How we evaluated Workable
This review rests on the 31 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
Workable fits small and mid-size employers that hire often and want job posting, screening and AI sourcing in one tool, with prices published by company size. HR is a second product with its own price, or a bundle with Recruiting. It is less suited to teams that must store HIPAA-regulated health data, which its terms do not allow, or that need single sign-on on the entry plan, since SSO comes only with Premier and Enterprise.
Strengths
Prices published by company size
Workable lists monthly prices for every size band up to 801-1,000 employees, with quotes above 1,000. Standard Recruiting runs from $299 per month at 1-20 employees to $2,799 at 801-1,000, billed annually.

Evidence: Starting base fee: $299/mo (billed annually)1
Add-ons cost extra on Standard
On Standard, texting is $89, video interviews $109 and assessments $59 per month, and Performance & Engagement adds $39 to HR, at 1-20 employees billed annually. Add-on prices rise with company size; Premier includes them.
Evidence

Monthly billing costs more
Standard Recruiting is $360 per month billed monthly, against $299 billed annually. Premier, at $599, and Enterprise, at $719, are annual only.
Evidence: Contract term: Monthly6
AI use beyond free credits
Beyond the 3,000 free credits, AI credits cost $0.095 to $0.12 each, in packs from $600. They are non-refundable and expire one year after purchase.
Evidence
Extra costs: Texting $89/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $105 monthly), Video interviews $109/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $130 monthly), Assessments $59/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $70 monthly), Performance & Engagement $39/month (Standard HR add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $50 monthly), Add-on prices rise with company size (e.g. texting $269/month at 101-200 employees, annual billing), Salary estimator (additional cost applies, price not published), AI credits beyond the 3,000 free: $0.12/credit (5,000, $600), $0.10/credit (10,000, $1,000), $0.095/credit (50,000, $4,750); non-refundable, expire 1 year from purchase, Renewal price adjustment of up to 5% per term, plus adjustment for company size at renewal1
SSO and health data limits
Single sign-on comes only with Premier and Enterprise. Less suited to health employers: the terms bar uploading HIPAA-regulated health information.
Evidence
Single sign-on: SAML, Okta, OneLogin, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Centrify, Auth0, PingFederate7
