Verdict

Getro and SmartJobBoard centre on different assets. Getro centres on the network - it scrapes every open role across a portfolio or membership onto one automatically updated board and turns the community into warm introductions, sold as a demo-led subscription. SmartJobBoard centres on the candidate database - searchable resumes, resume parsing, resume alerts and AI matching that scores candidates against roles, offered as a revenue-share partnership or a flat annual subscription arranged through sales. Pick by which asset your model is built around, the network's roles or the resume database.

Pricing in detail

Getro publishes starting-at figures in USD and each plan is bought through a demo. Manage starts at $210 per month with the AI-automated job board, custom branding and filters, automatic job scraping, the built-in talent network, contact database and lists, intro and hiring reports, job trend reports, API access and Zapier integration. Connect starts at $525 per month and adds live contact sync, warm intro automation, email campaigns, newsletters and unlimited allies. Scale starts at $759 per month and adds contact discovery from an enriched database of 800M+ people, research on 2M+ companies and screening on hundreds of expert-labelled attributes. Enterprise is custom priced with portfolio-company access, audit logs and SSO. A free trial, setup fees and contract terms are not published. Onboarding is done for you - provide the list of companies plus the URL where the board will live and Getro sets it up with a preview before go-live.

SmartJobBoard does not publish prices. It offers two commercial models arranged through its sales process. One is a revenue-share partnership in which SmartJobBoard processes employer transactions and the operator takes a share. The other is a flat annual subscription. A free trial is not published. Setup fees are arranged through the sales and setup process. Both platforms are bought through a conversation rather than a checkout, so the practical comparison is the model itself - an operator subscription around network scraping on Getro, revenue-share or flat fee around a candidate database on SmartJobBoard.

Where Getro fits

Getro is built for professional networks, venture capital firms, accelerators and community builders that want to surface every open role across their portfolio or membership on one automatically updated board and to turn the network into warm introductions and hiring outcomes. Automatic scraping keeps ATS-sourced jobs updated daily, the built-in talent network holds enriched contacts and higher tiers add contact discovery across a database of 800M+ people. It suits operators who value relationship intelligence and done-for-you setup and who buy through a demo rather than self-serve. If the board exists to mirror your own network's live roles, Getro is built for that.

Where SmartJobBoard fits

SmartJobBoard is built for associations, non-profits, educational institutions and economic development organisations, served since 2008, whose model centres on employers searching a candidate database. Searchable resumes, resume parsing and resume alerts keep the database working, AI matching scores candidates against roles and backfill from aggregators such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Talroo keeps job content flowing. The choice between a revenue-share partnership and a flat annual subscription lets each organisation pick the commercial model that fits. If employers searching your resume bank is the heart of the board, SmartJobBoard is built for that.

A third model - community-first placement

There is a third model for boards that exist to serve a defined community rather than to mirror a portfolio or to monetise a resume database. Spacewalk sources an employer-direct verified job stream, matches it to your community's skills and reports through to placements, with no revenue share on any employer fees.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Getro and SmartJobBoard?

Getro is a demo-led subscription tool for professional and venture networks. It scrapes every open role across the network's companies onto one automatically updated board and adds a warm-intro talent network with enriched people data. SmartJobBoard is built around a candidate database - searchable resumes, resume parsing, resume alerts and AI matching - offered as a revenue-share partnership or a flat annual subscription arranged through sales.

Where do the jobs come from on each board?

Getro scrapes jobs automatically from the network companies' hiring channels - their ATS and job posting platforms plus manually created careers pages - with ATS-sourced jobs updated daily. SmartJobBoard backfills jobs from aggregators such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Talroo. Getro's supply mirrors your own network while SmartJobBoard's draws from the open aggregator market.

Which is cheaper, Getro or SmartJobBoard?

Neither publishes a full price list. Getro lists starting-at figures of $210, $525 and $759 per month with each plan demo-led, so the final price is quote-based. SmartJobBoard does not publish prices - both its revenue-share partnership and its flat annual subscription are arranged through sales. Budget by a conversation with each vendor at your board's size rather than by list price.

Which one is built around a candidate database?

SmartJobBoard is. Searchable resumes, resume parsing and resume alerts sit at its centre, AI matching scores candidates against roles and resume search itself can be monetised. Getro's asset is different - enriched people data for the network, held in a contact database with lists and talent mapping, used to drive warm introductions rather than employer resume search.

Is there a third option?

Yes. If your board exists to serve a defined community rather than to mirror a portfolio or to be monetised, Spacewalk offers a community-first placement model - an employer-direct verified job stream matched to your community with placement reporting and no revenue share. See the Spacewalk comparisons or the pricing page.
