Compare/Head to head
Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
Free ATS, paid sourcing Free tier
Genuinely free startup ATS with job distribution and a modern interface. Premium ATS is $199 a month if you outgrow the free tier.
Where Dover fits
$100/mo Free tier
Job board and ATS in one for startups and small businesses: your jobs appear on a map-based job search that job seekers browse by location and commute, and applicants land in a built-in ATS with notes, scorecards and scheduling. Your first job post is free with no expiry. Packages of 20 postings cost $100/mo billed annually ($125 month to month), and the AI tier with Zeus AI scoring, summaries and sourcing is $300/mo billed annually.

Dover
Stands out: A real free tier rather than a countdown trial, with job distribution included.
Watch out: Sourcing is sold separately, and there is no MCP.
Not the right fit for
JobbyRecruit
Stands out: The map is the hook: job seekers see exactly where each job sits and how long the commute would be, which suits local, on-site hiring better than a plain list of jobs. One free job post stays live until you close it, so a small employer can try posting and tracking applicants without paying.
Watch out: It is very new and very small: founded in 2025 with a team of two, and no outside reviews yet. The lower prices need a 12-month contract paid upfront, AI scoring is only on the $300/mo tier, and the Greenhouse, Lever and Workday integrations are named on the pricing page with no detail on how they work.

$100/mo
The Free plan covers a company profile, a listing in company search, one job post on the job search map that stays live until you close it, and Google and Outlook calendar integration. Paid plans are sold in packages of 20 job postings. Basic is $125/mo month to month, or $100/mo on a 12-month contract billed $1,200 upfront, and adds the ATS, AI job descriptions, a careers page, referrals, analytics and Outlook email. Premium is $375/mo month to month, or $300/mo on a 12-month contract billed $3,600 upfront, and adds team management and the Zeus AI features for 20 active roles per package. Month-to-month plans renew every 30 days and can be cancelled before renewal. There is no free trial because the first job post is free with no time limit. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
