Tellent Pricing 2026

Tellent Recruitee (ATS) starts at $292/month for the Start plan with 5 job posts, and $371/month for the Advance plan with unlimited job posts. Tellent HR modules (Manage HRIS and Grow Performance) each start at $111/month. All pricing scales based on employee count, and annual billing saves 20%.

No, Tellent does not offer a free plan. They provide an 18-day free trial for both the Recruitee ATS and HR modules so teams can evaluate the platform before committing.

Tellent is the unified parent brand. Recruitee (now Tellent Recruitee) is the ATS/applicant tracking module. KiwiHR (now Tellent HR) is the HRIS and performance management module. The three former brands merged into Tellent in 2026.

Yes, Tellent's modules are sold independently. You can purchase just the ATS (Recruitee), just the HRIS (Manage), just Performance Management (Grow), or any combination. Each module has its own pricing.

Yes, Tellent offers a 20% discount for annual billing compared to monthly billing across all products. The published prices of $292/month (Start) and $371/month (Advance) reflect annual billing rates.

No, Tellent does not offer a subscription pause option. If you cancel your subscription, your account data and recruiting processes may be deleted, requiring you to start from scratch if you resume hiring later. This makes Tellent poorly suited for companies with seasonal or intermittent hiring needs.

Tellent provides vague information about data retention after cancellation. Users report that account data and processes are likely deleted upon cancellation, with no clear archival or export options. At least one user reported receiving invoices for new billing periods weeks after receiving cancellation and data deletion confirmations.

No, Tellent does not issue refunds for unused service periods. Multiple users report that support response times can be slow enough that by the time you get answers about cancellation, a new billing cycle has started, making refunds impossible.

Adding job slots can be expensive with little flexibility. One user reported being quoted 827 euros to temporarily add just 2 additional job postings to their account. There appears to be no short-term or flexible pricing for temporary increases in job slot needs.

Tellent offers two HR module plans and three ATS (Recruitee) plans. The HR Manage (HRIS) and HR Grow (Performance) plans each start at $111/month ($1,332/year). For recruiting, the Recruitee Start (ATS) plan is $292/month ($3,504/year), the Recruitee Advance (ATS) plan is $371/month ($4,452/year), and the Recruitee Optimize (ATS) plan is custom-priced.

User sentiment is mixed. Some enterprise users report strong feature depth and support. However, many users describe the platform as overpriced relative to value, with inflexible add-on pricing and a difficult cancellation process. Small teams (under 10 people) in particular report being pushed into plans with more features than needed.

Based on user reports, adding extra job slots typically requires an expensive plan upgrade or add-on purchase rather than a flexible per-slot fee. One user reported being quoted over €827 to temporarily add two extra job slots. Negotiate this upfront during contract discussions.

Tellent is the parent brand that now operates both Recruitee (ATS) and the platform formerly known as Kiwi HR (HRIS/Performance). Users who were on either legacy platform have been migrated to the Tellent umbrella.

Yes. Adding job slots beyond your plan's included limit mid-contract incurs significant additional cost. One reviewer reported being quoted €827 to temporarily add just two extra job slots. To avoid surprise costs, negotiate your expected peak job slot count into the base contract before signing.

No. Tellent does not offer phone support. All support is handled via email, with users reporting response times averaging multiple days per reply. Some users report tickets going unresolved for months. This is a significant operational consideration for teams that require fast issue resolution.

Tellent offers an 18-day free trial with full access to one module at a time — either a Recruitee ATS module or an HR module, not both simultaneously. Onboarding during the trial is largely automated rather than human-assisted. If you want to evaluate multiple modules, you would need to run separate trials sequentially.

Reviewers report limited plan flexibility — small companies have been told they must purchase the highest-tier plan even when only basic features are required, and advanced features are gated behind more expensive tiers. The Recruitee Start (ATS) plan at $292/month ($3,504/year) is the lowest-priced ATS entry point; confirm its feature set meets your specific needs before committing to an annual contract.

User reports suggest downgrading is not possible mid-contract. One reviewer described being locked into an annual contract with no flexibility, and another noted 'problems with downgrade plans' as a key concern. If plan flexibility matters, request explicit downgrade rights in your contract before signing.

Based on user reports, Tellent does not issue refunds. Users report that by the time customer support responds to cancellation inquiries, a new billing cycle has already started, and refunds are denied even for periods of zero product use.

Users report difficulty obtaining a basic plan for small teams. A reviewer operating a 2-person consultancy reported being directed to the highest-tier plan despite needing only basic functionality. When evaluating, confirm with sales exactly which plan — HR Manage (HRIS) at $111/month or Recruitee Start (ATS) at $292/month — covers your specific use case before committing to an annual contract.
