Best remote job boards for employers compared by cost per year

The best remote job board for an employer depends on how often you hire. For one or two remote roles a year, a single per-post listing on We Work Remotely, Remote OK or Remotive (about $299 for 30 days) is simple and reaches a large audience. For a team that hires remotely every month, a flat plan such as RemoteBoard's $149 a month for 10 active roles costs about half as much per year. Himalayas lets you post for free, and Dynamite Jobs charges $399 but bundles managed services.

Prices below were checked on each board's own pages or checkout in October 2026. Where a board blocks automated checks, the number comes from its support center and is marked.

Remote job boards for employers at a glance

What do remote job boards cost per year for 12 hires?

Working Nomads is the cheaper per-post option at $199 for 30 days or $169 in a 10-job bundle, see Working Nomads pricing. The lowest sticker prices are RemoteJobs.org at $149 for 30 days (RemoteJobs.org pricing) and Real Work From Anywhere at $199 for 60 days (Real Work From Anywhere pricing), with NoDesk at $199 for 45 days (NoDesk pricing). Remote Rocketship charges $299 for a listing with no end date (Remote Rocketship pricing). Dice, a general tech board, charges $399 for a 30-day slot (Dice job posting cost). Wellfound is the outlier because posting is free and only promotion is paid, see Wellfound pricing and the Wellfound alternative page. Per-post pricing looks cheap until you count roles. Twelve roles at $299 is $3,588 a year if every role fills inside 30 days. A role that takes 45 days renews at the full price, so every slow hire adds another $299. At Remotive's $398 package, twelve posts cost $4,776.

A flat plan changes the math because the price follows open roles rather than posts. RemoteBoard's Growth plan is $149 a month billed yearly, which is $1,788 for up to 10 active roles at any time. Starter is $588 a year for 3 roles and Scale is $4,188 for 30. Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699.

Which remote job board is best for developers?

Remote OK and We Work Remotely both draw heavy developer traffic and are the first boards most engineering managers try. Remote OK claims over 16 million remote workers a month and distributes to Google for Jobs. We Work Remotely claims 6 million monthly visitors. Either works for a one-off senior engineering role. If you hire engineers all year, compare the yearly math above, and look at how each board handles renewals before you enter a card. Our We Work Remotely vs Remote OK comparison goes line by line.

Do remote job boards auto-renew?

Yes, the big three do. Remote OK renews at the same price and reminds you 7 days before. We Work Remotely reminds you 5 days before and lets you turn renewal off. Remotive renews every 30 days for the full amount and you cancel through a link in your sales order email. Put a calendar reminder on the day you post, because a filled role that renews is money you cannot easily get back. Remote OK refunds renewals within 7 days but not original posts.

Is it worth posting on a remote job board at all?

It is when the role is fully remote and your careers page alone does not bring enough qualified applicants. Remote-only boards pre-filter for people who want remote work, which shortens screening. It is less worth it for local or hybrid roles. Track apply clicks and the source of hires for your first two posts before committing to a larger budget.

How do I post jobs to several remote boards without retyping?

If your team uses Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby, a board that reads your public job board saves the copy step. RemoteBoard lists your fully remote roles within the hour, removes closed roles automatically and sends applicants to your own application form. See the Greenhouse job board integration and Lever job board integration for the synced fields. Per-post boards do not follow your ATS, so each role is another manual post.

How to choose between them

Match the board to your hiring volume and your tolerance for admin.

• One hire, big reach wanted: We Work Remotely or Remote OK.
• A guarantee matters: Remotive, whose posts with under 200 apply clicks get a free repost month.
• Managed hiring, budget available: Dynamite Jobs at $399.
• No budget, testing: Himalayas free posting.
• Hiring every month on an ATS: a flat plan on RemoteBoard, or see how it compares in the We Work Remotely alternative and Remotive alternative pages.

Once the hires start, remember that remote contractors need paperwork too, and contract management software keeps those agreements and renewals in one place.
