Where they pull apart

Homerun

Stands out: Career-site quality at small-business scale, with published euro pricing.

Watch out: Job slots cap how many roles you can run at once, which is usually what pushes teams up a tier.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies
  • Enterprise selections
  • High-volume hourly hiring

JOIN

Stands out: Multi-posting priced by the job rather than by the seat.

Watch out: Per-job pricing gets expensive if you run many roles at once, and there is no MCP.

Not the right fit for

  • US staffing agencies
  • Enterprise HCM selections
