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
$199/mo 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
$99/mo Free tier
Offerrole is a free applicant tracking system built for teams that care about candidate trust and data compliance: rules-based scoring that shows its reasons, per-field candidate consent and an append-only audit log. The full ATS is free for up to 3 seats, and AI features start at $99 a month. It is very new, so treat it as one to trial rather than one to bet a large team on.

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
Offerrole
Stands out: Few free ATS products put candidate consent and an auditable record first. Scores explain themselves, protected traits are never collected, and every view, export and stage change is logged, which helps teams answering privacy or AI hiring law questions.
Watch out: Offerrole is a young product with no named customers or outside reviews yet, and its API is still in beta. Applications are parsed by rules rather than AI, so screening is less flexible than AI ATS tools, and AI help is capped at 200 actions a month on the $99 Pro plan.
