Which one is for you
Pick Jobsoid if
- Fits if you're a small team or agency with a few open jobs at a time
- Works for one person hiring for a single role, on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you hire for more than one role free: the free plan is 1 job and 1 user
- Pricey if you need video screening, reference checks or scorecards, which start at $99
- Watch out: the resume parser and email inbox are paid add-ons
- Watch out: no refunds for partial use of a subscription, per the pricing page FAQ
- Skip it if you have more than 50 jobs open, as that needs a custom quote
Pick Zoho Recruit if
- Fits if you already run other Zoho apps and want hiring to match
- Works for staffing agencies that need client and vendor portals
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if one recruiter handles more than 10 open jobs on Standard, or more than 1 on the free plan
- Pricey if every manager needs a login, as those licenses come in packs of 10
- Skip it if you want AI matching or automation on the lower plan, as that's Enterprise at $50
- Watch out: video interviews are charged per job opening, and the vendor portal is a paid add-on
- Not for you if you want a desktop app, as it's web and phone only
How we grade them

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.
