JobScout Pricing Overview

Breaking Down JobScout Pricing in Plain Terms

Look, pricing can be a headache, especially when AI and automation are involved. But we’ve built JobScout’s pricing to be as clear as possible because nobody wants surprises when they’re already juggling job hunting or hiring. From our experience, people appreciate knowing exactly what they’re paying for upfront—no hidden fees, no confusing fine print.

Our platform covers both AI-driven job matching and interview automation, balancing features so employers and candidates get the most value. Whether you’re a job seeker or recruiter, our pricing reflects practical tools designed to save you time and improve outcomes.

What You Get Free Versus Paid

Honestly, our free tier isn’t just a token offer. You can actually get meaningful job matches and basic interview scheduling without spending a dime. But here’s the thing: once you see what the paid plans unlock, it’s clear why upgrading makes sense for most users.

• Free users get up to 10 AI-generated matches monthly plus basic interview scheduling.
• Paid plans open up unlimited matching, priority visibility, and advanced automation features.
• They also sync with LinkedIn and your calendar, saving you time organizing interviews.

From what users tell us, the jump from free to paid changes how much you can do and how fast you find the right fit.

Billing Cycles, Discounts, and Flexibility

We get it—budgeting matters. That’s why we offer multiple billing options and discounts for longer commitments.

For example, the Professional plan costs $39/month, but if you pay annually, you’re effectively paying about $31.20/month. That’s almost $94 saved in a year, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Also, switching plans is straightforward. Upgrade or downgrade anytime, and charges are prorated automatically. So if your job search heats up, you can upgrade quickly with no hassle.

Transparency on Extra Fees and Hidden Costs

We believe in being upfront. Here’s what we DON’T charge extra for:

• Profile setup and optimization
• Standard integrations like LinkedIn and calendar syncing
• Basic customer support
• Platform updates and new features
• Data export if you decide to leave

That said, some optional advanced services come with fees:

• Premium integrations with specialized HR software
• Custom API development
• On-site training for larger teams
• Expedited customer support (same-day response)

The key is these extras are optional and clearly communicated so you’re never caught off guard.

Comparing Value Across Our Plans

Here’s a quick way to think about which plan fits your situation:

• Free Plan: Great for casual exploration and testing the platform.
• Basic Plan: Good if you’re passively looking while employed.
• Professional Plan: Ideal for active job seekers who want unlimited matches and advanced tools.
• Executive Plan: Suits senior roles and highly competitive fields with dedicated support.

For employers, the ROI is often clear—especially when you consider how a single good hire can boost productivity by tens of thousands of dollars.

Payment Methods and Security You Can Trust

We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. For enterprise clients, purchase orders and invoicing are available. Your payment info is encrypted and PCI compliant, because we know how sensitive this is.

Updating your payment method is easy—just head to your account settings. Plus, if there’s an issue with your card, we’ll retry payments automatically a few times before pausing service, giving you time to fix things without losing access.

Refunds, Cancellation, and Your Control

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans—no questions asked. If you cancel after that, your service continues until the end of the billing cycle, then stops. Your data remains accessible for 30 days in case you want to reactivate.

Most people cancel because they landed a job or aren’t actively using the platform anymore, which is exactly what we want to hear.

Special Pricing Programs to Fit Different Needs

We also offer discounts because we know everyone’s situation is different:

• Student Discount: 50% off individual plans with a valid .edu email
• Military/Veteran Discount: 25% off for active duty and veterans
• Nonprofit Discount: 30% off qualifying organizations
• Volume Discounts: For companies hiring multiple people at once

These programs help make our platform accessible and fair.

How to Upgrade or Downgrade Your Plan

Changing plans is simple:

1. Log in and go to your account settings.
2. Click the “Change Plan” button.
3. Select the plan you want to switch to.
4. If upgrading, charges are prorated immediately for the rest of your cycle.
5. If downgrading, changes take effect at your next billing date.
6. Enjoy the flexibility—you can upgrade temporarily and downgrade later.

From our experience, this flexibility helps people tailor their subscription to their job search or hiring cycle.
