- 3Yardstick is our product.It has one section, near the end, as a third option, and the summary at the top points to it. Everything above that section is about Workable and JazzHR.
What each one is.
Workable
Workable is recruiting and HR software sold in three plans, Standard, Premier, and Enterprise. Each plan is priced by your company's employee count, in bands from 1 to 20 up to 801 to 1,000, and Workable publishes no price above 1,000 employees. The recruiting prices on this page leave out Workable's HR module, which is priced on its own.
Standard can be paid monthly or annually. Premier and Enterprise are annual only, and they add texting, video interviews, assessments, referrals, a hiring plan, and single sign-on. On Standard, texting, video interviews, and assessments are add-ons, at $89, $109, and $59 a month at 1 to 20 employees.
Every plan lists interview kits and scorecards, self-scheduled interviews, offer letter templates, native e-signatures, the Talent CRM database, and API access. Workable Agent's Sourcing, Screening, and Engagement agents use AI credits (the Job Brief Agent is included), and each plan comes with 3,000 free. The free trial is 15 days with no credit card.
JazzHR
JazzHR is an applicant tracking system sold in three plans, each a flat company fee billed yearly or monthly, with unlimited users and no per-seat fees. JazzHR is part of Employ, which also sells Lever and Jobvite. JazzHR Hero is $1,000 a year or $110 billed monthly, with job postings starting at 3 a month.

JazzHR Pro is $5,508 a year or $549 billed monthly, with Offers and eSignatures and a custom reports builder included.
JazzHR offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and month-to-month, yearly, and multi-year contracts with no termination fees. Its standard pricing does not apply to agencies, HR service providers, franchises, multi-location businesses, or organizations with over 250 employees.

Where the two actually differ.
Workable's price follows your headcount. JazzHR's follows the plan.
Workable Standard is $299 a month at 1 to 20 employees, $419 at 21 to 50, and $669 at 51 to 100, all billed annually. JazzHR Plus is $3,480 a year at any of those sizes, as long as you have 250 or fewer employees and are not a business type JazzHR's standard pricing excludes. At 15 employees the two are within $108 a year of each other. At 40 employees Workable Standard is $1,548 a year more than JazzHR Plus, and at 80 employees it is $4,548 more.
Interview kits and scorecards are on Workable's first plan and JazzHR's second.
Workable lists interview kits and scorecards on every plan, Standard included. JazzHR lists Interview Guides and Candidate Evaluation Templates on Plus, not on Hero. So at these two vendors, the cheapest plans that list an interview guide or kit and a scorecard are Workable Standard and JazzHR Plus, which is why the cost table above compares those two plans.
Workable puts more on the entry plan. JazzHR keeps the entry plan cheaper.
Workable Standard includes self-scheduled interviews, two-way calendar sync, offer letter templates, native e-signatures, and API access. JazzHR starts its recruiting calendar on Plus and its offers and e-signatures on Pro, or as an add-on on Plus. JazzHR Hero, at $1,000 a year, is the lowest published price of either vendor, and it covers job posting and applicant tracking without interview guides or evaluation templates.
Workable lists SSO, an API, and an MCP server. JazzHR's pricing page lists none of them.
Workable puts single sign-on on Premier and Enterprise and API access on every plan, and its help center documents an MCP server that connects AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. JazzHR publishes API documentation but does not say on its pricing page which plans include the API, and it lists no SSO or MCP server.
If neither fits: a third option.
Workable's bill follows your headcount, and JazzHR keeps its interview guides off the entry plan. If you want the interview designed for the role on the free plan, and a published bill that follows your open roles, Yardstick is built for that shape.
Yardstick designs the interview guide and scorecard for the role you are hiring, so every candidate has the same important conversation, is scored on the same scale, and the interview produces evidence about who will perform in this job. The AI drafts the guide and the scorecard, and your team edits both. Interviewers open the guide on a magic link, with no paid seats to buy. Structured interviews, scorecards, scheduling, a talent CRM, and the public API are on every account, including the free one.
Yardstick pricing is a monthly plan fee plus each open role. The first three Jobs are free, then Yardstick Core is $49 a month plus $29 per open role, billed monthly, and Yardstick Scale is $149 a month plus $19 per open role. One open role on Yardstick Core is $78 a month, two are $107, and three are $136, at any headcount. A role you close stops billing the next month, and there is no annual commitment. Interviewers and hiring managers are never charged as seats.
The agent path is your own AI agent. You chat with an agent such as Claude Code or Codex, it runs the yardstick CLI, and the actions that matter wait for your approval. These include publishing a job, advancing or rejecting a candidate, and emailing one outside a sequence you approved. Claude and ChatGPT can connect over MCP on every account, free included.
Yardstick is not an HRIS, so it does not hold payroll or HR records. SSO, SCIM, and advanced audit logs are on the Enterprise plan.
