Recruitee's public pricing information is useful for understanding capacity and buying mechanics, but it does not provide a public dollar or euro price list. That makes the written proposal, rather than an estimated monthly figure, the right source for a buying decision.
Recruitee says its subscriptions are tiered by the selected plan, the number of employees at the organization, and the billing period. Active-job capacity is a plan attribute, not the only price input. Small teams should therefore check their expected hiring volume and employee count together.
This guide uses Recruitee's current pricing page and pricing-migration FAQ only. It explains the facts Recruitee publishes, the questions to take into a demo, and how those facts compare with Treegarden's active-job-capacity model.
How Recruitee Pricing Scales for a Small Team
Recruitee's pricing page lists Start, Advance, and Optimize. The public capacity distinction is clear: Start supports up to five active job posts, while Advance supports unlimited job posts. Recruitee does not publish a current list price for either plan.
That means a buyer should not use a historical euro estimate to decide whether a plan fits. Instead, confirm the peak number of concurrent roles, the employee count used for pricing, the selected plan, the billing period, and the total commitment in the written quote.
Recruitee Plans: What Is Publicly Confirmed
Recruitee's pricing page, rechecked August 27, 2026, lists Start, Advance, and Optimize but does not show dollar or euro list prices. Its pricing information states that the quote is tiered by plan, employee count, and billing period.
Start
Start supports up to five active job posts. Ask Recruitee to state the current feature scope, employee band, annual total, payment schedule, and any services included in the quote.
Advance
Advance supports unlimited job posts. Confirm the feature scope and price for your employee count in writing; the public page does not publish the rate.
Optimize
Optimize is the third plan shown on Recruitee's public pricing page. Request the current plan scope, price, and implementation or support details directly from Recruitee rather than relying on legacy plan names or historic estimates.
Recruitee's pricing information describes annual commitments with monthly payment available. Treat the order form as the source for the payment schedule, annual total, renewal terms, and any change that could affect the quoted price.
What to Verify in the Selected Plan
Feature scope is part of the quote, not something this guide should infer from a legacy plan name. Ask Recruitee for the current feature list for the plan it proposes, then compare that list with the workflow your hiring team needs.
| Buyer factor | What Recruitee publishes | What to confirm in the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Plan capacity | Start: up to 5 active job posts. Advance: unlimited job posts. | The plan needed for peak concurrent roles and how capacity is measured. |
| Price inputs | Plan, number of employees, and billing period. | The employee count used, annual total, and payment schedule. |
| Billing | Annual commitment with monthly payment available. | Commitment length, renewal terms, and all scheduled payments. |
| Individual add-ons | Recruitee's pricing-migration FAQ says individual feature add-ons are generally not offered except SSO, Texting, and Onboarding. | Whether any of those add-ons apply, their price, and the feature scope of the selected plan. |
Questions to Ask Before a Recruitee Demo
These questions are more useful than an estimated plan price because they apply to the exact proposal Recruitee will make to your company:
- What is our peak number of active, concurrent roles over the next 12 months?
- Which employee count will Recruitee use for the quote, and how is that count reviewed?
- Which plan and features are included, and which optional SSO, Texting, or Onboarding services are priced separately?
- What are the commitment length, annual total, payment schedule, renewal terms, and data-export options?
- Does the proposed plan cover the career-site, reporting, workflow, integration, and implementation requirements of the hiring team?
Recruitee may be a good fit when Start's five-post capacity or Advance's unlimited-post capacity matches the hiring model. The decision should be made from the written feature and pricing scope, not from an estimated historic rate.
How Recruitee Compares to Alternatives
There is no one universal pricing model. A comparison should match the mechanisms that matter to a particular hiring team. Treegarden has a commercial interest in this comparison, so the facts below are limited to Recruitee's public documentation and Treegarden's current pricing page.
| Pricing-model factor | Recruitee | Treegarden ATS |
|---|---|---|
| Public price visibility | Plan names and capacity are public; price is quote-led. | Startup is $299/month equivalent under annual commitment. |
| Active-job capacity | Start supports up to 5 active job posts; Advance supports unlimited job posts. | Startup supports up to 10 active jobs; Growth up to 25; Scale up to 50. |
| Price inputs | Plan, employee count, and billing period. | Active-job capacity; user accounts do not change ATS price. |
| Core ATS scope | Confirm the current plan feature list in the quote. | Core ATS features and unlimited user accounts in every ATS tier. |
| Additional scope | Confirm whether SSO, Texting, or Onboarding is applicable and separately priced. | HR is optional and separately employee-based. |
Which model can fit a small team?
Recruitee can be a fit when the team is comfortable with quote-led pricing and the Start or Advance capacity matches its hiring plan. Treegarden can be a fit when the team wants public ATS pricing tied to peak active-job capacity, without a per-user ATS charge. In either case, compare the exact plan scope, capacity, implementation needs, and contract terms before deciding.

Book a demoHow to Evaluate a Recruitee Quote
Use a written quote to compare Recruitee against another ATS. Recruitee's public information establishes the plan names and capacity, while the proposal needs to establish the price and contract details for your organization.
- Record your peak concurrent active roles, not only today's open roles.
- Confirm the employee count used for the quote and the selected plan's capacity.
- Ask for the complete included-feature list and the price of any applicable SSO, Texting, or Onboarding add-on.
- Compare the annual total, payment schedule, renewal terms, implementation scope, and data-export options.
- Use the same inputs when comparing a different ATS so the decision is based on equivalent scope.
