How we grade them
| 2.6GPABreezy HRGood | 1.6GPAHireologyWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStartup is $157 a month on yearly billing ($189 monthly), and since users are unlimited, that's what a ten-person company pays. It buys unlimited jobs, screening questions, stage automations and self-scheduling. That's level with the dearer quarter of this category. | CNo price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free Bootstrap plan gives unlimited users one open job at a time, with a careers site and 50+ job boards. But it only shows candidates added in the last 30 days, which a slow hire will run into. There's a 14-day trial with no card too. | FNo free plan and no trial. Core has Get Started and Perform has Book a Demo. |
| Features | BCareers site, 50+ job boards, screening questions, stage automations and video interviews, then scorecards, reference checks and offers with approvals on higher plans. That's the whole hiring job, though the API and data export sit on a quoted plan. | CMulti-location management, sourcing, scheduling, background checks and offers. The AI features and Enhanced Onboarding are not in Core. |
| Ease of use | B4.6 from 344 App Store ratings. You'll still set up a careers site and your pipeline stages before the first applicant lands. | CNo rating on record. A multi-location setup to configure. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, Google Workspace and Office 365 linked. No desktop app, and API access is only an option on the quoted Custom Pro plan. | CWeb only and only Netchex is listed as a link. The mobile app is named but its platforms are not. |
| Best for | small teams hiring on one flat price | hiring across many locations |

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.
