Breezy HR alternatives (2026): what the free plan really allows

Breezy HR's free plan allows one active job and hides candidates after 30 days. Here is what that means in practice, what the paid plans cost, and where Breezy HR is still the better tool.

Last updated 2 September 2026. Competitor pricing and plan limits are re-verified against each vendor’s own pages.

Breezy HR's free Bootstrap plan allows one active job or candidate pool at a time, and candidates are only accessible for 30 days after they are added.

The first paid plan is $157 per month billed annually, so the step up from free is roughly $1,900 a year with no cheaper tier in between.

ofper has no cap on jobs, candidates or team members and keeps candidate records permanently. Breezy HR remains the better choice if you need job board distribution or video interviews, neither of which ofper has.

Why people leave Breezy HR

The one-job limit is the usual trigger. Bootstrap works for a company making a single hire and breaks the moment a second role opens.

The 30-day candidate window is the limit people discover later. Applicants added last month stop being accessible on the free plan, so the pipeline history is not durable.

There is no gentle upgrade. The step from free to paid is $157 per month billed annually, with no intermediate tier.

Breezy HR has no sourcing database, which is the most commonly cited functional gap among its users. Teams that need to find candidates rather than only track applicants tend to leave for a different class of tool.
