Remote OK pricing for employers and what a year of job posts costs

Remote OK pricing for employers starts at $299 for a single job post that runs 30 days, according to the banner on its own hiring page. The price is dynamic: it moves with how many jobs are posted that week, and on October 15, 2026 the post button showed $447. Add-ons cost extra, posts auto-renew at the same price after 30 days, and bundles save up to 50 percent.

That is the short answer. The longer one depends on how many people you hire in a year, because per-post pricing is cheap for one role and expensive for twenty. Below is what each part of the price means, what a year of hiring costs at three team sizes, and when a flat plan makes more sense.

How much does it cost to post a job on Remote OK?

A standard Remote OK job post costs from $299 for 30 days. Remote OK says its prices are dynamic and change with the number of job ads posted each week, so the price you see at checkout can be higher. When we checked on October 15, 2026, the post button read $447 while the banner still said "starting from $299".

Here is what Remote OK lists on its employer page, in plain terms:

Third-party review sites quote different starting figures, from $299 to around $549 for a posting plan, which is a sign of how often the numbers move. Treat any fixed price you read online, including ours above, as a snapshot and check the checkout page before you budget.

Does Remote OK auto-renew job posts?

Yes. Remote OK job posts renew automatically after 30 days at the same price as the original post. You get an email reminder 7 days before the renewal, and you can switch auto-renew off on the post's edit page or close the post. If a renewal goes through by mistake, Remote OK lets you refund it yourself within 7 days using the link in the renewal email.

Auto-renewal matters more than it looks. A senior engineering search that takes 75 days crosses two renewal points, so the post is charged three times. If nobody on your team is watching the reminder emails, roles you already filled can renew too.

What a year of hiring costs on Remote OK

The table below uses the $299 starting price, which is the cheapest case. With the $447 price we saw at checkout, every per-post number grows by about half. Upgrades and bundles are left out because their prices are not published.

Bundle discounts can bring these numbers down, by up to half according to Remote OK, but you pay for the bundle up front and still pay again for each renewal.

Is Remote OK worth it for employers?

Remote OK is worth it for a single urgent hire where reach matters most. It has a large tech audience and a well-known brand, and one post for $299 to $447 is a fair price for that exposure. It gets expensive when you hire all year, because every role and every extra month is a new charge, and the useful add-ons are priced on top.

A practical rule: if you open one or two remote roles a year, per-post boards are fine. If you open four or more, compare the yearly total above with a flat subscription before you buy another post.

Remote OK pricing compared with a flat plan

RemoteBoard charges employers one flat plan instead of a price per post. The plan sets how many jobs can be live at the same time, and a role stays up for as long as it is open, with no renewal charge at day 30.

For the growing startup in the earlier table, RemoteBoard Growth billed yearly costs $1,788 for up to 10 roles live at once, against $5,382 or more on per-post pricing. For the small startup, Starter billed yearly is $588 for up to 3 live roles, against $1,495 or more.

How to keep per-post costs down if you stay on Remote OK

If Remote OK is the right board for one of your roles, a few habits keep the bill predictable:

• Turn off auto-renew when you post. Switch it back on only if the role is still open near day 23, when the reminder arrives.
• Close filled roles the same day. A post that renews for a role you already filled is the most common wasted charge.
• Buy a bundle only for roles you will open within the bundle's window. A discount on posts you never use is not a saving.
• Spend on one add-on, not all of them. If you add anything, pick the one that matches your goal, such as a pin for an urgent role, instead of stacking every upgrade.
• Write the post for remote candidates. Clear eligible countries, overlap hours and a salary band raise the share of applicants you can actually hire. Our guide on how to write a remote job post covers the details.

Once applications start coming in, the cost shifts from posting to reviewing. Teams with a lot of inbound volume often add an AI recruiter that screens and ranks applicants so hiring managers only read the shortlist.

Frequently asked questions

Is Remote OK free for employers?

No. Remote OK charges employers for every job post, starting at $299 for 30 days, and charges again when a post renews. It is free for job seekers to browse and apply. If you want to try a board before paying, RemoteBoard lets you paste your careers board and preview your roles as listings before you choose a plan.

Why did my Remote OK price change?

Remote OK uses dynamic pricing. The cost of a post and its add-ons moves with the number of jobs posted that week, so two employers can see different prices on different days. The "from $299" figure is the floor, and the checkout total can be noticeably higher in busy weeks.

Can I get a refund on Remote OK?

Original job posts are not refundable on Remote OK. Automatic renewals are different: you can refund a renewal yourself within 7 days of it going through, using the link in the renewal email. After that window, the renewal charge stands.

What is the cheapest way to post several remote jobs?

For several remote roles a year, a flat subscription is usually cheaper than paying per post. On RemoteBoard, Starter is $49 a month billed yearly for up to 3 live roles and Growth is $149 a month billed yearly for up to 10, with no renewal fees while roles stay open.
