JazzHR is a small-team ATS with flat published pricing from $110 a month, capped by how many jobs you have open rather than by headcount - so unlike most of this category, growing your team doesn’t raise the bill. Dover is a free, easy-to-use ATS built for startups, with unlimited jobs and users. Here’s the full breakdown of what each costs, where each is stronger, and how to tell which one makes sense for you.
Key takeaways
- Dover's ATS has a free plan with unlimited jobs and users. Dover's Premium plan is $199/mo with no contracts - turn it on when you want more features.
- The JazzHR Hero plan is $110/mo, Plus is $350/mo, and Pro is $549/mo. All three include unlimited users. Paying yearly saves up to 24%.
- JazzHR prices by job count, not headcount. That's genuinely better than the headcount bands most competitors use - you pay for hiring, not for growing. The JazzHR Plus plan is capped at 200 active jobs.
- The JazzHR Hero plan is cheap because it's thin. Structured interviews, assessments, AI matching, and reporting all start on the JazzHR Plus plan at $350/mo. Dover includes scorecards and interview plans on its free plan.
- Dover posts to more job boards - 100+ with your choice of where to post, against JazzHR's syndication to six major boards.
- The JazzHR Pro plan has a custom report builder; Dover doesn't. Advanced Visual Reporting, the custom reports builder, and offers with eSignatures are on JazzHR Pro at $549/mo, or usage-billed add-ons below it.
Pricing
Dover's ATS is available for free with unlimited seats and jobs. Dover's Premium plan is no-contract and flexible - so when you need premium features, you can turn it on, and turn it off when you don't need the features or aren't currently hiring. JazzHR publishes flat prices from $110/month, with unlimited users on every plan but a limit on how many jobs you can have open.
JazzHR's model is the inverse of most of this category: flat pricing with unlimited users, capped by open jobs rather than banded by headcount. Nothing gets more expensive because you grew, which is a genuinely fairer deal than Workable's or Ashby's headcount bands. The catch is what Hero leaves out - structured interviews, assessments, AI matching, and reporting all start on Plus at $350/mo. Dover has a free plan with unlimited jobs and users, and Premium available when you want more.

Features
Both products are aimed at small teams rather than enterprises, and both cover the ATS fundamentals - pipelines, job posting, scheduling, candidate records, and a CRM. The differences come down to whether a job cap suits how you hire, and what you need beyond the basics.

JazzHR leads on custom reporting, assessments, and compliance tracking, and its flat pricing with unlimited users is a genuinely fair model - nothing costs more because you grew. Dover leads on cost, job board reach, sourcing, and not capping your open roles. The deciding question is what you need beyond a pipeline. JazzHR Hero at $110/mo is the cheapest paid plan here, but it's thin - structured interviews, assessments, AI matching, and reporting don't arrive until JazzHR Plus at $350/mo. Dover's free plan includes all of that reporting, scorecards, and interview plans at no cost, so the honest comparison is Dover's free plan against JazzHR Plus.

Which ATS fits
Which software makes sense for your company and budget?
Both are small-team products with published pricing, which makes this an unusually clean comparison. It comes down to whether you hire steadily at low volume, or in bursts - and whether you need a custom report builder.
Dover fits
Companies whose hiring comes in bursts
- Free - the ATS is free, with premium features available when you want them
- No job cap - open as many roles as you need, on any plan, including free
- The toolkit on the free plan - scorecards and interview plans free, rather than waiting for a $350/mo tier
- 100+ job boards - far wider distribution, and you pick where each job goes
- Sourcing included - outbound sourcing on the free plan, not just an inbound funnel
- Standard reporting - the hiring metrics most teams act on, without a report builder to learn
You want unlimited roles open when you're hiring and no bill when you're not.
JazzHR fits
Companies hiring a few roles a year, steadily
- A modest, predictable budget - $110/mo for JazzHR Hero up to $549/mo for JazzHR Pro, flat and published
- A job cap to plan around - JazzHR Hero is limited to a handful of postings; Plus allows up to 200 active jobs
- The JazzHR Plus plan, realistically - structured interviews, assessments, AI matching, and reporting all start at $350/mo
- Six major job boards - one-click syndication to Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, Facebook
- Inbound hiring - a strong applicant funnel, with LinkedIn Recruiter alongside for outbound
- Custom reporting - a report builder, workflow reports, and EEO and adverse impact tracking on JazzHR Pro
You hire at low, predictable volume and want compliance reporting and assessments.

FAQ
How much does JazzHR cost?
JazzHR publishes three plans, with unlimited users on all three. Billed monthly they are Hero at $110/mo, Plus at $350/mo, and Pro at $549/mo. Paying yearly saves up to 24%: $1,000, $3,480, and $5,508 a year respectively. Advanced Visual Reporting and Offers & eSignatures are add-ons below the Pro plan, and some add-ons bill on usage rather than a flat monthly fee.
How many jobs can you post on JazzHR?
The Plus plan allows up to 200 active jobs, and Pro includes everything in Plus. Hero is the limited one - it covers posting and syndication to free job boards but not the volume the higher tiers allow, and JazzHR notes that posting availability is subject to its own eligibility criteria and job board partner restrictions. Dover has no job limit on any plan, including the free plan.
Does JazzHR have a free plan?
No. JazzHR's lowest plan is $110/month and its pricing page lists no free plan and no free trial. Dover's free plan includes candidate tracking and CRM, 100+ job boards, custom interview plans, scorecards, reporting, and sourcing, with unlimited jobs and users.
Dover vs JazzHR - which is cheaper?
Dover. Dover's free plan is a full ATS - pipelines, CRM, 100+ job boards, scorecards, interview plans, reporting, and sourcing - at no cost, where JazzHR's cheapest plan is $110/mo. On the paid tiers it's still Dover: JazzHR Hero looks cheaper at $110/mo than Dover's $199/mo Premium plan, but Hero has no structured interviews, assessments, AI matching, or reporting. The plan that matches what Dover gives you is JazzHR Plus at $350/mo.
Does Dover have custom reporting like JazzHR Pro?
Not today. Dover gives you standard hiring reports and analytics covering your pipeline and funnel. JazzHR's Pro plan at $549/mo includes Advanced Visual Reporting, a custom reports builder, and workflow reports, on top of the source and timing reports that start on Plus. If you need a report builder or formal compliance reporting, that's a genuine reason to pay for JazzHR.
How many job boards does JazzHR post to?
JazzHR advertises one-click syndication to six major boards - Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, and Facebook - with premium listings available as a paid upgrade. Dover posts to 100+ job boards and lets you choose where each job goes.
What are JazzHR's pros and cons for a startup?
Pros: published flat pricing from $110/mo, unlimited users on every plan, pricing keyed to open jobs rather than headcount so growing costs nothing extra, assessments and structured interviews from Plus, and a custom report builder on Pro. Cons: no free plan or listed trial, a thin entry tier that omits structured interviews and reporting, a job cap on Hero, only six job boards, no sourcing database, and no AI notetaker.
