Where they pull apart

ApplicantStack

Stands out: A published sub-$30 paid start for small HR teams.

Watch out: Starter is capped at one active job, and there is no API or MCP.

Not the right fit for

Agencies
Teams that need MCP or an API

Jobsoid

Stands out: Beginner is free forever for 1 job posting and 1 user with unlimited candidates and mobile apps. Lite unlocks 3 jobs and unlimited users at $49/mo annual.

Watch out: Pricing scales on active job postings, not seats. Standard ($99/mo annual) is where video screening starts. Pro is $249/mo annual for 50 jobs.

High-volume teams that will hit the 50-job Pro cap and need a custom quote
Enterprises that need a Greenhouse-class ATS and SSO on the entry plan
