  • JazzHR : SMB ATS if you need workflows beyond a careers site. From $1,000/yr

Why people look past NinjaGig

This is a lightweight application tracker, not a recruiting CRM with pipelines and reporting.

What we noted

  • Lightweight tracker, not a full CRM
  • Few third-party reviews
  • Zapier is the named connection path

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need a full recruiting CRM
  • Enterprises that need SSO, API docs, and approvals

Worth keeping in mind: One flat $49 fee posts to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Monster, and other boards, with unlimited users.

What each one does differently

Breezy HR

$157/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: Visual ATS if you outgrow a $49 application tracker.

Stands out: A kanban pipeline plus a sourcing extension, built for small hiring teams.

Watch out: No MCP, and it is not built for enterprise hiring processes.

Best for

  • Small hiring teams that want a visual pipeline
  • A first ATS after a spreadsheet
  • Desks that source in the browser

JazzHR

$1,000/yr API

Why it comes up: SMB ATS if you need workflows beyond a careers site.

Stands out: Simple job posting, scorecards and self-scheduling for small hiring teams.

Watch out: Billed annually rather than monthly, and job posting volume is capped on the entry plan.

Best for

  • Small businesses buying a first ATS
  • Teams that need scorecards without enterprise process
  • Hiring managers who want self-scheduling links

Workable

$299/mo 15 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Broader hiring suite if job-board push is not enough.

Stands out: A hosted MCP at mcp.workable.com, with sourcing and assessments inside the ATS.

Watch out: Texting and video interviews are add-ons on the entry plan rather than included.

Best for

  • Mid-market in-house talent teams
  • Teams that want sourcing inside the ATS
  • Desks connecting Claude or ChatGPT via MCP

HiringThing

$80/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Simple ATS if you want another small-business option.

Stands out: An API-first small-business tracker that now lets AI agents work jobs and applicants through a hosted MCP server, using the same API key and secret you already have.

Watch out: MCP access needs the Pro plan or a partner account, signs in with an API key and secret rather than OAuth, and the tracker itself is not built for large requisition-heavy teams.

Best for

  • Small HR teams that want an API and AI agent access
  • HR platforms, PEOs and SaaS companies reselling hiring under their own brand
  • Small businesses posting a few roles at a time
