Levels.fyi Jobs from $1,000/mo Free tier API

The short answer

Wellfound : Startup-focused job board, better if you want to reach candidates looking specifically at early-stage companies rather than pay benchmarks. From Free + paid seats
Dice : Broad US tech job board and resume database sold in packages, better for high-volume tech hiring beyond senior roles. From Seat + PPC
TrueUp : Tech job marketplace built around warm intros to hiring teams instead of promoted listings on a salary site. From 12%/hire

Why people look past Levels.fyi Jobs

Both paid plans were marked closed beta on the pricing page, so availability may be limited. The audience is tech roles, so it is a poor fit for non-technical or hourly hiring. If your pay is below market, candidates on this site will see that quickly.

What we noted

Paid plans marked closed beta
Paid tiers start at $1k per month
Narrow fit outside tech roles

Not the right fit for

Hourly or non-technical hiring
Employers who prefer not to show pay
Teams needing wide job distribution to other boards

Worth keeping in mind: The audience arrives already comparing compensation, and Levels.fyi says over half of its 1.5 million monthly visitors are senior in their roles. The free tier lets you post jobs and route applicants to your own ATS at no cost. The Premium plan bundles promoted jobs with access to a talent pool where candidates show verified level and expected pay upfront.

What each one does differently

Wellfound

Free + paid seats Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup-focused job board, better if you want to reach candidates looking specifically at early-stage companies rather than pay benchmarks.

Stands out: A free job post on a board early-stage candidates actually browse.

Watch out: Weak outside early-stage tech, and the paid tiers are a different product from the free post.

Best for

Startups hiring technical people
Teams that still recruit early-stage on Wellfound
Companies on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable

4.7 on Capterra from 35 reviews

Dice

Seat + PPC API

Why it comes up: Broad US tech job board and resume database sold in packages, better for high-volume tech hiring beyond senior roles.

Stands out: Tech-only supply, so budget is not spent reaching the wrong candidates.

Watch out: No published price, and no use outside technical hiring.

Best for

Technology recruiting teams
Employers who still search a tech resume database
Teams hiring engineers and IT staff

TrueUp

12%/hire

Why it comes up: Tech job marketplace built around warm intros to hiring teams instead of promoted listings on a salary site.

Stands out: Warm intros only after both sides confirm interest, at 12% instead of a classic 20-35% fee.

Watch out: Only companies already on TrueUp can apply, and they need a Trajectory Score of 60-plus or venture backing.

Best for

Listed tech companies hiring engineers and PMs
Startups that want intros without a 25% agency fee
Teams already on Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever
