Teamtailor vs Tellent Recruitee
Teamtailor and Tellent Recruitee both hide their prices behind a conversation, but they package the offer in opposite ways. Teamtailor sells one quote with unlimited job postings, unlimited users and unlimited AI usage, and offers only a demo. Recruitee splits into Start, Advance and Optimize, caps job posts and AI credits on the lower plans, and lets you start a free trial without a card. Teamtailor is registered in Stockholm, while Recruitee sits under the Tellent brand with entities in Amsterdam and Dusseldorf, so the buyer should weigh limits against openness.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Choose Teamtailor ifyou want one quote that includes unlimited users, unlimited job postings and a careers site you can edit by drag and drop. You can live with a demo call before any number appears.
Choose Tellent Recruitee ifyou want to try the product with no card before speaking to anyone, and you need tiered plans with clear monthly AI allowances. You also accept that the final price still comes from a demo.

Where they differ
Teamtailor 1 · Tellent Recruitee 3 · open 2- 01
Start, Advance or Optimize against one quote
Recruitee names three plans and tells you what each includes. Start allows 5 active job posts, Advance gives unlimited job posts and up to 3 custom job fields, and Optimize gives unlimited custom fields on jobs and requisitions. Teamtailor shows no plan names at all, only a form that promises a price back after you describe your company. Recruitee is easier to size up on paper, though neither vendor prints a euro or dollar figure on its pricing page.

Trying it before talking to sales
Recruitee offers a start free trial button, with no credit card required, and lists no free plan. Teamtailor offers neither a trial nor a free tier on the pricing page or homepage, and the only call to action we found there is Book a demo. For a team that wants to click around first, Recruitee removes a step and a meeting. A buyer content with a guided demo will not feel the difference, but a small team short on time probably will.

Where users, jobs and AI stop
Teamtailor's pricing page states unlimited job postings, unlimited users, unlimited usage of Teamtailor AI, and customer support for all users. Recruitee caps Start at 5 active job posts and gives AI Screening 100 credits and AI Matching 3 searches a month on Start and Advance. Optimize raises AI Matching to 65 searches a month. If you hire in bursts or give every manager a login, Teamtailor's open limits are the safer fit, since nothing on the page asks you to count seats or posts.

Contract terms and billing rhythm
Recruitee's FAQ gives annual payment a 20% discount and sets a one-year minimum commitment, though monthly payment is possible. Teamtailor's pricing page says nothing about contract length, discounts or payment frequency, only that a quote follows your request. Recruitee therefore tells you more about the commitment before you ask. That openness matters to a finance lead who needs to know up front whether a full year is locked in, and whether paying monthly changes the discount. Teamtailor leaves all of that to the sales conversation.

Features each homepage names
Teamtailor names Teamtailor AI that surfaces matches, drafts job ads and summarises CVs, a drag-and-drop career site editor, talent pool, interview kits, automation and triggers, reporting and onboarding. Recruitee names applicant pipeline, collaborative hiring, candidate assessment, digital offer letters with eSignatures, onboarding, WhatsApp Hiring and AI features. Teamtailor leans toward employer brand. Recruitee reaches further into the offer stage and into pre-onboarding with eSignatures. Each fits a different hiring style, so the round is level.
Depends on the buyer
