What each one does differently

Wellfound

$135/seat/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup tech jobs if remote is only one attribute.

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

Indeed

PPC / subscription Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Broad demand with remote filters.

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

Built In

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Tech brand plus jobs if the company is not remote-only.

Stands out: Employer-brand pages for a tech audience rather than a bare job listing.

Watch out: No published price, and it is weak outside technology hiring.

Best for

Technology companies hiring in specific cities
Employer-brand teams in software
Talent teams that want a tech-specific audience

LinkedIn Recruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Sourced graph if a post is not enough.

Stands out: It is the graph every other sourcing tool enriches from.

Watch out: It is supply, not a system of record, so you still need an ATS.

Best for

Almost every in-house talent team
Agency desks running InMail projects
Sourcers who work the graph daily
