<\/p>\n

Workable<\/a> has three pricing plans<\/strong>: Paygo, Standard, and Premier. You can choose the plan that works best for your business.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Paygo plan is a good choice if you’re starting and don’t need a lot of functionality. The $129\/month option gives you unlimited job listings, but it doesn’t include invoicing or time tracking. If you want to be able to invoice clients and track time spent on projects, you’ll have to upgrade to one of the premium plans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Workable is very expensive compared to all ATSs!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

If you choose the pay per job plan, which costs $279\/month, you’ll get invoicing and time tracking features and unlimited job listings. This plan is great for people who want ultimate flexibility and need some basic accounting functions built into their workflow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Premier plan is best suited for freelancers who are serious about their businesses and want comprehensive tools to help them quickly grow while staying organized (and not missing any deadlines). This $659\/month option gives users all of the Workable features\u2014including unlimited job listings, invoicing tools, and timesheets\u2014and adds extra bells and whistles like project management tools. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Workable is not a free ATS<\/strong>\u2014it is paid by the month or year. If you only need it for a few months or don’t want to commit to paying for an entire year at once, this might not be the best option.<\/p>\n
