## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For most small businesses I'd start with **Breezy HR** or **JazzHR**. Choose **Workable** if you have money to spend and want the most complete tool.
> 
> Many of the "best ATS" lists I found are written by ATS companies that rank their own product first (Spark Hire, MokaHR, JuggleHire, Pinpoint). I didn't count those self-rankings. The prices below come from third-party pricing pages as of 2026, so check them on each vendor's site before you buy.
> 
> 1. **Breezy HR**: Best place to start. It's easy to learn, has a drag-and-drop hiring pipeline, and posts to 50+ job boards in one click. It includes video interviews and doesn't charge per user. There's a free plan for one open job, then $189/mo (Startup) or $329/mo (Growth), billed monthly.

> 2. **JazzHR**: The cheapest full-featured option. Hero is about $75/mo but allows only 3 open jobs; Plus is $269/mo and Pro is $420/mo. You pay a flat rate, not per user. The catch is that it only offers annual billing. ([100hires](https://100hires.com/jazzhr-vs-bamboohr.html), [Jug

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
