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.

Any new buyer

Workable

Stands out: A hosted MCP at mcp.workable.com, with sourcing and assessments inside the ATS.

Watch out: Texting and video interviews are add-ons on the entry plan rather than included.
