Primary sources checkedRecooty
A small-business ATS priced by company headcount rather than by recruiter, with job board syndication and AI credits included per month.
The short answer
- Best for
- A company under twenty people that wants job board posting bundled in
- Not ideal for
- Growing past twenty employees: that alone moves you to the second tier
- Price
- 15-day trial, then USD 79 or 149 a month billed annually (USD 99 or 199 monthly)
- Closest alternative
- JobsoidA free tier to start on and pricing that steps on job count rather than on headcount

Why these assessments
- Recruitment fitStrong
- An applicant tracking system with interview scheduling and calendar sync: the objects are jobs, candidates and stages.
- Ease of useUnknown
- We have not run a vacancy through it and found no independent account of daily use.
- ImplementationUnknown
- A 15-day trial without a card makes trying it easy, which says nothing about configuring workflows and moving existing candidates.
- Price transparencyFair
- Both billing cycles and the job and location limits are published, but the AI credit allowance reads differently between the plan card and the comparison table.
- Value for moneyFair
- USD 79 a month with syndication to a stated 200-plus boards is reasonable, but the employee-count ceiling of twenty on the entry plan is low for the price.
- ScalabilityFair
- The second tier removes the job and location limits entirely and stretches to 250-plus employees, so there is headroom, but only one step of it before Premier is quoted.

The SourcrLab bottom line
A straightforward small-business ATS whose pricing unit is company headcount: Starter at USD 79 a month billed annually covers up to twenty employees, five active jobs and five locations, while Standard at USD 149 removes the job and location limits and stretches to 250-plus employees. Job board syndication and GDPR compliance are included on both. The number to watch is the employee ceiling rather than the job count, because it is the one that moves without you deciding to.
Best fit
A small company buying its first ATS that does not want a separate job board subscription. Syndication to a stated 200-plus boards including Indeed, LinkedIn and Google for Jobs comes with the plan, alongside interview scheduling and calendar sync.
Think twice if
If you expect to grow. The entry plan is capped at twenty employees, not twenty users, so hiring past that number moves you to a tier that costs nearly twice as much regardless of how many vacancies you run.

Why choose Recooty?
Job board syndication is bundled
The vendor states posting to Indeed, LinkedIn, Google for Jobs and 200-plus boards globally. For a first ATS purchase that removes a second subscription and the manual re-posting that goes with it.
The second tier removes the limits rather than raising them
Standard is unlimited on active job posts and job locations. A company that goes from two vacancies to twelve does not renegotiate; it is already covered.
A 15-day trial without a card
Long enough to post a vacancy and see applications arrive, which is the only meaningful test of an ATS before buying.
Main trade-offs
You are priced on headcount, not on hiring
Starter caps at twenty employees. A company that hires five people crosses that line and moves to a plan costing nearly twice as much, even if the number of open roles never changed.
The AI credit figure is not stated consistently
The plan cards and the comparison table give different monthly allowances for the same tiers. Ask for the number in writing if the AI features are part of why you are buying.
Five job locations is a real limit for distributed teams
On the entry plan, and a company hiring across several countries or offices runs into it before it runs into the job count.

- A spreadsheet as the applicant pipeline
May overlap with
- Jobsoid, 100Hires and Breezy HR, which cover the same first-ATS purchase

- The AI credit allowance in writing
- Whether five job locations covers where you hire
Recooty vs alternatives
Products a buyer would genuinely put next to this one, with the reason you would pick each instead.
Choose Jobsoid when you want a free tier to start on and pricing that steps on job count rather than on how many people you employ.
Choose Breezy HR when you want a better-known product with a free tier and per-month pricing for the same small-team job.
Choose Zoho Recruit when price is the deciding factor and you can live with a broader, less focused product.
