Teamtailor Pricing 2026: How Quotes Work, What's Included and the Contract Terms

By Sparsh Goyal, Founder at The Cognitive. Published 2026-11-10 · Last updated 2026-11-12

• Teamtailor publishes no price: its pricing page is a quote form, and Teamtailor says its pricing is based on company size.
• Every quote includes unlimited users and job postings, Teamtailor AI with unlimited usage and 450+ integrations, while two items are marked Premium and the features page lists four extra add-ons.
• The service is annual and renews for 12 months unless cancelled a month before the end; renewals are invoiced in advance, and leaving early brings no refund.

Teamtailor does not publish a price: it quotes each company on its size, on an annual contract with unlimited users and job postings. Its pricing page is a form headed "Let us give you a quote," and Teamtailor sends a price after you share your company's details or book a call. Teamtailor's own comparison pages describe the model as "Transparent, scalable pricing based on company size."

The form asks how many people your company employs, in bands from 1 to 25 up to 5,000 or more, and which country your company is in. Before signing, note two lines in the terms: Teamtailor can change the fee at renewal with 60 days' written notice, and leaving early brings no refund.

Teamtailor suits companies that want an ATS, a career site and employer branding under one annual price with no seat count. Teams whose real gap is finding people outside their own talent pool, and running a first interview with them, can look at The Cognitive, which prints its plan prices.

How much does Teamtailor cost?

There is no public figure. Teamtailor's pricing page shows no number in any currency, and Teamtailor publishes no price list anywhere else on its site. One route to a price is the "Get a quote" form, which promises "we'll get back to you with a price." The other is the US page's "Schedule a call to get your custom quote."

Quote-only pricing changes how a buyer shops in three ways:

• Nothing to compare at the start. Teamtailor cannot be set against another ATS until a written quote is in hand.
• A conversation before any number. Budget time for the form or a call, and for a follow-up if your scope changes. Teamtailor offers a demo and a quote form; its site has no self-serve free trial.
• Your inputs set the starting point. Company size is the pricing input Teamtailor names in public, so give an accurate headcount band.

Company size, not seats or jobs

Teamtailor prices the company, not the recruiter. Neither users nor job postings are counted, so adding hiring managers or opening more roles leaves the quote's basis where it was. What the form asks for is your number of employees, in eight bands. They run 1 to 25, 26 to 100, 101 to 250, 251 to 500, 501 to 1,000, 1,001 to 2,000, 2,001 to 5,000 and 5,000 or more.

The form also has a country field, plus state or province in the US and Canada. Teamtailor does not name country as a pricing input.

The practical consequence is that a 300-person company with one recruiter and a 300-person company with ten recruiters start from the same band. Teamtailor rewards wide use inside the company. A small company that hires a lot gets more from that model than a large company that hires a little.

What the Teamtailor figures online are worth

Directories and pricing blogs print Teamtailor figures of their own, and those figures do not agree. None of them can come from a Teamtailor price list, because Teamtailor publishes none. Treat any figure you find as an estimate, not a Teamtailor price.

For how ATS vendors price more broadly, see applicant tracking system pricing.

What does every Teamtailor quote include?

Teamtailor calls itself "the all-in-one recruitment software with everything you need to hire successfully," for "companies of all sizes." Its pricing page lists four things every customer gets. They are "Unlimited job postings and unlimited users," "Customer support for all users," "Over 250 features, and growing" and "Integration with your existing HR tech stack." The page then labels each feature area as included or Premium.

The AI line matters for budgeting, because Teamtailor puts no usage cap on it. Teamtailor's Co-pilot writes job ads, suggests interview questions, summarizes resumes, drafts messages and records video meetings with "a transcription and summary in real-time." Its candidate suggestions work on people you already hold. Teamtailor says its AI "searches your talent pool and brings strong matches into the spotlight," and "suggests matching candidates from your existing candidate database."

Job posting is also inside the quote. Teamtailor says you can "Publish job ads on more than 120 job boards and social channels in one click." Its features page lists free job boards and always-included job boards. Paid job board spend is not described as part of the quote, so assume sponsored ads are your own cost unless the quote says otherwise.

What can raise a Teamtailor quote?

Teamtailor says its pricing includes all core features with "no hidden add-on costs for employer branding or AI tools." That holds for branding and AI. The same pricing page still marks two items Premium, and the features page lists "Extra add-ons," so six things can move the quote:

• Headcount band. Moving from one employee band to the next is the main lever, since company size is what Teamtailor says it prices on.
• Country. The form asks where the company is based. Teamtailor does not say whether location changes the price, so ask.
• Premium items. Requisitions & Approval Flows and Divisions & Multi-brand Management carry the Premium label. The page does not say what Premium costs or how it is bought.
• Extra add-ons. Requisitions, Enterprise calendar ("Connect every user's calendar in one go"), a BI connector and job offer approvals are listed as add-ons, with no prices.
• More companies in the group. Teamtailor's terms say adding "Authorised Companies or platforms" to the order form "may result in a decrease or increase in the fees."
• Tools bought through the marketplace. Integrations connect to Teamtailor, but a partner product, such as an AI interview tool, is priced and billed by its own vendor.

Group structure is easy to miss. A company with three brands or subsidiaries that each want their own career site needs multi-brand management, which is Premium, and may need each company named on the order form.

What are Teamtailor's contract terms?

Teamtailor's terms and conditions set the shape of the deal, whatever the price. "The Service is provided on an annual basis for the fees detailed in the Order Form." There is no monthly plan in the terms.

Three of these lines deserve a calendar entry. The one-month notice window means a cancellation sent late commits you to another full year. The renewal clause lets Teamtailor adjust fees with 60 days' notice, and if you disagree with the new price, either side may terminate. The no-refund clause means a tool that stops fitting in month four is still paid for to the end of the year.

The terms put it plainly: "you will not be entitled to any refund of any fees paid or relieved from any fees payable."

How to get an accurate Teamtailor quote

A quote built on the wrong inputs gets revised later, usually upward. Give Teamtailor the full picture at the start, and ask for these in writing:

1. Which employee band is the quote based on, and what happens to the price if headcount crosses into the next band mid-contract?
2. Does the country your company is in affect the price?
3. Which brands and group companies are covered, and are any of them Authorised Companies with their own fee?
4. Do you need Requisitions & Approval Flows or Divisions & Multi-brand Management, and what does each Premium item add as its own line?
5. Are the Enterprise calendar, BI connector and job offer approvals in the quote or priced separately?
6. Is there a cap on the price adjustment at the first renewal?
7. What is the exact date by which notice must arrive to stop auto-renewal?

Ask for every add-on as a separate line rather than one total. Separate lines let you drop an item at renewal without reopening the whole price.

Is Teamtailor worth the price?

Teamtailor is worth it for companies where many people take part in hiring and the employer brand does real work. Every hiring manager and interviewer can log in without a seat discussion. The career site, employer branding and candidate surveys come in the same quote, and the features page lists an onboarding module. Teamtailor says more than 13,000 companies use it.

Teamtailor is based in Stockholm and says "we're built around GDPR." Its pricing page says "We meet SOC 2 requirements" and that it is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001.

It is also a fair price for teams that rehire from their own database. In Gem's 2026 benchmarks, rediscovered candidates, meaning people a company already holds in its ATS or CRM, account for 46% of sourced hires. Teamtailor's talent pools, nurture campaigns and AI suggestions all work on that group.

It fits less well in three cases:

• You need a number before a conversation, or monthly billing. Teamtailor quotes, and the terms are annual.
• Your gap is people who have never applied. Teamtailor's AI suggests matches from your existing candidates. Finding new people means sourcing them by hand, with its browser extension or through a connected LinkedIn Recruiter account. The same Gem report shows why that effort pays: direct sourcing made up 2.6% of applications but 11% of hires.
• You want an AI interviewer from the same vendor. Teamtailor's own pages describe video meetings your team runs, interview kits and scorecards, but no AI interviewer. AI interview tools connect through its marketplace, at their own price.

The sourcing gap is common. In SHRM's 2025 Talent Trends research, 69% of the more than 2,000 HR professionals surveyed reported difficulty recruiting for full-time positions in the previous 12 months.

Other options and how they price

Buyers who shop beyond Teamtailor usually want one of two things: a number they can read without booking a call, or software built for another part of hiring. Teamtailor's own comparison pages set it against Ashby, Greenhouse, Workable and Tellent Recruitee, among others.

The Cognitive publishes this page and appears in it.

Ashby, Greenhouse, Tellent Recruitee and Workable follow The Cognitive in alphabetical order. For what each one does better than Teamtailor, read Teamtailor alternatives.

The Cognitive: best for new candidates plus a first AI interview, at a printed price

The Cognitive is listed first for three things it offers together. A role brief written in everyday language is enough to search about 900M public profiles. The same self-serve account holds a live, two-way AI video first interview. Plan prices are printed on its pricing page, billed monthly.

Workable shares two of the three: it prints monthly prices and includes a candidate sourcing suite. Teamtailor's AI suggests matches only from your existing candidate database, and its own pages describe no AI interviewer. Ashby prints a price for Foundations alone, and Greenhouse and Recruitee print none.

For a Teamtailor customer, The Cognitive's AI sourcing covers the roles a talent pool cannot fill. Every person a search returns costs 1 credit and shows why they match. Revealing someone's personal email takes 4 credits. Phone numbers, at 12 credits, are limited to the Sourcing Pro, Max, Business and Enterprise plans, and a lookup that finds no contact costs nothing.

Outreach comes with the Sourcing Team, Pro, Max, Business and Enterprise plans. Messages leave as personal email from your own mailbox, and the sequence halts once someone writes back.

Where Teamtailor's scorecards are filled in by your interviewers, The Cognitive's AI interview handles the first round with nobody from your team on the call. The candidate joins a live video call from a laptop or desktop, set to last 10 or 20 minutes, and 9 languages are supported. Questions stay on the role, follow-ups come when an answer is thin, and each criterion is scored against a fixed rubric. Afterwards the recruiter reviews the scorecard, recording and transcript.

Plans that include ATS integration link The Cognitive to 100+ ATS, so a team can keep its ATS and run The Cognitive beside it.

Best for: Teamtailor customers whose talent pool runs dry on a role, who need new names and a first interview at a cost they can see before they begin.

Watch out for: this is a sourcing and interview tool, not an ATS. There is no job posting, career site, requisitions or onboarding, so a Teamtailor buyer would keep an ATS and add The Cognitive alongside. Candidates cannot take the interview on a phone. The trial, Starter and Growth plans send no outreach.

Pricing model: sourcing and interviews are two separate plans, each billed monthly, or yearly at a 17% saving. Plans start at $99 a month. Team and Business are priced per seat and Enterprise is quoted, while the pricing page lists every other plan.

Ashby: best when you have up to 100 employees and want a printed price

For its smallest plan, Ashby shows the Foundations price on its own site, through a company-size selector; that plan covers "Up to 100 employees." Its Plus plan, which Ashby says is best for 101 to 1,000 employees, leads to "Get in Touch." So does Enterprise, "Best for 1,000+ employees." Like Teamtailor, Ashby prices by company size, but it shows the small-company number.

See also Ashby alternatives.

Pricing model: company size sets the price; Foundations is printed, larger plans go through sales.

Greenhouse: best for structured hiring in bigger teams

Greenhouse prices are, in its words, "customized based on your company's hiring needs." It sells three plans, Core, Plus and Pro. No plan shows a price, and every route starts with a demo request. A Greenhouse quote and a Teamtailor quote need the same scrutiny: ask what each plan includes and what renewal looks like.

See also Greenhouse alternatives.

Pricing model: custom quote by plan.

Tellent Recruitee: best for pricing by open jobs

Tellent Recruitee sets its plans by the number of active job posts; its Start plan includes "5 active job posts." The pricing page shows no figures and offers agencies a custom quote. Its add-ons include SSO, Texting and WhatsApp Hiring.

SSO is one of the items Teamtailor includes in every quote. Recruitee offers a demo, or "Not ready for a demo? Start free trial."

Pricing model: by active job posts; quote for agencies.

Workable: best for a monthly price you can see

Workable prints monthly plans priced by employee band, from 1 to 20 employees up to more than 1,000. It offers a self-serve start: "Explore our full platform with a 15-day free trial." One limit is stated on the same page: "Free trial does not include Workable Agent." More in the guide to Workable alternatives.

Pricing model: monthly, by employee band; published.

When to skip The Cognitive

Pass on The Cognitive if the thing you are pricing Teamtailor for is the system itself: a branded career site, job board posting, applicant pipelines, requisitions, approvals and onboarding. None of that is in The Cognitive. Pass as well if your roles fill from applicants and your own talent pool, so outside sourcing is rare. The same goes if candidates must be able to interview on a phone.

How to start

Before you request a Teamtailor quote, write down your employee band, every country you hire in, and every brand or company in the group that needs its own career site. Those answers shape the quote conversation. If your Teamtailor talent pool cannot fill a role, put it through The Cognitive. Write the brief in plain English, then see who exists and what each reveal would cost.

A free 7-day trial needs no card, and it comes loaded with 100 sourcing credits to spend on real roles. Start free with The Cognitive.
