How we evaluated Ashby
This review rests on the 19 facts this page shows, each checked against the source listed under “Sources”, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score uses only those verified facts, as our methodology explains; third-party ratings, where we quote them, never count in the score.
Our verdict
Ashby suits fast-growing companies that want one recruiting system for applicant tracking, outbound sourcing, CRM, scheduling and analytics, priced by company size rather than per recruiter seat. Foundations costs $300 a month for 1–10 employees up to $900 for 76–100, with 10% off annual commitments. It is less suited to buyers over 100 employees who want a posted price, since Plus and Enterprise are quoted.
