Workable Pricing: $299 to $719, Plus AI Credits
Workable publishes three plans for a company of up to 20 employees: Standard at $299 a month, Premier at $599, and Enterprise at $719. Above 20 employees the price moves through nine bands, up to 1,000+.
Those are the numbers on the page. Two things sit on top of them, and for most buyers they matter more than the plan choice.
The three plans at the entry band
| Standard | Premier | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per month | $299 | $599 | $719 |
| Per year | $3,588 | $7,188 | $8,628 |
Note that $299 × 12 is exactly $3,588. The monthly and annual figures Workable shows are the same rate expressed two ways, so the published number is the annual rate. The “save 20%” applies against paying month to month, which is a different, higher figure than the one on the card.
The gap between the plans is lopsided
Standard to Premier is $300 a month. Premier to Enterprise is $120.
The big money is in the first step, and what it buys is bundling. On Standard, texting, video interviews and assessments are add-ons. On Premier they are included, along with referrals and Performance & Engagement.
| Add-on | Standard | Premier |
|---|---|---|
| Texting | +$89/mo | Included |
| Video interviews | +$109/mo | Included |
| Assessments | +$59/mo | Included |
| Performance & Engagement | +$39/mo | Included |
Those four add-ons total $296 a month, which is almost exactly the $300 gap between Standard and Premier. Workable has priced the upgrade so that buying all four on Standard costs the same as moving to Premier.
That makes the decision unusually clean. If you want three or four of them, take Premier. If you want one or two, stay on Standard and add them. Texting plus video interviews on Standard is $497, still below Premier.
The AI credits are a separate budget
Workable Agent sources, screens and qualifies candidates, and it runs on credits rather than being included in a plan. Every paid account starts with 3,000 free AI credits, then:
| Credits | Rate | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | $0.12 | $600 |
| 10,000 | $0.10 | $1,000 |
| 50,000 | $0.095 | $4,750 |
The unit price falls with volume, but the entry purchase is $600, which is two months of Standard. Credits are consumed per candidate the agent handles, so the cost scales with applicant flow rather than headcount, and applicant flow is the number least under your control.
For a company on Standard at $299 running the agent at 5,000 credits a quarter, the agent costs roughly two-thirds as much as the ATS.
Employee bands, not recruiter seats
Workable prices on company size, not on how many people use it. The bands run 1-20, 21-50, 51-100, 101-200, 201-400, 401-600, 601-800, 801-1000 and 1000+.
This is the right model if you have a small hiring team at a growing company, and the wrong one if you are an agency or a company that hires in bursts. Your bill goes up when you grow, not when you hire, and it does not come down between roles.
Active jobs are unlimited on all plans, subject to fair usage.
What is included everywhere
Self-service employee profiles, searchable company files, an employee directory and an org chart are on every plan. So is the split between the recruiting side (sourcing, ATS, hiring plan, nine native languages, custom report builder, additional permission sets) and the HR side (HRIS, employee onboarding, time off management, time tracking, e-signatures, payroll preparation and payroll integrations).
Bundling recruiting and HR together is where Workable claims up to 20% saving, which is the second place that “up to 20%” appears on the page. They are two different discounts and they are easy to conflate.
Where the credits run out
Workable’s agent is priced per candidate handled, which is honest, and it is also the line item that grows exactly when hiring gets hard.
The work that surrounds hiring is priced differently again, because it mostly is not priced at all. Scheduling a panel across four calendars. Chasing the hiring manager who has not left feedback. Telling twelve candidates the role is on hold. Every one of those is an inbox and a calendar problem, and every one lands on a coordinator.
Carly is built for that stretch. Zapier-style workflows are free, so interview reminders, feedback nudges and candidate follow-ups cost nothing to run and do not draw down a credit balance. Booking pages and connected calendars are unlimited, so a candidate picks a slot across the panel’s availability instead of trading emails. Every Gmail and Outlook account connects as its own authorized connection, so messages go out from the recruiter’s own address. The agent that reads the thread, drafts the reply and books the interview starts at $35 a month rather than per employee, and Carly connects to thousands of apps, Workable included, so the pipeline and the scorecards stay in the ATS.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
