Forty-seven applicant tracking systems, compared

Decide first whether hiring comes with your HR system. Prices run from free plans to quotes. Some products can reject a candidate on a score with no person involved. Only some name who audited their AI for bias. Take each open question to the vendor.

By Ashish Manchanda Published 3 Nov 2026 Last updated 3 Nov 2026 Forty-seven products, side by side

Does it come with your HR system, or stand alone?

Before you compare features, decide where hiring should live. A product sold inside an HR or payroll system sends new hires to the employee records that system already holds. A stand-alone product connects to your HR system through a link, and you sign a second contract. Fourteen of the 47 products below are sold inside an HR or payroll system. The other 33 are bought on their own.

Sometimes the choice is made for you. Deel’s hiring tool needs Deel’s HR system underneath it. Paradox for Workday needs Workday Recruiting, and that needs Workday HCM. Other products work either way. Cezanne Recruitment works with Cezanne’s HR system or alone. isolved sells its tool inside isolved People Cloud or alone. SmartRecruiters is an SAP company. In August 2025, SAP said it stays available on its own for the foreseeable future. Ask what that means for the length of your contract.

Who owns a product can shape your contract. Paradox is one example. On the UK G-Cloud list, the customer’s Workday order form sets the full price and terms for Paradox. But ownership does not make terms match. Employ owns JazzHR, Jobvite and Lever, yet the uptime promise differs. JazzHR and Lever promise 99.9% and Jobvite promises 99.5%. Ownership also changes. Paychex bought Paycor in April 2025, Signal Labs bought BrassRing in 2026 and EQT bought PageUp in 2024. So read each product’s own terms. Ask who owns the product today and whose name will be on your contract.

Read the Built for column first. It gives the company size or kind of hiring each vendor aims at. Where a row says to ask who it is built for, put that question to the vendor. Then match the last column against the HR system you run. If it is missing from a row, ask whether a link exists and who pays for it.

What each one costs, can reject and promises

Four things separate products when their features look alike, and each is hard to change once you have signed. Price and automatic rejection decide what you pay and who you turn away. A bias audit and an uptime promise decide what you can check and claim later. The grid answers all four for each product. A cell that asks a question is not a mark against the product. It is an answer you still need from the vendor.

Prices run from free plans to quotes, and the units differ. Breezy HR, Dover and Zoho Recruit have free plans. Dayforce’s price book gives $43.44 per employee a year for Recruiting, though another Dayforce document calls its pricing not public. Oracle charges $8 per employee a month, which is $96 a year, for at least 500 employees. Oleeo starts at £13,200 a year and Tribepad Pro at £19,000. Lever, Jobvite, Teamtailor and Paycom price by quote. So the list figures cannot be compared as they stand. Turn each one into a yearly cost for your headcount before the budget talk. Ask every quoting vendor for the same headcount and add-ons.

The base price may not be the full price, because AI is often billed apart. Workable, Breezy HR and Fountain charge for AI use from a balance of AI units. Workable includes 3,000 free units with each plan. Hireology sells AI Interview as an add-on with a cap that follows company size, and extra interviews cost $3 each. So ask for the AI price in the first quote.

Rejection is the column where a mistake costs the most. A candidate turned away by software has not been read by a person. Some products apply only a rule the employer wrote. Recruitee’s must-have screening questions disqualify a candidate on the answer the employer sets. Zoho Recruit disqualifies a candidate who fails a qualifying question. Ashby’s auto-reject rules archive applicants by their form answers. With these, the employer can say in advance who will be rejected and why. Others reject on a score the software works out. ZappyVue scores responses on knowledge and language proficiency without any human intervention. Zappyhire rejects candidates below its minimum score and sends them no message. Talkpush can reject from Voice-AI replies with no recruiter input. With a score, the employer sets the cut-off but the software decides who falls below it. Zoho Recruit also uses a minimum assessment score, and Tribepad questionnaires can reject by score. Greenhouse, Gem, Hireology and Breezy HR leave rejection to a person for their AI scoring.

What an audit date and an uptime penalty tell you

Two answers in the comparison grid rest on a document you can ask the vendor for. They are the bias audit and the uptime promise. A dated audit report can be checked. So can the wording of an uptime promise.

The audit date matters because of New York City’s Local Law 144. It covers an automated employment decision tool. That is software whose score or recommendation replaces or largely drives a hiring decision. In New York City, a tool of that kind needs a bias audit from the year before it is used. The duty falls on the employer, not the vendor. A vendor’s audit helps you, but it does not carry that duty for you.

More than twenty products say an outside party has tested their AI for bias, but only ten name the auditor. They are ADP, Ashby, Breezy HR, Eightfold, Gem, Greenhouse, Hireology, Paycor, Tribepad and Workday. A name and a date are what you can check. ADP’s audit was in April 2024. iCIMS obtained audit reports in November 2022 and November 2023. If you hire in New York City, an audit from 2023 or 2024 is over a year old. Ask for a newer one. Eightfold’s audit was in March 2026, but its pages give three different dates in that month. Ask which date counts and who wrote the report.

An uptime promise is worth what happens when it is missed. Twenty-four of the 47 give a percentage, from 98% at Darwinbox to 99.9% at several others. The remedies differ. Under Eightfold’s terms, compensation is its only liability for an outage. When the impact is above ten dollars, Lever applies compensation of 10 times the fee for the downtime. That compensation is capped at 30 days of paid service. SmartRecruiters pays 10% of the prior 12 months’ fees for each 1% below its promise, on written request. Ask what your contract pays and how you claim it.
