JuggleHire

$79/mo 14 day free trial

Applicant tracking for small businesses such as clinics, care homes, schools and offices, at one flat price per company from $79/mo. It reads resumes into fields with AI and bundles scheduling, video interviews, skills tests and e-signed offers that other ATSs sell as add-ons.

Where they pull apart

JuggleHire

Stands out: The price does not move when you add people: Light covers five team members for $79/mo and Pro covers everyone for $149/mo, while video interviews, skills tests and e-signed offer letters are included on both. The vendor compares that with Workable's $299/mo starting price.

Watch out: It is a one-person company, and the founder listed JuggleHire for sale on TrustMRR in October 2026 to focus on a new venture, so ownership, support and the roadmap could change. The trial needs a credit card, billing is monthly only, and there is no public API.

Not the right fit for

  • Staffing agencies that need client and placement tracking
  • Buyers who need an API or deep HRIS integrations
  • Teams that want a long-established vendor

Zoho Recruit

Stands out: Zoho CRM sync plus a genuine free tier at a low per-user price.

Watch out: Employee licences are sold in separate packs, so the recruiter seat is not the whole bill.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises outside the Zoho estate
