Where they pull apart

Boon

Stands out: Referral automation with no-login employee asks: the programme TA actually wants employees to use.

Watch out: Pricing is sales-quoted. Budget from a quote.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs hunting a $99 widget
  • Teams that already get referrals from the ATS
  • Buyers who need a published price today

Teamable

Stands out: Referral software that actually reads employee networks and suggests matches, not a static 'forward this job' form.

Watch out: Quote-only. LinkedIn network mapping will be a legal and comms review. This is not a $99/mo widget.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a simple referral form
  • Teams that will not connect LinkedIn
  • Buyers who need a public price

Pros and cons

Boon

  • Referral automation aimed at adoption, not a dusty form
  • No-login employee experience in the product story
  • Sensible bake-off against Teamable
  • No published pricing, so every budget starts with a sales call
  • Referrals only, not an ATS
  • Value depends on employee participation rates

Teamable

  • Network mapping rather than a dead referral inbox
  • Match suggestions from employee LinkedIn graphs
  • Aimed at programmes that already failed once
  • Quote-only
  • No published integrations list
  • LinkedIn access is a political sale
