Zliptal vs Greenhouse: your questions
Why teams choose Zliptal over Greenhouse, and when they should not.
Greenhouse is built for companies running many interview loops, and its price and process reflect that. Zliptal is built for the opposite case: a small team whose bottleneck is reading applications. It scores every applicant against the job, explains the score, runs your pipeline and careers page, and costs $39/month with no sales process.
Greenhouse prices Core, Plus and Pro by quote, shaped by plan, hiring volume and complexity, so you cannot see a price before talking to sales. Zliptal publishes both plans: Pro at $39/month and Max at $59/month, with unlimited jobs, candidates and team members.
Yes. Greenhouse is sold through a demo and a sales-led rollout, and some automation such as auto-reject starts on Plus. With Zliptal you sign up, post a job and your careers page goes live the same day.
Not yet. Zliptal focuses on scoring applicants, running the pipeline and scheduling interviews on Google Calendar. If scorecards for every interviewer are central to how you hire, Greenhouse is the closer match today.
Stay with Greenhouse if your process depends on structured interviewing: interview kits, scorecards, approval chains or its 400+ integrations. Zliptal does not have those yet. If your real problem is triaging applicants quickly and affordably, Zliptal fits better.
Yes. There is no self-serve import yet, so the simplest path is to start new roles in Zliptal and let Greenhouse finish the roles already in progress. Email us and we will help you get set up.
