Where they differ

Teamtailor still wins on careers site polish and employer branding, and its job-slot pricing means unlimited users are included at any size, so a small team with a handful of roles isn't paying by headcount. Workable wins on sourcing reach and, now, on how much of the top-of-funnel work it will do without you: Workable Agent can write the job post, message candidates, and run the first screening conversation on its own. That's a bigger bet on automated outreach than most SMB teams are used to, and it's worth knowing going in, whether or not it's the fit you want.

Teamtailor strengths and weaknesses

Strengths:

• Reviewers consistently praise the intuitive interface.
• Responsive, helpful customer support during onboarding.
• Careers page and employer branding are standout strengths.

Weaknesses:

• No published pricing. You go through a sales quote to see a number.
• Job-slot pricing climbs with hiring volume, and third-party pricing trackers report annual contracts as the norm, not month-to-month.
• Reporting and analytics are not deep enough for advanced needs.

Workable strengths and weaknesses

Strengths:

• End-to-end recruiting plus light HR in one platform.
• Multi-board posting (200+) and resume handling are core strengths.
• Public pricing and a 15-day free trial make evaluation easy.

Weaknesses:

• Video interviews and assessments sit behind a $109/month and $59/month add-on on the $299/month Standard plan. You pay more to unlock what looks built in.
• Workable Agent runs on a credit system on top of your plan. Heavier use means buying more credits.
• Some Capterra reviews mention inconsistent customer service.

Teamtailor vs Workable: feature breakdown

Key differentiator

Teamtailor is for teams that treat the careers site as a marketing asset and can absorb an annual, job-slot-priced contract. Workable is for teams that want one flat-rate tool for sourcing, screening, and light HR, including a chunk of that sourcing and screening now running on autopilot through Workable Agent. Both are solid ATSes. Neither shows you the evidence behind a match the way a screening-first tool does.

Teamtailor vs Workable: pricing

Teamtailor pricing: not published. You request a quote, and the price is set by how many job slots you need open at once, not by seat count (unlimited users are included on every plan). Third-party pricing trackers report a typical range of roughly $300/month for a handful of open roles up to $1,500+/month for high-volume hiring, usually on an annual contract rather than month-to-month. Confirm the real number with their sales team before you budget around it.

Workable pricing: published and flat-rate. Standard is $299/month ($3,588 billed annually), Premier is $599/month ($7,188 billed annually), and Enterprise is $719/month ($8,628 billed annually). On Standard, one-way video interviews and assessments are $109/month and $59/month add-ons on top of the base price; Premier and Enterprise include them. Workable Agent, the sourcing-and-screening AI, comes with 3,000 free credits a month on any paid plan, then $0.095 to $0.12 per additional credit.

Truffle pricing: from $49/month, credit-based and self-serve. No contracts, no per-seat pricing, no add-on unlocks: resume screening, one-way interviews, and assessments ship on every plan. 7-day free trial, 30 credits, no credit card.

What you get for the price

Workable's headline number is honest, but a fully-loaded Standard plan (video interviews plus assessments) runs closer to $467/month before you spend a single AI credit. Teamtailor's opacity cuts the other way: you don't know your number until you're already in a sales process, and the typical annual commitment is a bigger swing for a team that hires in bursts. Pair either ATS with Truffle for the screening layer that's included on every plan, not stacked on top of it.
