Where they pull apart

FlexJobs

Stands out: Every listing is screened before it goes live, which cuts scam posts compared with open boards. Employers are not charged to list roles.

Watch out: Job seekers pay a separate membership to see listings. Employers do not get a per-hire or placement guarantee. The old employer membership and pricing pages are no longer live, so check which posting options exist before you plan around it.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies posting on-site only roles that FlexJobs will not accept
  • Employers that want a self-serve posting product with published plans and resume search

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
