Remotive pricing for employers and what a year of job listings costs

Remotive pricing for employers starts at $299 for one job listing that stays live for 30 days, according to its recruiter pricing FAQ. Three visibility packages cost $358, $398 and $448, and the $398 package is the one Remotive marks as most popular. Every listing renews automatically every 30 days at the full amount until you cancel it.

So one Remotive listing costs between $299 and $448, plus any add-ons. The number that actually decides whether it fits your budget is the yearly one, because per-listing pricing is cheap for one hire and expensive for a dozen. Below is each part of the price, what a year of hiring costs at three team sizes, and when a flat plan is the better buy.

How much does it cost to post a job on Remotive?

A standard Remotive job listing costs $299 and runs for 30 days. Remotive is a paid board for employers with no free listing option, so every role you open is a separate purchase. Its checkout accepts USD, EUR, GBP and CHF, and VAT may be added depending on where your company is based.

Here is the price structure as Remotive publishes it. We read its post-a-job checkout, its recruiter pricing FAQ and its help center in October 2026.

The checkout page shows the listing as $299 plus a $99 "Highlight and Logo" line, which lands on the same $398 total as the Plus package. Add-on prices are only shown inside the checkout and change from time to time, so treat those rows as a snapshot. The $299 base and the $398 package are the stable numbers to budget around.

Does Remotive auto-renew job listings?

Yes. Remotive job listings renew automatically every 30 days, and the full amount is charged each time while the job stays active. Renewed listings go back to the top of the feed. You can switch renewal off from the dashboard linked in the sales order email you receive after purchase, and the listing stays up until the end of the paid period.

This is where most of the unplanned spend comes from. A senior engineering search that takes 80 days crosses two renewal dates, so one hire means three charges. A role you filled last week can renew too if the sales order email went to a recruiter who has since left, or to a shared inbox nobody watches. Put the renewal date in the hiring manager's calendar on the day you buy.

Can you get a refund on a Remotive job post?

Remotive's help center describes a 14-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers, with refunds issued as account credit by default and to the original card on request. Unwanted renewal charges are handled case by case through support. The policy is written mainly around subscriptions, so confirm with Remotive support before you count on a refund for a specific listing.

The more useful protection for employers is the apply-click guarantee on the checkout page. If a listing gets fewer than 200 apply clicks, Remotive reposts it for another month at no charge. That is a fair promise for a single hard role. It does not change the cost of roles that do get 200 clicks but still take longer than 30 days to fill.

What a year of Remotive listings costs

To make the numbers comparable, assume half of all searches run past 30 days and need one renewal each, which is typical for senior and technical roles. We price each case at the $299 base and at the $398 package.

Remotive's job bundles save up to 40 percent on multi-role purchases and are arranged by emailing its team. Even with the full 40 percent off every charge, 12 roles a year at the base price come to roughly $3,230.

Compare that with a flat plan that counts how many roles you keep open at the same time, not how many you post. On RemoteBoard plans and pricing, Starter is $49 a month billed yearly for 3 active roles ($588 a year), Growth is $149 a month billed yearly for 10 active roles and 3 featured slots a month ($1,788 a year), and Scale is $349 a month billed yearly for 30 active roles and 10 featured slots ($4,188 a year). Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699.

Is Remotive worth it for employers?

Remotive is worth it when you hire one or two remote people a year and want reach in an established remote community, with a newsletter, a Slack group and social channels behind each listing. It gets expensive for teams hiring all year, because every role is a new purchase and every listing still open after 30 days renews at full price.

A simple rule we use: if you open fewer than three remote roles a year and fill them inside a month, buy single listings wherever your candidates are. If you open four or more, or your searches routinely run two months, a flat plan costs less within the first quarter. Some teams do both, keeping one Remotive listing for the single hardest search and running everything else through a flat plan.

What you get for the money beyond the listing

Price is only half the comparison. The other half is how much work each listing takes your team.

On Remotive you write or paste each listing and choose a package and add-ons for every role. Location filtering, extra pin weeks and featured email placement are separate purchases. When a role closes, someone has to cancel the renewal.

On RemoteBoard you paste your Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby careers board once. Every fully remote role is listed within the hour, edits flow through, and closed roles leave the board on their own, so there is nothing to cancel. Each role carries the countries you can employ in and the UTC hours people need to overlap, and candidates filter on both before they apply. That matters for US companies that can only hire in certain states or countries and want to say so up front.

Busy listings bring their own cost: 200 or more applicants for one role is a lot of screening for a small team. If that is where your hours go, an AI interview agent that runs first-round screening can take the first call off the hiring manager's plate while the listing keeps working.

How to cut what you spend on Remotive today

If you keep using Remotive for now, four habits bring the bill down:

1. Buy the base listing for roles that fill themselves. A well-paid engineering role at a known company rarely needs the $448 package.
2. Set the renewal reminder on purchase day. Cancel renewal the moment a role is filled, from the link in the sales order email.
3. Ask for a bundle before a hiring push. If you know five roles are coming this quarter, email Remotive for the bundle price first.
4. Use the apply-click guarantee. If a listing ends under 200 apply clicks, ask for the free repost instead of paying for a renewal.
