Value for money
CFoundations is $270 a month on yearly billing for up to 10 employees ($300 monthly), so that's a ten-person company's bill. It buys tracking, sourcing, a CRM, scheduling and analytics. That's high for this category, and 11 to 25 people pay $400 a month, billed monthly.
CNo price is published: Pinpoint gives one after a call about your company and how you hire, so we can't say what a ten-person company pays. With no figure to compare, it's a C.
