Companies look past Greenhouse when quote-only pricing hides the cost, when texting, sourcing automation and the BI connector sit above the entry plan, or when a smaller team wants less configuration. Most move to Ashby or Lever for a comparable platform, or to Workable and Teamtailor for a simpler one.

Questions and answers
Can I export my candidate data from Greenhouse?
Yes, through the Harvest API, which exposes candidates, applications, attachments, jobs, stages and custom fields. Greenhouse's support documentation also describes a hired-candidate webhook for HRIS transfer. We found no documented one-click bulk export, so confirm the options for your plan with your account manager.
Is Harvest v1/v2 still available?
Greenhouse's documentation says Harvest v1 and v2 are deprecated and will be removed on August 31, 2026, with v3 as the replacement. Check the current docs before building an export, and use v3.
How much does Greenhouse cost compared with alternatives?
Greenhouse publishes no prices and sets cost by plan, hiring volume and organizational complexity. Rivals with published figures include Ashby from $400 a month, Workable from $299 a month and Breezy from $157 a month. Compare at your own headcount.
Which Greenhouse features need a higher plan?
Texting, Greenhouse Sourcing Automation and the Business Intelligence Connector start on Plus. Unlimited CRM events, audit log and developer sandbox start on Pro. Core covers CRM, interview kits and scorecards, scheduling, reporting and SSO.
Is there a free plan or trial to test a replacement?
Among the alternatives, Workable offers a 15-day trial, Breezy HR has a free-forever plan limited to one active position, and Zoho Recruit has a free plan for one active job. Ashby and Teamtailor direct buyers to a conversation first.
Do other ATS vendors share ownership?
Yes. Lever's site shows it as part of Employ Inc., and Jobvite's site names Employ Inc. as its owner. SmartRecruiters is owned by SAP. Check who owns a vendor before assuming the products will be kept separate.
