Head to head

Ongig vs Textio

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

Ongig

$4,900/yr

Ongig reviews bias language and hosts a pay-transparency JD library. Lite is $4,900/year for up to 100 jobs and 3 users. Professional starts at $14,900/year with unlimited jobs and AI writing.

  • HR groups that will import jobs one-way from an ATS on Professional
  • Orgs that want a one-time JD Bias Audit from $6,900 before buying the library

Textio

Quote-based

Improves job-post language and flags biased wording before the role goes live.

Where Textio fits

  • Teams writing a lot of job descriptions
  • Programmes that review language before posting
  • Employer-brand teams
  • People teams that want bias flags inside the job description

Where they pull apart

Ongig

Stands out: Lite already scores SEO titles and candidate-friendly readability. Pay-transparency compliance and 1-way ATS/HRIS import wait for Professional.

Watch out: Lite stops at 100 jobs and 3 users. Two-way ATS sync, SSO, and job-language translation sit on Enterprise from $39,900/year.

Not the right fit for

  • Compensation teams that need governed job architecture and leveling, not a language checker
  • Solo recruiters who only need a free gender-decoder and will not pay $4,900/year

Textio

Stands out: It works on who applies in the first place, rather than ranking people afterwards.

Watch out: No published price, and it is not a sourcing or screening tool.

Not the right fit for

  • Sourcing desks looking for a people search tool
  • Buyers who need a published price
