Per-user recruitment software costs spiral out of control as agencies grow. Discover how flat-rate pricing saves UK and US recruitment agencies thousands every year.
If you're running a recruitment agency with 5 or more recruiters, you've probably noticed something uncomfortable: your software bill grows every time you hire a new consultant. That's the per-seat pricing trap — and in 2026, thousands of agencies are finally escaping it.
Flat-rate pricing means one fixed monthly price for your whole team. Compare that to per-seat tools where costs multiply with every hire — at $41/user/month, just 5 users costs more per year than our Starter plan.
