How we evaluated Ashby

This review rests on 19 facts checked against Ashby’s official pricing pages and documentation, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score and the pros and cons use only those verified facts, as our methodology explains, and third-party ratings are quoted, never scored.

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.
