprise require a sales conversation. AI Notetaker, Advanced Scheduling, and Analytics are priced add-ons gated to higher tiers.

The fast-growing customer who started Foundations at $400 a month commonly hits a renewal quote with the elevated-seat tier where every hiring manager counts as elevated and the per-seat math overtakes the base subscription.

100Hires shows every plan and price on our public pricing page. Hiring managers join your account at no per-seat surcharge.

The AI features that matter most in day-to-day recruiting (AI Score, AI Copilot, AI Email Composer, AI JD Generator) are included in the $99-per-month Starter plan, not gated to a higher tier.

For a deeper look at the AI side, see our AI Recruiter page. Job-board distribution depth is covered on our Post to Job Boards page.

The 14-day free trial does not require a credit card or a sales call. You see the price before you book the demo, and you book the demo because you want one - not because you need a quote.

AI features that matter, included on every plan

Ashby gates most AI features behind the Plus tier or a paid add-on. A Foundations customer at $400 a month often signs the contract for the ATS, then renegotiates every time a new AI feature lands.

100Hires takes the other side - AI Score, AI Copilot, AI Email Composer, AI JD Generator, and the rest of the day-to-day recruiting AI ship in the Starter plan at $99 a month, with no per-feature add-on or tier upgrade.

What hands-on migration from Ashby actually means

100Hires runs a hands-on migration program for teams switching from another ATS. We are extending that program to Ashby customers.

An onboarding specialist scopes your workspace with you, walks you through what Ashby exposes for export, validates a sample together, and confirms the cutover plan on the call.

This is guided self-service rather than a black-box automation - you stay in control of the data, the specialist brings the playbook. The kickoff call covers your open requisitions, custom fields, integrations, and history.

The specialist walks you through what your Ashby admin export and Public API expose for the data classes you care about - candidates, applications, jobs, custom fields, activity log entries, attachments, scorecards.

You map the fields together, run a sample-validation pass first so you can see exactly what came over, and only then schedule cutover.

There is no migration invoice on our side and no contract buyout fee. Ashby may charge their own off-boarding terms, which are contract-specific.

The 100Hires specialist helps you read your Ashby agreement before the cancellation conversation so the timing of cutover and renewal align.

After cutover the same specialist owns your account through a two-week stabilization window - not an email handoff, the same person on the call.
