Remotive from $299/mo

The short answer

  • FlexJobs : FlexJobs sells unlimited vetted remote posts on a flat employer subscription, not a $299 per-listing remote tech board. From $399/mo
  • We Work Remotely : WeWorkRemotely is another remote board with per-post pricing, without Remotive's printed $299/$398/$448 ladder and 200-click guarantee. From $299/post
  • Indeed : Indeed is PPC distribution for any location type, not a remote-only $299/mo tech listing. From PPC / subscription
  • ZipRecruiter : ZipRecruiter blasts one US-centric post across many boards, rather than a curated remote tech audience. From $15/mo

Why people look past Remotive

Listings auto-renew every 30 days. This is per job, not unlimited employer seats. Volume bundles for 5-plus jobs are emailed, not printed.

What we noted

  • Per-listing $299/mo, not an unlimited employer seat
  • Auto-renews every 30 days unless you cancel
  • 5-plus job discounts are quote-by-email, not a public pack

Not the right fit for

  • On-site or hybrid roles that are not worldwide remote
  • High-volume employers that need a flat unlimited-post subscription

Worth keeping in mind: Every paid listing is promised 200-plus Apply clicks or a free extra month. Posts syndicate to remotive.com, Slack, the daily digest, social, and Google's job network.

What each one does differently

FlexJobs

$399/mo

Why it comes up: FlexJobs sells unlimited vetted remote posts on a flat employer subscription, not a $299 per-listing remote tech board.

Stands out: Every employer plan includes unlimited job posts and unlimited resume search. The annual $2,999 card also calls out ATS job-feed integrations.

Watch out: Job seekers pay a separate membership. Employers do not get a per-hire or placement guarantee. Social promotion and email blasts are add-ons. 501c3 nonprofits and B Corps can claim a 50 percent rebate.

Best for

  • US employers hiring remote, hybrid, part-time, or flexible roles on a flat $399 month
  • Teams that want unlimited posts plus resume search without a per-slot fee
  • High-volume desks that will pay $2,999/year for ATS feeds from Greenhouse, Workday, or Breezy

Watch out: Priced per post rather than monthly, and there is no resume database.

Indeed

PPC / subscription Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Indeed is PPC distribution for any location type, not a remote-only $299/mo tech listing.

Stands out: The board candidates actually open, with MCP and an API on top.

Watch out: Pay-per-click spend can outrun a small budget quickly, and it is not your ATS.

Best for

  • Almost every employer buying application volume
  • Teams that already live on sponsored jobs
  • Employers who want organic and paid on one board

ZipRecruiter

$15/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: ZipRecruiter blasts one US-centric post across many boards, rather than a curated remote tech audience.

Stands out: Distribution across many boards from a single post, with MCP and an API.

Watch out: It is a supply channel rather than an ATS, and employer pricing scales quickly with job count.

Best for

  • Small businesses that want one post on many boards
  • Teams without a programmatic advertising stack
  • Employers who want AI matching on inbound
