What each one does differently

Indeed

PPC / subscription Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Mass job board if you need scale more than scorecards.

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

Free trial, then paid plans MCP API

Why it comes up: Paid job distribution if you want inbound at volume.

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

Wellfound

Free + paid seats Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup jobs if the audience is tech candidates.

Stands out: A free job post on a board early-stage candidates actually browse.

Watch out: Weak outside early-stage tech, and the paid tiers are a different product from the free post.

Best for

Startups hiring technical people
Teams that still recruit early-stage on Wellfound
Companies on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable

TestGorilla

$215/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Skills tests if you need assessments, not a board.

Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.

Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.

Best for

Teams that want evidence before a live interview
Organisations on the major applicant trackers
Buyers replacing an enterprise assessment module
