Which one is for you
Pick Welcome to the Jungle if
- Fits if you hire in France, the UK or the US and want your company page seen by candidates
- Works for employers who want a job board and an ATS from the same vendor
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you hire outside France, the UK and the US, because the homepage covers only those
- Not for you if you want a price: the page describes packages and top-ups without amounts
- Watch out: employer branding packages are separate from the job packages
- Tight if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
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 we grade them
| 1.6GPAWelcome to the JungleWeak | 2.2GPAWorkableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. | DStandard is $299 a month on yearly billing for up to 20 employees, so that's what a ten-person company pays. It buys unlimited jobs, sourcing, a careers page and the API.

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.
