11 Workable Alternatives to Compare in 2026 | 100Hires

The right Workable alternatives depend on what you want to change: employee-band pricing, a lower entry cost, agency-style CRM workflows, a specialist ATS instead of a recruiting-plus-HR bundle, or a different AI credit model.

Workable remains a broad, well-known platform, so a useful comparison should focus on current, verified product fit rather than outdated complaints.

Disclosure: 100Hires publishes this guide and is included as one of the options. We reviewed official vendor pricing and product pages on July 21, 2026.

Prices can change, so use the linked vendor page to confirm the quote, billing term, employee band, seats, active-job limits, and add-ons that apply to your team. We intentionally do not reuse marketplace star ratings because their scores and review counts change frequently.

What Workable offers today

Workable's current pricing page lists Recruiting Standard, Premier, and Enterprise.

These are Recruiting plans; HR is a separate product, and a Recruiting plus HR bundle is offered separately from around $359 per month on Standard.

For the 1 to 20 employee band, Standard is $299 per month billed annually or $360 month to month, Premier is $599 per month, and Enterprise is $719 per month, both on annual commitments.

Pricing changes by employee band, and add-ons such as texting, video interviews, assessments, and performance and engagement tools carry separate monthly fees.

Workable also sells a metered AI Recruiting Agent on top of the base plans, billed through prepaid AI credit packs.

Its 15-day trial covers Standard recruiting and HR features but does not include the AI Agent. An alternative is worth considering when another product better matches your buying process, team size, or AI pricing model.

What Workable really costs once the add-ons stack

The headline price is the plan only. Every add-on below is a separate monthly fee on top, and most teams want at least two of them.

That is $6,672 a year before AI credits, which are metered separately from $0.095 to $0.12 each. A single high-volume campaign scoring 10,000 candidates adds about $1,000.

The reaction from a small team in an r/recruiting thread on Workable alternatives is representative: "Seems great, but it is triple the price of Offerday's basic ATS plan or what they call a mini-ats."

Reviews are genuinely good, so this is a value question rather than a quality one: 4.4 on G2 across 705 reviews and 4.4 on Capterra across 661, with reviewers praising the interface and job posting while flagging reporting and onboarding as weaker areas.

Company background worth knowing: Workable was founded in 2012 in Athens, Greece and has raised roughly $85 million across seven rounds. It is an independent company, which distinguishes it from Lever, JazzHR and Jobvite, all now owned by Employ Inc.

Workable alternatives at a glance

How we evaluated these alternatives

• Buyer fit: employer recruiting, franchise and multi-location hiring, agency work, or a recruiting-plus-HR bundle.
• Pricing visibility: public numeric pricing, a job-count or job-slot calculator, or a sales quote.
• Plan constraints: active jobs, seats, employee bands, AI credits, and paid add-ons.
• Workflow: sourcing, screening, collaboration, scheduling, and reporting.
• AI scope: what the vendor documents, which plan includes it, and where credits or usage limits apply.
• Recent name changes: several vendors in this space were acquired or rebranded in 2025, which changes what current pricing pages actually show.

Before choosing any ATS, test one real role from application through disposition. Confirm candidate exports, email and calendar behavior, permissions, reports, support coverage, and the total price for your actual team.

A low starting price is not comparable if the plan excludes the job volume, seats, or AI usage you need.

Workable Chrome extension vs 100Hires

Workable's extension combines profile lookup with access to Workable's own candidate data. 100Hires takes a more direct capture approach across a larger named set of external sourcing sites. Source reporting is one of the clearest practical differences.

Workable is a good fit for teams that want its internal candidate search and are already running hiring there. 100Hires is more attractive when recruiters need broader external coverage, duplicate-aware capture, stage selection, and usable source attribution from the start.

Review the 100Hires Chrome extension for recruiters and its supported sites.

The six alternatives most Workable buyers shortlist first

The ten options further down are worth knowing, particularly for niche cases. But most teams comparing Workable end up looking at these six, so start here.

JazzHR, if you want a fixed annual number

Published at $1,000 a year for Hero, $3,480 for Plus and $5,508 for Pro. Cheaper than a loaded Workable plan, with the catch that jobs are metered: Hero starts at three postings a month and Plus allows up to 200 active jobs. Owned by Employ Inc. alongside Lever and Jobvite.

Breezy HR, if your hiring volume is low

The only option here with a genuinely free tier. Paid plans are $157 per month for Startup, $273 for Growth and $439 for Business on annual billing, rising to $189, $329 and $529 monthly. Onboarding and performance modules cost extra, from $41 and $49 per month.

Greenhouse, if you are moving up rather than sideways

Quote-only. Buyers report roughly $6,000 to $12,000 a year under 100 employees, with one 80-person company citing about $12,000 for the top tier at renewal. You are buying structured interviewing, scorecards and reporting depth.

Its common criticisms are support responsiveness and permission rigidity.

Lever, if candidate CRM and nurture matter

Quote-only, with Vendr marketplace data showing a median buyer at $15,400 a year. One team of 330 employees reported moving from Lever to Workable, so traffic runs both directions. Owned by Employ Inc.

Ashby, if reporting is the deciding factor

Published entry pricing at $400 per month with a 10 percent annual discount, and the strongest analytics in this group.

Read the seat definition carefully: a customer reported being charged $800 per elevated seat annually including hiring managers, reaching about $24,000 as they grew.

Pinpoint, if hiring-manager adoption is the problem

Quote-based, with one buyer reporting about $10,000 for up to 250 employees. Consistently praised for interface and hiring-manager experience in mid-market evaluations.

10 more independent Workable alternatives worth knowing

1. Teamtailor: for employer branding and candidate experience

Teamtailor is a Sweden-based ATS built around career-site design and recruitment marketing.

Its pricing page advertises unlimited users and job postings but does not publish a subscription amount; every quote is custom.

See our Teamtailor pricing guide for sourced scenarios and quote questions.

• Why shortlist it: career-site design tools, employer-brand focus, and automation such as triggers and interview kits.
• Check before buying: get a written quote for your exact headcount and confirm what reporting depth and integrations are included at that price.

2. JobScore: for structured ATS workflows priced by job volume

JobScore prices its Start and Scale plans with a job-count calculator on its pricing page, so the monthly total depends on how many open jobs you run.

A Lite plan is available at $69 per month for 2 open jobs, and Enterprise is a custom quote for high-volume recruiting. All plans include unlimited users and candidates, and JobScore offers a 30-day trial.

• Why shortlist it: job-board posting, referral tools, and a recruiting workflow that scales with active job count rather than seats.
• Check before buying: run your actual open-job count through the calculator; Start and Scale totals rise quickly as job count increases.

3. TalentLyft: for recruitment marketing and talent CRM

TalentLyft, based in Croatia, combines ATS and CRM features for sourcing and nurture.

Its pricing page prices Essential and Growth by job-slot count, starting around $100 per month for the entry tier; Enterprise is a custom quote with SSO, custom reporting, and job-board discounts. Annual billing saves about 16.7 percent.

• Why shortlist it: a branded careers page, referral program, workflow automation, and a Chrome sourcing extension.
• Check before buying: confirm the job-slot count you need on the live calculator, since both Essential and Growth reprice as slots increase.

4. GoHire: for small teams prioritizing straightforward hiring

GoHire, based in the United Kingdom, offers Starter (3 active jobs), Growth (10 active jobs, most popular), and Pro (unlimited active jobs) plans.

Its pricing page displays the total in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, INR, or AUD) at checkout rather than a single published number, and it separately advertises a discounted rate for qualifying early-stage startups.

• Why shortlist it: one-click job-board distribution, unlimited users on every plan, and a no-card free trial.
• Check before buying: confirm the price in your billing currency and whether the startup discount applies to your company.

5. Tribepad: for complex and high-volume employers

Tribepad, based in the United Kingdom, targets configurable enterprise recruitment workflows.

Its pricing page lists Tribepad Gro from £579 per month billed annually (or £625 per month billed monthly with an annual commitment), plus a £2,000 setup fee, for businesses up to 750 employees.

Tribepad Pro is an enterprise tier starting from £2,000 per month with a bespoke quote based on modules and integrations.

• Why shortlist it: highly configurable workflows built for large or complex hiring operations.
• Check before buying: confirm which modules the Gro setup fee covers and get a scoped quote for Pro before assuming enterprise cost.

6. WizeHire: for guided US small-business hiring

WizeHire pairs an ATS with hiring coaching and templates.

Its pricing page lists Quickstart at $249 per month (up to 3 active jobs), Essentials from $209 per month billed annually, Growth from $449 per month billed annually and positioned for businesses with 50 or more employees, and a custom-priced Concierge tier.

• Why shortlist it: guided hiring templates, an AI recruiting assistant, and payroll integrations on higher tiers.
• Check before buying: Growth is scoped for 50-plus employee businesses; smaller teams should compare Quickstart and Essentials limits closely.

7. Recooty: for small teams comparing lower-cost ATS options

Recooty, based in Wilmington, Delaware, offers Starter and Standard plans with published pricing plus a custom-quote Premier tier.

Its pricing page lists Starter at $79 per month billed annually ($99 month to month) for up to 20 employees, and Standard at $149 per month billed annually ($199 month to month) with unlimited active jobs. Annual billing saves up to 28 percent.

• Why shortlist it: a low published entry price, AI credits included on every plan, and a 15-day trial.
• Check before buying: confirm the AI credit allowance per month and what moves you from Standard into a custom Premier quote.

8. AvaHR (formerly VIVAHR): for small and midsize US employers

VIVAHR rebranded to AvaHR in 2025. The product and account structure carried over; only the name and site changed.

Its pricing page now lists four tiers, Lite, Plus, Premium, and Max, with monthly prices rendered dynamically on the live page rather than published as static text, plus a 7-day free trial.

• Why shortlist it: culture-focused job distribution, AI job and candidate scoring on Premium and above, and a large integration library.
• Check before buying: confirm the current monthly rate directly on avahr.com/pricing, since it is not shown in a static, linkable form.

9. Cezanne Recruitment (formerly Occupop): for recruitment inside a broader HRIS

Occupop was acquired by Cezanne HR in March 2025 and rebranded as Cezanne Recruitment in July 2025. The recruiting product now sits inside Cezanne's broader HRIS and payroll platform rather than standing alone, and pricing is a custom quote rather than a published number.

• Why shortlist it: recruitment paired with core HR, onboarding, absence, and payroll in one connected suite.
• Check before buying: if you only need standalone ATS features, confirm you are not paying for HRIS modules you will not use.

10. CareerPlug: for multi-location and franchise hiring

CareerPlug, focused on US multi-location and franchise hiring, offers Limited, Hire, and Grow plans on monthly or annual 12-month commitments.

Its subscription help center article confirms these plan names and billing terms but does not publish a dollar figure; CareerPlug's public pricing page no longer lists numeric rates, so a current quote requires contacting sales.

• Why shortlist it: repeatable location-level recruiting workflows and no additional per-user cost.
• Check before buying: request a quote for your exact location and user count, since pricing is not self-serve.

Workable alternatives feature and pricing comparison

This table summarizes vendor-published information checked on July 21, 2026. "Custom quote" means the vendor's pricing page does not display a self-serve dollar figure. "Dynamic" means the number renders on the live page but was not present as static text at the time of review.

When staying with Workable can make sense

A switch is not automatically the right answer. Workable may remain a strong fit when you want unlimited active jobs subject to fair-use limits, a combined recruiting-plus-HR package, or the metered AI Recruiting Agent, and the employee-band price fits your budget.

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, report, 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 instead of a metered add-on.

Current features include job-specific AI Score candidate ranking, AI Copilot, sourcing with Contact Finder for verified email enrichment, nurture campaigns, workflow automation, knockout questions, and job-board posting to boards including Indeed and LinkedIn.

Plans start at $49 per month (Start, billed annually), with Advanced at $199 per month adding unlimited jobs, candidates, and users, and Pro at $399 per month adding sourcing tools and contact enrichment.

A 14-day trial is available without a credit card; 100Hires does not offer a free-forever plan.

Self-service CSV and bulk-resume import cover straightforward moves, and managed migration is included for annual Pro contracts after the export and scope are reviewed.

For a direct two-product view, read 100Hires vs Workable, which compares plan limits, AI credit models, and sourcing workflows in detail. If you already intend to move, the Workable migration guide covers the export options, field mapping, sample-import QA, and cutover steps.

Our verdict

If you are on Standard with no add-ons and the band fits, stay. At $299 a month for unlimited active jobs subject to fair use, Workable is competitively priced and the job-board reach is the best in the category.

If your invoice is past $500 a month because of add-ons, price the bundle against a flat plan. Texting, video and assessments together cost more than several complete ATS subscriptions. That is where the value case breaks, not at the headline price.

If you are shopping because of reporting, go up rather than sideways. Ashby for analytics depth, Greenhouse for structured hiring. Neither is cheaper.

If you hire fewer than about ten people a year, you are over-tooled. Breezy HR's free tier or a plan around $49 to $199 a month covers that volume.

Where 100Hires is the wrong choice

The section above discloses that 100Hires is our product, so here is the other side of it, stated plainly.

• You need Workable's job-board network. Its distribution reach and candidate database are genuine differentiators, and if passive reach through boards is your main channel, that is worth paying for.
• You want recruiting and HR from one vendor. Workable sells a Recruiting plus HR bundle from around $359 per month. We do not do HR, payroll or performance.
• You need native assessments or video interviewing. Workable sells both as add-ons. We integrate rather than provide them.
• You have a recruiting-operations team and an analytics roadmap. Ashby and Greenhouse serve that reader better than either Workable or us.
• You are an agency placing candidates with clients. You need an agency CRM: Loxo, Recruit CRM or Bullhorn.

What to verify before migrating from Workable

1. Export scope: Workable supports a candidate-details CSV export and a support-assisted full export; confirm which one includes resumes and attached files, since the standard CSV does not.
2. Field mapping: decide which values become candidate fields, application fields, tags, stages, or archived notes in the destination ATS.
3. Record relationships: verify candidates linked to multiple jobs and how duplicate profiles are handled.
4. Source history: Workable's Chrome-sourced candidates report as "Unknown" in its own Candidate Sources view, so decide whether that history needs reconstructing.
5. Integration cutover: plan email, calendar, job-board, and assessment connections for the new account before the old one is retired.
6. Test import: import a small sample first and reconcile record counts, attachments, fields, and searchability.
7. Acceptance criteria: assign an owner to approve data quality before the Workable account is canceled.

Workable alternatives FAQ

What are the best Workable alternatives?

The best choice depends on your hiring model. For most teams the real shortlist is JazzHR for a fixed annual number, Breezy HR for low volume, Greenhouse or Ashby if you are moving up, and Pinpoint if hiring-manager adoption is the problem. Beyond those: 100Hires for an ATS-first SMB workflow with AI Score and Contact Finder built in, Teamtailor for employer branding, Tribepad for complex high-volume hiring, and CareerPlug for multi-location teams.

How much does Workable cost?

For the 1 to 20 employee band, Workable lists Recruiting Standard at $299 per month billed annually or $360 month to month. Premier is $599 per month and Enterprise is $719 per month, both on annual commitments, and pricing changes by employee band. 100Hires publishes a simpler flat-rate model starting at $49 per month.

Have any of these Workable alternatives changed their name recently?

Yes. VIVAHR rebranded to AvaHR in 2025, and Occupop was acquired by Cezanne HR and rebranded as Cezanne Recruitment in July 2025. Both changes affect their public pricing pages, which is why this 100Hires guide checks vendor sites directly rather than reusing older figures.

What is the best Workable alternative for a small business?

100Hires, GoHire, Recooty, and WizeHire serve different small-business needs. Compare the paid plan you would actually use, including job, candidate, user, AI, and automation limits. 100Hires publishes its full pricing at $49, $199, and $399 per month with no free-forever plan.

Why do companies switch from Workable?

Decision factors include employee-band pricing, desired HR scope, sourcing workflow, the AI credit model, and support. Workable can remain the better fit when its recruiting-and-HR breadth matters; teams that want a specialist ATS with AI Score and sourcing included, like 100Hires, may prefer a narrower, lower-cost product.

Can I export candidates and resumes from Workable?

Workable supports a candidate-details CSV export and a support-assisted full export for migration. The standard CSV does not include resumes and files, so confirm the export format and map a sample before cutover. 100Hires managed migration is included on annual Pro contracts after source and scope review.

Does 100Hires have an AI feature comparable to Workable's AI Agent?

100Hires includes AI Score for job-specific candidate ranking and an AI Copilot inside its plan credits rather than as a separately metered agent add-on. Compare the monthly AI operations included in each 100Hires plan against Workable's prepaid AI credit packs to see which usage model fits your hiring volume.
