Zliptal vs Workable: your questions
Why teams choose Zliptal over Workable, and when they should not.
Workable's Standard plan starts at $299 a month billed annually for companies up to 20 people, and AI agent work is billed in credits on top. Zliptal is $39 a month for the Pro plan, with unlimited jobs, candidates and team members and an AI score on every applicant.
Workable's Standard plan is $299 a month billed annually ($360 billed monthly) for 1 to 20 employees and $419 a month billed annually for 21 to 50, with texting, video and assessments as add-ons. Zliptal is $39/month on Pro and $59/month on Max, whatever your headcount.
Both are quick to start, and Workable offers a 15-day trial where Zliptal does not. Zliptal has fewer settings to configure, so a small team can post a job and have scored applicants the same day.
Zliptal publishes jobs to your own job board and branded careers page, which is where most small teams start. It does not yet syndicate to hundreds of third-party job boards the way Workable does.
Stay with Workable if you need broad job-board posting, interview kits and scorecards, e-signed offers, a trial before buying, or its integration marketplace. Zliptal doesn't have those yet.
Yes. There is no self-serve import yet, so the simplest path is to start new roles in Zliptal and let Workable finish the roles already in progress. Email us and we will help you get set up.
