How we grade them
| 2.2GPABetterteamFair | 2.4GPATellent RecruiteeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$39 a month for 1 active job, $19.50 a month on yearly billing, against a category cheaper quarter that starts at $69. Three jobs is $99, so cost climbs with each opening. | CNo price is published, so we can't say what a ten-person company pays. Tellent quotes from the plan, your headcount and the billing period, contracts run at least a year, and paying yearly takes 20% off. Quote only, which lands it on a C. |
| Free plan and trial | DA 4-day free trial that starts when the first candidate arrives. That is shorter than a week. | CNo free plan, but an 18-day trial of the Advance plan with no card. It caps you at 50 emails and 5 jobs with no free job boards, and it just ends rather than turning into a bill. |
| Features | CJob board posting, a career page designer and an Indeed link. It does the posting job fully, but that is a smaller job than a full applicant tracker. | BA careers site, posting to several boards at once, CV parsing, pipelines with knockout questions, self-scheduling, evaluation forms, AI screening and reports. That's the whole job, though Start allows only 5 active job posts. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You write the job and set up boards and a career page. | CNo App Store rating on record, and you'll build the careers site and your pipelines before it earns its keep. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Indeed and ZipRecruiter links. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with LinkedIn, Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, BambooHR, Zapier and Make linked. No desktop app. |
| Best for | posting one job to many boards | in-house teams with a branded careers site |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
