Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:\n\n**1. Ashby** - My default pick for most remote startups and scale-ups (roughly 10-500 people). Best-in-class analytics out of the box, genuinely good async scheduling across time zones, and structured pipelines that work when no one is in the same room. There's a free tier under ~10 employees, and Growth plans run ~$300-400/mo, which is a lot of ATS for the money. ([pricing overview](https://costbench.com/software/ai-recruiting/ashby), [Ashby vs Greenhouse](https://www.mokahr.io/articles/en/compare/ashby-vs-greenhouse))\n\n**2. Greenhouse** - The pick when you have a dedicated recruiting team and compliance pressure. Its structured interview kits and scorecards are the industry template for reducing bias, and built-in EEOC/global compliance reporting matters when you're hiring across jurisdictions. The catch is cost: ~$6,500/yr entry, and $20k", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
