Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for posting jobs everywhere and sourcing more
Workable sends your jobs to 200+ boards, searches 400M+ profiles for people who never applied, and runs the whole interview process. There's a 15-day trial with no card. But at $299 a month for up to 20 employees, it's the dearest published starting price in this category.
Who Workable is for
- Great if you want one job post sent to every board that matters
- Handy when the best people aren't applying and you need to go and find them
- Good for US employers that need EEO and OFCCP reporting
Who Workable is not for
- 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
- Skip it if you want HR thrown in, as Workable HR is $99 a month on its own
Why Workable gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyStandard 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. That's the top of this category, and texting, video interviews and assessments still cost extra.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 15-day trial with Standard's features and no card. Workable Agent, the AI add-on, is left out of the trial.
- BFeaturesPosting to 200+ boards, a search of 400M+ profiles, interview kits and scorecards, self-scheduled interviews, calendar sync and EEO reporting. The whole hiring job, with an HR product for records and time off if you want it.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. There's a lot here, from sourcing to pipelines and permissions, so expect some setting up.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with LinkedIn, Indeed, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Zoom, Teams and Meet, and the API from Standard up. No desktop app.

Keep Workable, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Workable 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.
It costs $3,588 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking, employee records and time off: 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.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, LinkedIn, Indeed and Gmail among them.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Workable’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.
