Workable pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

What Workable costs
- 3 jobs, 1 recruiter: $299/mo (Standard, 1-20 employee band: $299/mo = $3,588/yr annual billing / 12. Monthly-billed rate not shown; the page toggle says annual saves 20%, so monthly costs more (about $374/mo if the saving is exact, unverified). No platform, seat or monthly minimum shown.)
- 10 jobs, 3 recruiters: no public price (Not computed: the 100-employee band price is not shown on the official page or PricingSaaS (only the 1-20 band is visible).)
Plan compared: Standard plan, 1-20 employee band, annual-billed rate. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12).

Pricing page: workable.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Official pricing page and PricingSaaS agree on Standard $299/mo ($3,588/yr), Premier $599/mo and Enterprise $719/mo, all on annual billing, with no monthly rate or 100-employee band price shown, so growth is null and small uses the annual rate. Changes come only from PricingSaaS because the WebSearch budget ran out; its five 'Jan 23, 2026' entries for 2024-2025 are omitted because their true dates are unknown, as is the Standard cut from $313 to $299 in 2024Q3.
