Hellora vs Teamable

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

  • TA leaders replacing spreadsheet referral tracking with text-to-refer
  • Program owners who will send department- and location-targeted SMS campaigns
  • Orgs that want automatic status texts at applied, interviewed, hired, and paid

Teamable

Where they pull apart

Hellora

Stands out: Fairview moved referrals from 6% to 41% of hires and sourced 589 nursing hires with 92% retention. Eve is an AI assistant that captures referrals made on applications and matches messy names.

Watch out: The product is built for frontline healthcare, senior living, and similar hourly workforces. A general corporate referral intranet is a different buy. SMS short-code programs need employee-comms consent.

Not the right fit for

  • Tech companies whose employees will use a desktop portal and LinkedIn Auto Share
  • Staffing firms that need a Bullhorn talent-referral network product

Teamable

Stands out: Referral software that actually reads employee networks and suggests matches, not a static 'forward this job' form.

Watch out: Quote-only. LinkedIn network mapping will be a legal and comms review. This is not a $99/mo widget.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a simple referral form
  • Teams that will not connect LinkedIn
  • Buyers who need a public price

Pros and cons

Hellora

  • Text-to-refer with no app or login, built for healthcare frontline
  • Published case studies with 6% to 41% referral-hire share at Fairview
  • Eve AI captures off-platform referrals and messy name matches
  • Quoted only. Healthcare-weighted, not a general corporate portal
  • SMS-first. Weak fit if the workforce will not use text short codes
  • Homepage also sells a healthcare recruiting CRM, so scope the referral module in the quote

Teamable

  • Network mapping rather than a dead referral inbox
  • Match suggestions from employee LinkedIn graphs
  • Aimed at programmes that already failed once
  • Quote-only
  • No published integrations list
  • LinkedIn access is a political sale
