The options
1. Jatura
Best for: Small and mid-sized teams with inbound applicants who want AI screening they can audit, and who do not want to pay per seat.
Pricing: Free plan with no time limit (2 active jobs, 1,000 applications, 100 AI units a month, 3 team members). Paid plans: Starter $79/month (5 active jobs), Pro $179/month (15 active jobs, AI interviewer), Scale $379/month (unlimited jobs), Agency $149/month plus $19 per active client. Unlimited team members on every paid plan, and a 14-day free trial on every paid plan.
AI: AI scores every applicant against your criteria with the reasoning attached (strengths, gaps, how they stack up). Scores can be overridden and nothing is auto-rejected.
Trade-off: Jatura is a newer product, so check the integrations you rely on before you commit.
2. Ashby
An all-in-one recruiting platform that combines ATS, CRM, scheduling and analytics.
Best for: Startups and scale-ups that want one platform with strong analytics.
Pricing: Foundations plan is published from $400 a month; Plus and Enterprise are quote based. Some AI features, such as the notetaker, are paid add-ons.

4. Workable
A recruiting ATS plus post-hire HR, with published pricing banded by company size.
