Use cases
Resume screening use cases, by hiring need
The fastest way to clear a screening backlog is to stop reading the inbound pile by hand. Prescreener parses every resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks the screening questions you set, scores role-fit against consistent criteria, and hands recruiters a ranked pile with a transparent reason on every candidate. Prescreener never auto-rejects, it ranks and flags candidates for your team to review and decide. Pick the hiring need you have, or the role you fill, and see exactly how Prescreener screens faster and fairer.

Learn morePricing guides
What the major applicant tracking and screening systems actually cost in the United States, checked against each vendor's own pricing page rather than repeated from comparison articles, with the plan that screens resumes marked on every one.
Metaview pricing
Metaview publishes a rate for Application Review, $150 a month for 500 reviews, while Sourcing and Notetaker are priced per user. Work out which agent you need and what a review costs before you compare it with a flat resume screening subscription.
Learn moreGem recruiting pricing
Gem publishes no price for companies over 100 employees. The only figures on gem.com/pricing are startup tiers for small teams, so budget the sourcing and CRM platform separately from reading the applicants already in your ATS.
Learn moreBeamery pricing
Beamery publishes no price. Vendr buyer data shows a $76,797 annual median and contracts reaching $204,153, making this a potential six-figure platform purchase. Budget the talent CRM and workforce intelligence requirement separately from reading the inbound resumes already in your ATS.
Learn moreGlider AI pricing
Glider AI pricing starts with a demo, not a published rate. Capterra and SelectHub list a $299 monthly starting figure, but that is third-party information. Here is what Glider sells, what to ask about the quote and how ranking resumes first can reduce the candidate volume sent into paid assessments and interviews.
Learn moreTestlify pricing
Testlify publishes its prices, which is more than most assessment vendors do. Starter is $139 a month billed $1,668 a year for 100 candidate credits, and every candidate who starts a test spends one. Here is what each tier, credit and add-on costs, and how to stop paying to test applicants a resume would have ruled out.
Learn moreVervoe pricing
Vervoe no longer publishes a price. Its pricing page now carries a single Request pricing button for an enterprise plan, and the $19 Pay & Go and $250 Growth plans that review sites still quote were removed in early 2026. Here is what those plans included, what the enterprise quote covers, and what it costs to rank every inbound resume before anyone takes a test.
Learn moreClearCompany pricing
ClearCompany, now branded ClearCo, publishes no rate for any package. Its pricing page names ClearRecruit, ClearTalent, TotalTalent, ClearGrow and ClearLearn and sends every button to a quote. The only spend figures come from Vendr: a median of $11,185 a year across a $5,360 to $31,080 range. Here is what each package includes, what drives the quote, where the AI screening sits, and what it costs to rank every inbound resume first.
Learn moreHumanly pricing
Humanly publishes no plan price. Its pricing address shows a Page not found screen and every button books a demo. The only figures Humanly prints sit on a limited-time offer page: $3 to $30 per AI video interview and $10K per role for human sourcing. Here is what those numbers buy, what a quote depends on, what other hourly hiring platforms print, and what it costs to rank every inbound resume first.
Learn morePinpoint ATS pricing
Pinpoint does not publish a price. Its pricing link leads to a quote form, the plan names come from third-party listings, and the two dollar figures that circulate disagree with each other by a factor of four. Here is what sets a Pinpoint quote, where its AI Match Score sits, what rival applicant tracking systems print, and what it costs to have every inbound applicant ranked at a published rate.
Learn moreAvionte pricing
Avionte does not publish a price. Its site has no pricing page, no editions and no trial, and the two figures that circulate online come from one comparison site that prints both $75 and $750 per user a month. Here is what sets an Avionte quote, what AviontéBOLD includes, how its AI Matching Agent is sold, what rivals print, and what it costs to have every inbound applicant ranked at a published rate.
Learn moreTracker RMS pricing
Tracker RMS now prints its entry prices: $79 per user a month on Launch and $99 on Core, with a six-month minimum. Professional and Enterprise are still quoted. Here is what each plan includes, what a 5, 10 or 25 recruiter agency pays, where TrackerAI sits, and what it costs to rank every inbound applicant without adding seats.
Learn moreJobDiva pricing
JobDiva does not publish a price. It has no pricing page, no plan names and no trial offer on its site, and the per-user figures on comparison sites cite no source. Here is what sets a JobDiva quote, what the subscription includes, what rivals print, and what it costs to have every inbound applicant ranked while you wait for sales to call back.
Learn moreRecruitee pricing
Recruitee does not publish a price. Tellent sells it as Start, Advance and Optimize, quotes each one by headcount, and rations the AI that reads applicants: none on Start, 100 screenings a month on Advance. Here is what each plan includes, the third-party prices graded by source, the renewal increase, and what it costs to have every applicant ranked instead.
Learn moreHarri pricing
Harri publishes no prices. Its new pricing page sells Talent Acquisition in two bundles, Core and Perform, and puts every AI feature that reads or compares applicants on Perform. The $78 job post and $70 to $240 monthly plans you still see quoted came from a page that is now gone. Here is what each bundle includes, the one real quote in circulation, and what it costs to rank every hospitality applicant without a new platform contract.
Learn moreApploi pricing
Apploi publishes no prices. Its pricing page splits healthcare employers into four segments and names a different pricing unit for each: locations for senior living and skilled nursing, aides for home health, BCBAs for behavioral health. Here is what each unit means for your quote, what the AI does and does not do, and what it costs to rank clinical applicants without a new platform contract.
Learn moreWorkstream pricing
Workstream publishes four plans and no prices. Every card on its pricing page ends in Get in touch, and its own blog says the quote follows location count, headcount and modules. The one dollar figure Workstream has printed itself is a negotiated $50 per location a month for A&W franchisees. Here is each figure graded, what each plan includes, and what it costs to rank applicants without a new platform contract.
Learn moreTeamtailor pricing
Teamtailor publishes no price. Its pricing page offers a quote, unlimited users and unlimited job postings, and its help center lists Co-pilot, the AI that screens candidates, as an add-on at no extra cost. Every dollar figure you have seen comes from Vendr's guide or a competitor's blog. Here is each one graded, the add-ons that do cost extra, and what it costs to have your applicants ranked instead of checked.
Learn moreHireology pricing
Hireology publishes no price. Its own packages page names two plans, Core and Perform, and puts every AI feature that reads applicants on Perform. The $249 and $499 figures you see quoted belong to plan names Hireology no longer sells. Here is what each plan includes, what the one published rate ($3 per AI Interview over the cap) means, and what it costs to have applicants ranked without a new ATS contract.
Learn moreFindem pricing
Findem publishes no price on its own site. The only list price anywhere is $25,000 for a 12-month Talent License on AWS Marketplace, Vendr's buyer data puts the median contract at $58,000 a year, and its newest product charges per candidate you unlock. Here is every figure graded, and what it costs to have Findem screen your applicants.
Learn moreSeekOut pricing
SeekOut publishes one price: Recruit Core at $149 a month paid annually up front, or $179 billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial. Every other tier is quoted, and AI inbound screening is not on Core at all. Here is what SeekOut states, what Vendr's buyer data shows, and what it costs to have SeekOut read your applicants.
Learn morehireEZ pricing
hireEZ publishes one price: $494 a month for a solo recruiter, with a 7-day free trial. Team and enterprise pricing is set by quote against the tools hireEZ replaces. Here is what hireEZ states, what Vendr's buyer data shows, where the $169 and $199 seat figures come from, and what hireEZ's Applicant Review does with your inbound pile.
Learn moreCareerPlug pricing
CareerPlug publishes no rate on its website. Its help center names three plans, Limited, Hire and Grow, and spells out the billing terms, and the only dollar figure in circulation is a third-party estimate of about $50 per location a month. Here is what is stated, what is guessed, and what CareerPlug's screening actually does with an applicant.
Learn morePhenom pricing
Phenom People publishes no rate for any product. Its pricing page is a request form. The best public anchor is Vendr's buyer data, which puts the median Phenom contract at $98,313 a year, and it contradicts the "starts at $100K" line repeated across the web.
Learn moreParadox AI pricing
Paradox publishes no rate for Olivia or any other product, and Workday ownership has not changed that. The only figure you can trace to a listing is a $1,000 a month starting price on Capterra. Everything larger is a third-party estimate, and the estimates disagree.
Learn moreEightfold AI pricing
Eightfold publishes no rate for any product. The per-employee figure quoted across the web describes its full enterprise platform, and Eightfold's own blog now says AI Interviewer is sold on a different basis, in a five-figure range for mid-size employers.
Learn moreCriteria Corp pricing
Criteria Corp publishes three plans and no price. Its terms of use say how the price is built: tests used, positions, hiring and your employee count, with extra fees if testing runs past your tier.
Learn moreRecruit CRM pricing
Recruit CRM now prints $95, $135 and $215 per user a month, but AI Candidate Matching and AI Sourcing moved to a shared credit pool, so the seat price is not the full price of using its AI.
Learn moreCrelate pricing
Crelate publishes two rates on its pricing page and marks the top two tiers Custom. Its own structured data puts a floor under both: $149 and $299 per user. The contract adds an automatic renewal increase most buyers never see before signing.
Learn moreRecruiterflow pricing
Recruiterflow publishes one rate and hides the cheaper one in JavaScript. The card says $149 per user; the annual price is $119, and it is not in the served HTML at all. Here is what each plan costs, and why the plan with the matching agent has no price.
Learn moreLoxo pricing
Loxo publishes two of its three rates. Almost every article about Loxo pricing quotes a third number that is not on the page any more. Here is what Loxo states today, where the stale figure comes from, and the one credit question the pricing page does not answer.
Learn moreCeipal pricing
Ceipal used to have a pricing page. It does not any more: the URL now redirects to the homepage. Here is what the company still states, what its own directory listing says, and why the per-user figures circulating elsewhere disagree with each other by a factor of two.
Learn moreSpark Hire pricing
Spark Hire publishes real rates, which already puts it ahead of most of this category. The figures need one correction and one warning: the headline rate is a 50-employee rate, and the AI resume review that sells the plan is capped by the year.
Learn moreLever pricing
Lever publishes no rate at all, so the useful question is what buyers actually pay and what the quote covers. Here is the contract data, the one plan Lever now sells, and the AI screening distinction almost every article gets wrong.
Learn moreManatal pricing
Manatal is one of the few applicant tracking systems that publishes a rate and puts AI candidate scoring on its cheapest paid plan. Here is every figure, in US dollars, with the caps that decide whether the entry tier fits you.
Learn moreZoho Recruit pricing
Zoho Recruit publishes two separate price lists, two sets of job caps, and an add-on sheet that never appears on the pricing page. All of it, in US dollars, with the tier that actually screens candidates marked.
Learn moreAshby pricing
Ashby publishes more of its price than almost any competitor, and more than most articles about it admit. The full Foundations band table, the AI credit arithmetic, and what sits outside the subscription.
Learn moreTestGorilla pricing
TestGorilla now sells two products, Gorilla Sourcing and Gorilla Assessments, and raised its entry prices. What each plan costs, what one assessed candidate costs, and where TestGorilla's own documents disagree about how many credits a candidate uses.
Learn moreJobvite pricing
Jobvite runs a pricing page with no prices on it, and no plan names either. What Jobvite ATS costs, the one directory rate that contradicts the vendor, and the questions that get you a real number.
Learn moreGreenhouse pricing
Greenhouse publishes three plan names and no rates. What the ATS actually costs, what verified buyer data shows, and why the estimate articles disagree with each other by thousands of dollars.
Learn moreATS pricing comparison
Twenty nine applicant tracking systems, the rates they actually publish, and the fourteen that will not give you a number without a sales call, plus what the AI sourcing and talent platforms beside them cost.
