Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

FlexJobs

$399/mo

  • Teams that want unlimited posts plus resume search without a per-slot fee

  • Nonprofits and B Corps that can use the 50 percent rebate

Remote OK

$299/post

Remote OK is a pay-per-post remote job board. Posts start from $299 for 30 days, with add-ons for email blasts and pinning, and bundles that cut the per-post price by up to 50%. It fits remote-first companies hiring developers and other remote staff worldwide.

Where they pull apart

FlexJobs

Stands out: Every employer plan includes unlimited job posts and unlimited resume search. The annual $2,999 card also calls out ATS job-feed integrations.

Watch out: Job seekers pay a separate membership. Employers do not get a per-hire or placement guarantee. Social promotion and email blasts are add-ons. 501c3 nonprofits and B Corps can claim a 50 percent rebate.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies posting on-site only roles that FlexJobs will not accept
  • Employers who need a free job post and will not pay $399 for a month

Remote OK

Stands out: Each post is crossposted to 257 job boards that use the Remote OK API and listed on Google for Jobs. Remote OK guarantees 200+ apply clicks or bumps the post again for free. Worldwide posts rank above location-restricted ones, which rewards employers who can hire anywhere.

Watch out: Posts auto-renew at full price after 30 days unless you turn it off, and posts are not refundable. Prices are dynamic, so the final cost with add-ons can land well above $299; the checkout showed $447 with default options. There is no applicant tracking, so applicants go to your own apply URL or email.

Not the right fit for

  • Onsite or hybrid roles
  • Teams wanting built-in applicant tracking
  • Employers who need a free posting option
