Greenhouse report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for structured hiring at growing companies
Greenhouse is the tracker for companies that want every interviewer judging candidates the same way, with interview kits and scorecards on every plan and over 400 integrations. But all three plans are quoted after a demo, and there's no free trial to try first.
Who Greenhouse is for
- Great if you want every interviewer scoring candidates against the same kit
- Handy when you hire across several locations, brands or business units
- Good for larger firms that need audit logs, SSO and fine-grained permissions
Who Greenhouse is not for
- Skip it if you want to try it before sitting through a demo
- Not for you if you're a small company that hires now and then
- Tight if you want texting or the BI connector, which need Plus or Pro
Why Greenhouse gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published: Greenhouse quotes Core, Plus and Pro from your hiring volume, complexity and features after a demo. So we can't say what a ten-person company pays, and with no figure to compare, it's a C.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial on the pricing page. You see it in a demo.
- BFeaturesInterview kits and scorecards, a prospecting plugin and candidate CRM, scheduling that respects working hours, an AI notetaker, resume anonymization and custom reports. The whole job, though texting and sourcing automation need Plus.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record, and structured hiring means building kits and scorecards for each role before you start.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone, Android and a Chrome plugin, connected to over 400 other tools such as Checkr and TestGorilla. No desktop app.

Keep Greenhouse, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Greenhouse 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.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Greenhouse’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
