Why people look past Simplicant

All three tiers are contact for pricing, and the way in is a free demo rather than a stated trial. The careers site API, candidate API and single sign-on are held for Enterprise, so they are not available on Standard or Professional.

What we noted

Every tier is contact for pricing
Candidate API and SSO only on Enterprise
Demo-led buying with no stated trial length

Not the right fit for

Teams that buy only from a public price table
Small teams needing the candidate API
Buyers who want a free trial first

Worth keeping in mind: The tier grid is specific: Standard covers job board publishing, a mobile careers site, scoreable forms and Calendly, and Professional adds video interviews, Zoom, requisition approval and referrals. Enterprise adds e-signature and onboarding forms.
