Understanding JobScout’s pricing helps you get the most from AI-driven job matching and interview automation — saving time and cutting costs.
How JobScout Pricing Works for You
Let’s be real: pricing can feel like a maze. But with JobScout, the structure is clear and tailored to your hiring needs. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling a big team, our pricing aligns with what you actually use. From AI-powered matching that goes beyond keywords to smart interview scheduling, you’re investing in tools that genuinely save hours and reduce mistakes.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what each tier offers and how it matches different hiring demands.
| Plan | Monthly Cost | AI Matching Limit | Interview Automation | Support Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 matches | Basic scheduling | Email only |
| Starter | $99 | 100 matches | Automated scheduling | Email + Chat |
| Growth | $299 | Unlimited | Full automation + video | Phone + Priority |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Custom workflows | Dedicated rep |
Starting Out: The Free Tier’s Real Value
Honestly, free plans often feel like a tease, but our free tier actually gives you meaningful tools to kick off your hiring process. You can post up to two active jobs and get up to 10 AI matches per month. While it’s not the full AI-powered experience, you still get standard candidate screening and interview scheduling that make life easier.
From our experience, small businesses and startups tell us this is enough to test the waters without any risk. It’s a chance to see how AI matching can cut down the endless scrolling through resumes.
Professional Plans: What You Get and How to Use Them
Once you’re ready for more, the Starter and Growth plans step up your hiring game. Here’s what you’ll find:
- Starter Plan ($99/month): Unlimited job postings, up to 100 AI matches, automated interview scheduling, and a basic analytics dashboard.
- Growth Plan ($299/month): Unlimited AI matches, video interview integration, custom screening questionnaires, API access, and priority support.
Let’s talk about how to actually get started with these plans on our platform:
- Log into your JobScout dashboard.
- Navigate to the “Pricing & Plans” section.
- Select the plan that fits your current needs and click “Upgrade.”
- Enter your payment info and confirm your subscription.
- Immediately start posting jobs and enjoy AI-driven candidate matching.
One tip: pay close attention to your monthly AI match usage. Our dashboard alerts you before hitting limits, so you can upgrade smoothly without surprises.
Add-Ons That Make a Difference
Sometimes you need a little extra to get exactly what you want. That’s where our add-ons come in:
- AI Enhancement Package ($50/month): This boosts your AI matching with social media analysis, skills assessments, and cultural fit scoring.
- Video Interview Pro ($25/month per interviewer): High-definition video recording, AI-powered interview analysis, and sentiment detection.
These add-ons plug right into your existing plan and can really sharpen your hiring precision. For example, the cultural fit analysis helps reduce turnover by catching mismatches early.
Pricing Across Different Industries
Different sectors have different needs, and we get that. Here’s how pricing adjusts based on your industry:
| Industry | Starting Plan Cost | Special Features |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare | $199/month | HIPAA compliance, credential verification |
| Technology | $149/month | Coding challenges, GitHub analysis |
| Non-Profit | 25% off all plans | Verified discount |
These tailored features make sure you’re not paying for extras you don’t need but still get the tools that matter most to your field.
Billing, Payments, and Contracts
We keep billing flexible. You can choose monthly billing or save by paying annually (two months free, no joke). Payment methods include credit cards, ACH transfers for annual plans, and wire transfers for Enterprise clients.
Most users appreciate that we don’t lock you into long contracts. You can cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice. Enterprise deals usually have annual contracts, but we work with you to make terms clear upfront.
Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Annual billing saves about 17% compared to monthly.
- No setup fees for Starter and Growth plans.
- Enterprise onboarding fees vary but are always transparent.
Measuring ROI: Making Pricing Worthwhile
Now, here’s where pricing gets practical. Let’s say you’re spending $500 a month on job boards and $4,800 on recruiter hours. Switching to our Growth plan at $299/month, you can expect:
- 60% less manual screening time
- 30% faster hires
- 25% improvement in candidate quality
That faster time-to-hire can save you thousands, especially when considering the cost of a bad hire (usually 30% of that person’s annual salary). Our AI insights help you avoid costly mistakes and streamline the entire process.
Support and Service Levels
Good support matters when you’re juggling a lot. Here’s how we handle it across plans:
| Plan | Support Type | Response Time | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Email only | 48-72 hours | Business hours |
| Starter | Email + Chat | 24 hours | Business hours |
| Growth | Phone + Priority | 4 hours | Extended hours |
| Enterprise | Dedicated rep | 1 hour | 24/7 |
From what users tell us, even the free tier gives you real people who actually respond — not just bots. That’s pretty important when time is tight and questions pop up.
Avoiding Surprises: Extra Costs to Keep in Mind
We’re upfront about pricing, but here are some extras that might come up:
- Enterprise setup fees: $500–$5,000 depending on complexity.
- Data migration: $200–$1,000 if moving from another system.
- Advanced training sessions: $150/hour for extra help.
- Custom integrations: $1,000+ depending on scope.
Smaller businesses usually don’t face these costs, but it’s worth knowing so you can budget accordingly.
Making the Most of Your Pricing Plan
Here are some practical tips from our experience:
- Start small: The Starter plan fits most needs for beginners. You can always upgrade.
- Plan upgrades strategically: We often offer discounts in Q4 and Q1 — timing your upgrade here saves money.
- Volume discounts: For multiple accounts or locations, ask about discounts up to 30%.
Remember, the goal is to find the right balance between cost and features that speed up hiring without stretching your budget.
