Workable

SMB ATS at $99-$599/month with built-in job board posting.

By Workable Software Limited · Founded 2012 · Athens, Greece (engineering); Boston, MA (commercial) · private

Workable is the strongest SMB ATS at the $99-$599/month tier. The product's strengths: subscription pricing (no per-seat scaling), built-in job board posting (200+ boards), AI-powered sourcing, and a clean modern UX. Best fit for SMBs (10-200 employees) hiring 5-50 roles per year. Trade-offs: feature depth limited vs Greenhouse, Support depends on tier, and pricing has crept up over 2024-2025.
