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
