Which one is for you
Pick JobScore if
- Fits if you hire for a handful of roles and want a careers site and tracker
- Works for teams that need EEO and OFCCP reporting
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you grow, as the price rises with each open job and 25 or more are quoted
- Watch out: video interviews, texting and assessments are priced add-ons on Start and Scale
- Skip it if you want a trial, as none is shown
- Watch out: the Lite price does not say if it is monthly or annual
Pick Workable if
- Fits if you want one job post sent to 200+ boards at once
- Works for US employers that need EEO and OFCCP reporting
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a small team, as Standard is $299 a month even at ten people
- Tight if you want video interviews or tests on Standard, at $109 and $59 a month extra, plus $89 for texting
- Skip it if you want HR thrown in, as Workable HR is $99 a month on its own
- Watch out: Workable Agent runs on AI credits, 3,000 free and then $600 for 5,000, and the trial leaves it out
- Watch out: Premier and Enterprise are billed annually only, and prices rise with headcount

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.
