Honest Guidance
Which one is right for you?
- Are a startup or SMB (1-500 people)
- Want AI to screen and interview candidates for you
- Don't have a dedicated recruiting team
- Need to start hiring today, not in 6-8 weeks
- Want transparent pricing without sales calls
- Can't justify $6K-$100K/year on an ATS
- Hire internationally (multi-language support)
- Want modern AI capabilities out of the box
- Have 500+ employees with a full TA department
- Need OFCCP, EEOC, and enterprise-grade compliance
- Run complex, multi-stage hiring with structured scorecards
- Need 500+ integrations with your existing HR stack
- Have budget for $6K-$100K+/year on recruiting
- Want the most mature, battle-tested ATS on the market
- Need advanced panel interview scheduling
- Require dedicated implementation support and CSM
The Bottom Line
Greenhouse is built for enterprises. Prepzo is built for everyone else.
Greenhouse is the industry standard for a reason. If you're a 1,000-person company with a 10-person recruiting team, OFCCP compliance requirements, and a six-figure recruiting tech budget, Greenhouse is hard to beat. It's mature, deeply integrated, and battle-tested.
But for the other 99% of companies? Greenhouse is massive overkill. You don't need a 6-week implementation to post three jobs. You don't need to call a sales rep to find out what it costs. And you definitely don't need to manually screen every resume when AI can do it in seconds.
Prepzo gives you AI screening, AI interviews, and a complete hiring pipeline - for $0 to start and $29/month to scale. That's less than what most companies spend on Greenhouse in a single week.
