# AI recruiting price workbook

Checked October 27, 2026. Metix AI editorial design. These are public observations and hypothetical calculations, not quotes or customer results.

1. Open ai-recruiting-price-evidence.csv in a spreadsheet. Retain the source, date and unresolved scope. Empty price cells mean unknown, never zero. Fetcher is a historical/migration entry and must not be included in a new-purchase shortlist.
2. Fix one workflow and region. Record workforce size, paid users, maximum concurrently open roles, months needed, retained ATS/tools and operator responsibilities. An ATS and a sourcing subscription do not deliver the same work.
3. In a copy, add required annual usage, add-ons, setup, service and tax amounts from applicable written terms. An unknown required charge leaves the total incomplete. Do not label a partial base fee as a full quote or a saving.
4. Compare the first invoice, minimum contractual commitment and 12-month base cost separately. ai-recruiting-budget-examples.csv contains reproducible examples: units times monthly equivalent times assumed months. Annual commitment paid monthly differs from both annual prepaid and cancellable monthly payment.
5. For varying role capacity, calculate each month's concurrently open positions separately and add those charges. Do not multiply total hires by a monthly position rate. The GoPerfect example keeps three positions open for every assumed month; it is not three hires.
6. Reopen official pages and obtain a dated quote before committing. Record country, currency, applicable SKU, billing term, included capacity, renewal, cancellation and any startup-offer expiry. A displayed 12-month estimate does not establish the minimum contract or upfront payment.

The examples exclude tax, overages, additional modules, retained subscriptions, implementation and staff time. Their workflow scopes differ, so the totals are not a ranking. The evidence CSV's annual-prepaid column is populated only where the captured source explicitly states an annual total. A quoted or annual-selection monthly equivalent is not silently converted into an upfront invoice.

Fetcher status was checked October 27; its historical plan prices remain dated October 15 in the historical owner. This workbook does not refresh those prices or infer refunds, data migration, balance transfer or new trial availability.
