Where they pull apart

Freshteam

Stands out: Nothing to buy: Freshteam is discontinued and is listed here for existing customers planning a move.

Watch out: Do not sign a new contract. Remaining subscribers should confirm their own end date and export window with Freshworks. Freshworks now markets Freshservice for Business Teams in its place.

Not the right fit for

Any new buyer
Teams that need a supported ATS this year
Anyone expecting a free trial or public price

Recooty

Stands out: No credit card for the 15-day demo, and Starter already includes AI top matches, parsing, and a careers site.

Watch out: Starter is 5 active jobs and 20 employees. Standard is $149/mo yearly. Premier is a quote. API access lives in-app.

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need Premier features without a quote
Teams with more than 5 live jobs on a budget plan
