Buyer shortlist
Compare billing rules and product scope
Compare costs against the same employee count, paid users, peak open roles and HR requirements.
| Platform | Pricing and job rule | Product scope | Worth shortlisting when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treegarden | ATS tiers are based on concurrently active jobs; Startup covers up to 10. User accounts do not change the ATS price. Treegarden pricing | ATS first; optional HR module priced separately by employee tier. | You want a published ATS price and several hiring collaborators without per-user ATS charges. Explore the ATS |
| Manatal | Per paid user. Professional lists 15 jobs created per account, which is not the same as 15 concurrently active jobs. Manatal pricing | ATS and recruiting CRM for in-house and agency workflows. | A smaller paid-user team or agency wants sourcing and CRM alongside applicant tracking. Treegarden vs Manatal |
| Ashby | Foundations pricing depends on the selected company-size band; Ashby says size, usage and commitment affect pricing. Ashby pricing | ATS, sourcing, recruiting operations and analytics. | Recruiting operations and analytics need more depth than a simple hiring pipeline. Treegarden vs Ashby |
| BambooHR | Flat plan rate at 25 or fewer employees, then per-employee pricing. Core, Pro and Elite list 5, 25 and 50 job openings respectively. BambooHR pricing | HR platform with applicant tracking included in its plans. | Employee records and HR administration lead the purchase; confirm the plan's recruiting capacity. Treegarden vs BambooHR |
| Workable | Published prices change with employee band. Recruiting plans list unlimited active jobs subject to fair-usage limits; check add-ons and AI credits. Workable pricing | Recruiting and HR capabilities in one platform. | You want to evaluate combined recruiting and HR against an employee-band contract. Treegarden vs Workable |
| Recruitee | Plan, employee count and billing period affect price. Start lists up to 5 job posts; higher plans list unlimited job posts. Recruitee pricing | ATS with career-site and collaboration tools; ask how Tellent HR is contracted. | Employer branding and candidate collaboration matter; verify the job-post rule for your chosen plan. Treegarden vs Recruitee |
| Greenhouse | Core, Plus and Pro are shown publicly, but a current contract price requires a quote. Greenhouse pricing | Structured recruiting, scorecards, sourcing and reporting. | Consistent interviewing, governance and integration depth are central to hiring. Treegarden vs Greenhouse |
| Lever | Custom quote; no public contract total. Ask which capabilities or add-ons are in the offer. Lever pricing | ATS and candidate relationship management. | Active sourcing and long-term candidate nurturing are core workflows. Treegarden vs Lever |
Last verified October 15, 2026. Treegarden sells one of the products compared here. This table summarizes vendors' public pricing and product pages, not hands-on tests of their software. Published terms can change; confirm plan limits and the written quote before buying.
Use one workload for every quote
Example: a US company with 25 employees, two recruiters, four hiring managers and 8 to 10 concurrently open roles. Annual hires, jobs created and paid seats are different measures; do not substitute one for another.
At Treegarden's published annual-commitment rate, Startup ATS covers up to 10 active jobs at $299 per month equivalent ($3,588 per year). If this company also needs HR, the up-to-25-employee HR module is separately priced at $299 per month equivalent, making the two-module starting total $598 per month equivalent ($7,176 per year). Monthly instalments are available. Check current Treegarden pricing.
- Ask each vendor to quote ATS-only and ATS-plus-HR scope separately.
- Confirm whether the limit means open jobs, job posts, jobs created or another measure.
- Specify six hiring collaborators and ask which count as paid users.
- Request first-year and renewal totals, including implementation, integrations, usage credits and required add-ons.
A public starting price is not a like-for-like total. Where a vendor needs a quote or a selected employee band, this guide does not invent one.

ATS comparison FAQ
How should a small US team compare ATS prices?
Use the same employee count, number of paid users, peak concurrently open roles, and required modules for every vendor. Compare the first-year and renewal totals, including implementation and add-ons, rather than comparing starting monthly prices alone.
Does Treegarden include HR in the ATS price?
No. Treegarden's ATS is priced by active-job tier. Its HR module is optional and priced separately by employee tier. User accounts do not change the ATS price.
What should we request for a team with 8 to 10 open roles?
Ask every vendor to price 25 employees, 8 to 10 concurrently open roles, two recruiters and four hiring managers. Request separate ATS-only and ATS-plus-HR totals, the exact job and user entitlements, implementation costs, add-ons and renewal terms.
Can a competitor be a better fit than Treegarden?
Yes. Ashby or Greenhouse may suit teams that need deeper recruiting operations or structured hiring. Manatal may suit a small paid-user team or agency. BambooHR may fit an HR-first purchase, while Workable offers recruiting and HR together. Test the workflows and contract scope that matter to your team.
