Here's what I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Ashby** - My default recommendation for most remote startups and scaleups (roughly 10-500 people). Best-in-class scheduling (handles multi-time-zone panels and interviewer load-balancing better than anything else), analytics that are genuinely built in rather than bolted on, and transparent pricing - free under ~10 employees, then roughly $300-400/month on the Growth tier, around $4.8k/year at the entry tier. No sales-quote dance. ([pricing comparison](https://yardstick.team/ats-pricing-comparison), [Ashby cost breakdown](https://costbench.com/software/ai-recruiting/ashby))\n\n**2. Greenhouse** - What I'd pick if you're 200+ people, hiring at volume, and need structured hiring enforced as policy. Interview kits, scorecards, and anonymized screening are the strongest guardrails against the sloppy, vibes-based hiring that remote orgs are especially prone to.
