Why employers look for a Remote Rocketship alternative
Remote Rocketship is best known as a seeker-side site, with remote jobs pulled from company career pages. Employers can also buy a listing. Its post-a-job page sells a basic listing at $299, with a badge, a highlighted background and a dashboard of views and clicks included. You give it a link to the opening, it fills in the details, and the post stays up as long as you like.
That is a clean offer for a single role. The cost problem shows up once you hire all year. Every role is its own $299, and nothing on the page describes a sync that keeps a listing current when you edit the job or close it. Taking a role down means asking.
If you hire two or three times a year, that is fine. If a remote role opens every month, it is a recurring bill and a recurring chore.
What a year of remote hiring costs on each model
Take a team that opens 12 remote roles in a year and has no more than 10 open at once.
| Model | Calculation | Yearly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Rocketship, basic listings | 12 x $299 | $3,588 |
| RemoteBoard Growth, billed yearly | $149 x 12 months | $1,788 |
| RemoteBoard Starter, billed yearly | $49 x 12 months | $588 |
Because a Remote Rocketship listing does not expire, slow searches do not add cost the way they do on 30 or 45 day boards. That makes the per-post math fairer to it than most, and Growth is still about half the price at 12 roles. Starter covers up to 3 active roles at a time. Break-even against Growth is about six roles a year, and against Starter about two. For the same math on other per-post boards, see NoDesk pricing and Jobspresso pricing.
Where Remote Rocketship is the better choice
- One to five roles a year. Two listings cost $598, about the same as a year of Starter, with no commitment and no expiry.
- You want an open-ended listing. If a role takes four months to fill, you do not pay twice.
- Link-based entry. If the job already lives on a public page, giving it a URL is quick.
When a flat plan wins
A flat plan wins when remote hiring is steady. With a Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby board, the sync reads your public jobs page, keeps only fully remote roles and lists them with salary ranges. Edits follow, and closed roles come down at the next sync, so nobody emails support to remove a listing.
You also get location detail that remote candidates filter on: eligible countries and required UTC overlap on every listing. Growth adds 3 featured slots a month for urgent roles. The integration pages for Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby list exactly which fields sync.
Using both is fine
Nothing stops you from buying one Remote Rocketship listing for a role that is not in your ATS and running the rest on a flat plan. Plan capacity is counted by active roles, so check how many remote roles you usually have open before choosing. Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699 if you prefer not to commit for a year; full details are on the pricing page. Remote Rocketship's own numbers are broken down in Remote Rocketship pricing for employers.
How the switch works
- Open your ATS jobs page and copy its address.
- Paste it into the preview on post a remote job and see your remote roles as listings before you pay.
- Create an employer account with your work email and pick a plan.
- Your roles go live within the hour. Use the featured slots on Growth or Scale for the roles that are hardest to fill.
