## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Ashby puts tracking, sourcing, a candidate CRM, scheduling and serious hiring analytics in one product at one price, and for small companies that price is published. Up to 10 people pay $270 a month on yearly billing. But there's no trial, and the price climbs once you pass 10 staff.

- **Value for money: C.** Foundations is $270 a month on yearly billing for up to 10 employees ($300 monthly), so that's a ten-person company's bill. It buys tracking, sourcing, a CRM, scheduling and analytics. That's high for this category, and 11 to 25 people pay $400 a month, billed monthly.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on record. Foundations is sold after a demo.
- **Features: B.** Sourcing and outreach sequences, AI application review with fraud checks, booking links and visual scheduling, offers with e-signatures, approval chains and an AI report builder. The whole job in one product.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record, and with this much in one product, there's a fair bit to set up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and a Chrome extension, with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, LinkedIn, Indeed and Workday, plus an MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude. No phone app, only the browser.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Ashby you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. It costs $3,240 a year.

- You could make: Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
