The best alternatives to Greenhouse
Greenhouse might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Greenhouse alternative
Greenhouse centres hiring on structured interviews, scorecards and traceability. Its AI helps write, filter, summarise and source, with controls to disable features and keep decisions with people. Core, Plus and Pro are quoted by volume and complexity, with no public rate.
What its own users repeat in the August 6, 2026 sweep:
- It publishes no rates and advanced configuration depends on a sales process (strong theme)
- Reviews flag difficulty searching older candidates and navigating complex filters (present theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Ashby 4.2/5 · From $400
Ashby combines ATS, talent CRM, sourcing, scheduling and BI-depth analytics. Foundations costs $400 monthly for companies up to 100 employees and higher plans are quoted. Reviews value automation and reporting but warn about the learning curve and growing bill.
Where it wins: ATS, CRM, sourcing, scheduling and analytics share the same data layer Where it slips: Deep configuration requires more learning than a simple ATS
Metaview 3.8/5 · Free + from $60
The entry price stays at $60 a month per user, unchanged since the previous sweep. This week adds one nuance: Metaview's own blog admits that most teams do not replace LinkedIn, they only add Metaview's sourcing on top, which confirms in the company's own words what users had been saying. Support documentation also narrows the Workday admission: the tool does not automatically schedule interviews from Workday Recruiting. Several third-party sites publish different entry prices, between $20 and $50, that do not match the official page and look outdated.
Where it wins: It captures and summarises phone calls, not just video calls, and it is by far the most cited feature: nine separate voices across three independent threads from 2024, June and July 2026 Where it slips: Sourcing does not replace LinkedIn: five user voices already said so and this week Metaview's own blog confirms it in its own words, almost no team replaces LinkedIn, they keep it for brand and outreach and let Metaview handle continuous discovery on top
Workable 3.7/5 · Free trial · from $299
The entry price holds at $299 a month on annual billing, confirmed again on the official pricing page, and still climbs with the company's total headcount. This sweep adds Workable's MCP server, a documented integration that lets AI agents work with candidates, employees and HR workflows, though the vendor's own documentation and press release disagree on how many tools it exposes, so no figure is quoted here. Reporting and entry-tier support remain the weak spot, as this week's G2 and Capterra reviews still show.
Where it wins: Short learning curve: a new recruiter posts jobs and moves candidates on day one Where it slips: The rate scales with the company's employee count rather than with recruiters, across nine bands, so hiring one more person can change the invoice
