Our verdict

Choose Workable when you want a dedicated ATS with published SMB floors and a trial — not when you need Greenhouse-depth structured hiring, a free ATS, or payroll/HRIS as the primary job. Compare Greenhouse for structured enterprise hiring, Breezy HR for a free Bootstrap ATS, and BambooHR if the real purchase is core HRIS. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • SMB and lower mid-market teams that want a dedicated ATS with published prices
  • Hiring teams that want a 15-day trial before a custom enterprise ATS quote
  • Companies that may use Workable’s light HR features without buying a full HRIS

Not ideal for

  • Structured-hiring enterprises standardised on Greenhouse kits/scorecards
  • Teams that need a free ATS tier (Breezy Bootstrap)
  • Buyers whose primary job is payroll or core HRIS

Bottom line

1–20 employees annual: Standard $299 / Premier $599 / Enterprise $719 per month. 15-day trial. Add-ons on Standard. Headcount bands above 20 are higher / quote. Confirm on workable.com/pricing.
