Fungsi.id vs HiringCafe

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

Starting price

Fungsi.id

Rp 499,000/post Free tier

A free Indonesian job board that gathers openings from company career pages every day and sends applicants straight to the employer. Worth a look for recruiters hiring in Indonesia; employers pay Rp 499,000 per featured post, with no subscription.

Where Fungsi.id fits

  • Employers and recruiters hiring in Indonesia
  • Job seekers who want career page openings with direct apply links
  • AI users who want Indonesian job data inside their assistant

HiringCafe

Free Free tier

HiringCafe is a free job search engine that indexes 5M+ jobs straight from company career pages rather than selling sponsored placement, and filters out staffing agencies and ghost jobs. Job seekers pay nothing. For recruiters and employers it is a read on who is really hiring and a free way to get a career page indexed, not a paid posting channel.

Where HiringCafe fits

  • Employers wanting their career page jobs found for free
  • Recruiters mapping which companies are hiring now
  • Candidates you coach through a job search

Where they pull apart

Fungsi.id

Stands out: Listings are collected from company career pages each morning and marked closed when they vanish from the employer's site, so seekers do not apply to filled roles. It also runs a free, read only MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can search its Indonesian jobs with no account or API key.

Watch out: The site is in Bahasa Indonesia and covers Indonesia only. Employers get featured job posts but no candidate database or resume search. The Rp 499,000 price is introductory; the normal rate is Rp 799,000.

Not the right fit for

  • Hiring outside Indonesia
  • Recruiters who need to search candidate resumes

HiringCafe

Stands out: Jobs come from employers' own career pages, not paid ads, so the index is far larger than sponsored-only boards and agency reposts are removed. It grew to 2M+ monthly users through Reddit with no marketing spend, raised a $6.8M pre-seed led by Spark Capital in 2026, and launched an AI Talent Agent that matches seekers from a resume.

Watch out: It is built for job seekers first, and the vendor says so. There is no published employer product, job promotion, applicant tracking or candidate database, so you cannot buy reach or search resumes. Agency recruiters' own postings are filtered out of results by design.

Not the right fit for

  • Buying applicant volume or sponsored reach
  • Staffing agencies posting client roles
  • Searching a resume database

Pros and cons

Fungsi.id

  • Free for job seekers, no account needed to search
  • Jobs sourced from company career pages, closed roles flagged

  • Featured price is an introductory rate

  • Jobs pulled from company career pages, agencies filtered out
  • Large live index with pay and experience filters
  • No published employer or recruiter product
  • No applicant tracking or resume search
  • Agency postings excluded from results

What each one costs
