The questions that make the comparison useful

Compare the pricing unit, not just the headline price
Ashby publishes a Foundations plan priced by employee count, while Treegarden's ATS plans are priced by active jobs. Those starting prices are not like-for-like, so model the cost against the workforce and hiring activity you'll actually have.
Choose the recruiting depth you will actually use
Ashby publishes sourcing, recruiting-operations and integration capabilities that may matter to an integration-heavy team. Treegarden is worth evaluating when a clear ATS workflow, unlimited user accounts and published active-job pricing are the priority.
Decide whether HR belongs in this purchase
If post-hire workflows matter, assess them explicitly. Treegarden offers an optional HR module alongside its ATS. Ask each vendor how employee data, onboarding and HR workflows fit your existing systems before you buy.

Worked example

A 25-person US company with 8-10 open roles

Assume two recruiters and four hiring managers. The 8-10 roles are open at the same time, not annual hires or jobs created over the life of the account. Under Treegarden's published annual-commitment pricing, Startup ATS covers up to 10 active jobs at $299 per month equivalent; user accounts do not change that ATS price. Adding the separately priced HR Startup module for 25 employees makes the published ATS + HR equivalent $598 per month. Ashby's Foundations selector depends on the company-size band and payment term: request the current price for 25 employees and confirm what its recruiting package includes. An HRIS or other post-hire system should be priced separately if required. These are not identical product bundles, and a displayed $400 price is not a universal rate for every sub-100-person company.

Decision guide

Where each option fits

Treegarden: active-job pricing
Treegarden publishes ATS plans from $299, $499 or $899 per month equivalent. ATS pricing is tied to active jobs and includes unlimited user accounts. HR is a separate module, so you can price the workflow you need today.
Ashby: sourcing and recruiting operations
Ashby may be stronger when outbound sourcing, configurable operations, analytics and a broad integration marketplace are requirements. Ask for a 25-employee quote and demonstrate the exact workflows; Treegarden may be less suitable if those specialized capabilities are essential.
Treegarden: optional HR in the same platform
Treegarden may suit a team that wants ATS now and HR workflows in the same product later. The HR module is separately priced; compare it with your existing HRIS rather than assuming it is included in the ATS fee.

If a team needs advanced sourcing and recruiting analytics, Ashby's additional scope may justify its cost. If those tools would go unused and concurrent job count is predictable, Treegarden's published ATS capacity may be easier to budget. Neither is a good fit until required integrations, hiring-manager permissions and post-hire ownership are verified.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Start with the hiring model you need. Ashby's public product material emphasizes recruiting operations, sourcing, analytics and integrations. Treegarden offers ATS plans priced by active jobs with unlimited user accounts, plus a separately priced HR module. Because the entry offers use different units, compare expected employee count, active jobs, required integrations and rollout scope before deciding.
Consider Treegarden if you value published ATS pricing based on active jobs, unlimited user accounts and the option to keep recruiting and HR in one platform. The HR module is a separate product decision, so evaluate its scope and price alongside the ATS rather than assuming it is bundled.
No. Treegarden offers ATS and HR as separate modules. The ATS Startup plan is listed from $299 per month equivalent under an annual commitment. Review the current HR plans and decide whether the post-hire workflows are needed for your team.
Ashby's Foundations price changes with the selected company-size band and payment term; the displayed $400 figure is not a price for every company under 100 employees. Treegarden lists Startup ATS at $299 per month equivalent for up to 10 active jobs under an annual commitment. Compare the same workforce, recruiting scope and term.
A migration plan should be scoped during a demo. The right plan depends on the data you export, historical records to retain, required integrations and how you want to stage a rollout. Confirm the fields, workflows, responsibilities and timing before committing to either platform.
