JobAdder alternative
JobAdder is an agency ATS and CRM that does not publish per-user pricing; reported rates start around $160 per user per month and every plan goes to quote. Digital Arrow publishes its prices: $49, $189 and $499 per month flat.
JobAdder is a long-established recruitment platform, strongest in Australia and the UK, with a large integration marketplace. Its commercial model is quote-based, so a like-for-like comparison depends on the offer you are given.
Pricing side by side
JobAdder is sold per user, per month. Digital Arrow is sold flat, so the gap widens as a team grows and narrows as it shrinks.
