What works in your favour

Where Breezy stops, from one-time scoring to a one-sided contract

Who Breezy HR suits

Breezy’s customer stories cover teams of very different sizes. Pointed Copywriting has five part-time, remote employees. Its story is about the tracking system. Dodge Data & Analytics has nearly 500 people. Piksel has 650 employees in 11 offices.

Every plan has unlimited users, so more recruiters do not raise the price. Your cost follows the plan and your AI use. A role with few applicants costs little to score. The free Bootstrap plan allows one active position at a time.

What Breezy costs and what the contract says

Breezy sells plans and the AI add-on separately. Bootstrap is free. Startup, Growth and Business each show two monthly prices. Startup shows $157 and $189. Growth shows $273 and $329. Business shows $439 and $529. Annual pricing includes two months free. Custom Pro adds an account manager and advanced reporting.

The AI runs on prepaid usage units from $30 per 100,000. They never expire. Unused units are not refunded if you cancel. You buy them in steps of 100,000, and an account holds at most 1,000,000. When units run out, the AI tools switch off until you add more.

One applicant review uses about 500 units. A role with 1,000 applicants costs about $150 to score at the entry rate. A CV audit uses up to 600 units. A review plus an audit costs up to about 33 cents a person. One Candidate Sourcing search uses about 50,000 units. Interview Analysis is a separate subscription.

Payments are due within 30 days of the invoice. Unpaid amounts can carry interest of up to 1.5% a month. You own your content. You also give Breezy a worldwide licence to it for the length of your subscription. Breezy can pass that right to others.

If you cancel a paid account, Breezy deletes your data one year later. You can regain access if you resubscribe within that year. If you ask for immediate deletion, a new subscription cannot recover the data. Candidate data exports to a spreadsheet file.
