Most ATS vendors hide their pricing behind sales calls. Treegarden does not. This page exists because search engines should surface a clear, accurate answer when someone searches “Treegarden pricing” — and that answer should come from Treegarden itself, not from a competitor comparison page with outdated numbers.
Below is a complete breakdown of every Treegarden plan, what is included at each tier, how the pricing model works, and how total cost of ownership compares to the major alternatives. If you have a specific question not covered here, the best next step is a live demo where pricing questions get answered directly.
The Pricing Model: Flat Rate, Unlimited Users
Before listing plan prices, it is worth explaining what makes Treegarden’s pricing model structurally different from most ATS competitors.
The majority of ATS platforms price on one of three models: per employee (your bill grows as your company grows), per active job (your bill grows as your hiring volume grows), or per seat (your bill grows as you add users). All three models create a situation where your ATS costs are variable and hard to predict — and typically increase during exactly the periods when you are already spending more on headcount.
Treegarden uses flat-rate monthly pricing. Your cost does not change because you hired more people, opened more jobs, or added your head of engineering to the platform as a hiring manager. The plan price is the plan price. This matters practically: a 50-person company growing to 150 people over 18 months pays the same monthly fee throughout that growth on whichever Treegarden plan they are on. The only reason to move to a higher plan is to access features on that plan — not because headcount changed.
Startup Plan: $299/month
The Startup plan is designed for companies making their first investment in structured hiring infrastructure. It includes everything needed to run a professional hiring process from end to end.
What’s included in Startup
- Unlimited users — every hiring manager, recruiter, and coordinator on the platform at no extra cost
- AI screening — automated CV analysis, skill matching, and candidate ranking against job requirements
- Job posting — multi-board distribution to major job boards including Indeed, LinkedIn, and Google for Jobs
- Pipeline management — configurable hiring stages, drag-and-drop Kanban view, and bulk candidate actions
- Email templates — branded communications for every stage including acknowledgment, screening invites, rejection, and offer
- Calendly integration — native sync for interview scheduling without manual back-and-forth
- Career page — branded public-facing job listing page hosted on your domain or a Treegarden subdomain
- GDPR compliance tools — consent capture, data retention policies, candidate deletion, and audit trail
- Structured scorecards — per-role evaluation forms submitted by interviewers before seeing others’ feedback
- Basic analytics — time-to-hire, source of hire, pipeline conversion rates, and stage funnel view
The Startup plan handles the full hiring lifecycle for most small and growing companies. There is no artificial feature restriction at this tier designed to force upgrades. The decision to move to Growth is about analytics depth and reporting customization, not about accessing core hiring functionality.
Growth Plan: $499/month
The Growth plan is the most commonly selected tier for companies with a dedicated HR function and multiple hiring managers running simultaneous hiring cycles.
Everything in Startup, plus
- Advanced analytics — interviewer performance metrics, pass-through rate analysis by evaluator, diversity funnel reporting, and source quality scoring
- Custom reporting — configurable dashboards with exportable reports for internal stakeholders and board reporting
- Priority support — dedicated support channel with guaranteed response times, ahead of standard queue
- Offer management — digital offer letters with e-signature, approval workflows, and offer tracking
- Advanced candidate search — full-text search across all candidate data with saved search queries and candidate tagging
- Multi-department pipelines — separate pipeline configurations and reporting views per department or business unit
The Growth plan is the right fit for companies with 50 to 300 employees who want analytics visibility beyond the basics, and for HR teams that need to produce regular hiring reports for leadership.
Scale Plan: $899/month
The Scale plan is for companies running significant hiring volume, with complex integration requirements or service-level expectations that go beyond standard support.
Everything in Growth, plus
- Dedicated customer success manager — a named Treegarden team member who knows your account, your hiring workflows, and your team
- Custom integrations — bespoke integration development for HRIS systems, payroll platforms, or internal tools not covered by standard connectors
- SLA guarantee — contractual uptime commitment with defined incident response times and remedies
- Advanced permissions — granular role-based access control with custom permission sets per user type
- Bulk operations — mass candidate actions, bulk email, and batch pipeline movements for high-volume hiring
- White-label career page — full domain customization with no Treegarden branding visible to candidates
How Treegarden Compares to Major Alternatives
Pricing comparisons are most useful when you hold the company size constant. The table below uses a 50-person company growing to approximately 100 people over one year, with 8 people involved in the hiring process across departments.
| Platform | Monthly Cost | Pricing Model | 8 Reviewers Included? | Published? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treegarden Growth | $499 | Flat monthly | Yes — unlimited users | Yes |
| Greenhouse | $1,000–$2,000+ | Per employee (~$500/mo base + seats) | No — seat-based | No |
| Lever Professional | $700–$1,700 | Per employee | No — seat-based | No |
| Workable Standard | $199–$599 | Per active job (caps apply) | Limited — job limits apply | Partially |
Total Cost of Ownership: 3-Year Model (50-Person Company, 8 Reviewers)
The monthly price is only part of the picture. The total cost of ownership over a three-year contract includes implementation, seat fees as headcount grows, and annual renewal increases.
| Cost Category | Treegarden Growth | Greenhouse | Lever Professional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 subscription | $5,988 | $12,000–$20,000 | $8,000–$15,000 |
| Implementation fee | $0 | $5,000–$15,000 | $5,000–$10,000 |
| Year 2 (headcount growth) | $5,988 | $15,000–$25,000 | $9,000–$17,000 |
| Year 3 (renewal increase) | $5,988 | $17,000–$28,000 | $10,000–$19,000 |
| 3-year total | $17,964 | $49,000–$88,000 | $32,000–$61,000 |
The three-year comparison is where the flat-rate model compounds most visibly. Treegarden’s total cost is fixed at $17,964 regardless of whether the company grows from 50 to 80 or 50 to 200 people during that period. Greenhouse and Lever costs escalate at every renewal because the per-employee base grows.
What Changes Between Plans (And What Does Not)
The most important thing to understand about Treegarden’s tier structure is what stays the same across all plans. Core hiring functionality — AI screening, pipeline management, job posting, GDPR compliance, structured scorecards, and candidate communications — is available at every tier starting with Startup. You do not need to be on the Scale plan to use AI screening. You do not need Growth to access GDPR tools. The tier structure is additive, not restrictive.
What changes between plans is the depth of analytics, the level of support, and the availability of custom integration development. Companies that need robust reporting for leadership, or those running complex hiring workflows that benefit from custom HRIS connections, are the ones for whom the Growth and Scale plans deliver the most incremental value.
Which Plan to Start With
Startup at $299/month is the right entry point for companies with fewer than 50 employees, companies running fewer than 10 simultaneous jobs, and companies where one or two people own the entire recruitment function. The full feature set at this tier handles professional hiring end-to-end.
Growth at $499/month makes sense for companies with a dedicated HR team, multiple hiring managers across departments, and a need to report on hiring metrics to leadership or investors. The analytics and custom reporting at this tier answer questions that basic dashboards cannot.
Scale at $899/month is for companies running significant hiring volume (50+ hires per year), organizations with specific HRIS or payroll integration requirements, and teams that want a named customer success contact managing their account.

How much does Treegarden cost in 2026?
Treegarden has three published plans: Startup at $299 per month, Growth at $499 per month, and Scale at $899 per month. All plans include unlimited users and all core features. There are no per-user fees, no per-employee charges, and no implementation costs.
Does Treegarden charge per user or per employee?
Treegarden does not charge per user or per employee. All plans include unlimited users. Adding a hiring manager, a department head, or an executive to the platform as a reviewer costs nothing extra. This is different from most enterprise ATS platforms that charge per seat or scale pricing based on total company headcount.
What is included in Treegarden Startup at $299/month?
The Startup plan includes unlimited users, AI screening, job posting to major boards, full pipeline management with configurable stages, email templates for all hiring communications, Calendly integration for interview scheduling, a branded career page, GDPR compliance tools, structured interview scorecards, and basic hiring analytics. This covers the complete hiring lifecycle without any core feature restrictions.
Does Treegarden require an annual contract?
No. Treegarden is available month-to-month. Annual billing is an option that typically provides a discount equivalent to approximately two months, but it is not required. There are no penalties for cancelling on monthly billing and no lock-in periods unless you specifically choose an annual arrangement. This flexibility is intentional: the goal is to keep customers because the product delivers value, not because the contract makes leaving difficult.
