Jboard and Kardow are both self-serve, subscription-priced platforms with quota-gated backfill and no revenue share, so the choice is about scale and monetisation shape. Jboard is a builder-style white-label board at $249 to $849 per month with a built-in ATS on its top plan. Kardow starts at £29 per month with an AI website builder, scraper-credit backfill and monetisation that grows into subscriptions, bundles and paywalls on higher tiers. Pick by whether top-end depth with an ATS or a low flat subscription with layered monetisation fits your board.
Jboard publishes its plans in USD. Standard is $249 per month and includes the white-label builder, AI job backfill and monetisation tools. Advanced is $449 per month and adds further tooling per the pricing page. Scale is $849 per month and adds a built-in ATS. Enterprise sits above Scale with custom pricing that is not published. Annual billing is about 20% less ($199 / $359 / $679 per month). There are no setup fees, you keep 100% of your revenue and there is a 14-day free trial.
Kardow publishes its plans in GBP with USD and EUR also shown. Starter is £29 per month with the AI website builder, a custom domain, paid job posts, 300 scraper credits per month and 1 team seat. Pro is £69 per month and adds white-label removal, subscriptions, bundles and paywalls, Google OAuth, custom email domains, custom fields, AI screening, API access, 1,000 scraper credits and 3 team seats. Scale is £139 per month and adds invoices and custom payment links, 3,000 scraper credits, unlimited team seats and up to 3 separate job boards. Enterprise pricing is custom and not published. Annual billing saves 20% or more and there is a 14-day free trial. Kardow charges the platform subscription rather than a revenue share. The two meter differently, with Jboard priced for depth at the top of its range while Kardow layers monetisation features tier by tier from a low entry point.
Jboard is built for revenue-focused board operators - niche communities, associations, publishers and recruitment agencies, used in 38+ countries - who want builder-style control of a white-label board. Its drag-and-drop builder gives operators direct control of the board. Daily AI backfill from 200,000+ career sites keeps it full, with quotas of 300, 1,000 or 2,500 backfilled jobs per month by plan. Monetisation tooling supports employer postings and you keep 100% of your revenue per the pricing page. A built-in ATS on the top Scale plan keeps applicant tracking in one place and admin seats scale from 2 to 10 across the tiers. If you want builder control with included backfill and an ATS on top, Jboard is built for that.
Kardow is built for operators who want to build and run a branded, monetisable job board themselves at a low monthly subscription. An AI website builder assembles the board, scraper credits keep it filled and monetisation runs through Stripe, from paid postings on Starter to subscriptions, bundles and paywalls on Pro. Scale adds invoices, custom payment links, unlimited team seats and up to 3 separate boards, with additional boards at £29 per month each. It suits self-serve founders who prefer a flat platform fee to a revenue share and want SEO pages, custom domains and multi-board support. If a low flat subscription with layered monetisation fits your plan, Kardow is built for that.
There is a third model for boards that exist to serve a defined community rather than to be operated or monetised. Spacewalk sources an employer-direct verified job stream, matches roles to your members with smart talent matching and reports through to placements, with no revenue share on any employer fees. Boards can be public, private or invite-only. See Spacewalk vs Jboard and Spacewalk vs Kardow or view pricing.
Both are self-serve platforms with subscription pricing, quota-gated backfill and no revenue share. Jboard is a builder-style white-label board at $249 to $849 per month with a built-in ATS on its top plan. Kardow starts at £29 per month with an AI website builder, scraper-credit backfill and monetisation that grows into subscriptions, bundles and paywalls on higher tiers.
Jboard fills the board with AI job backfill importing daily from 200,000+ career sites, with quotas of 300, 1,000 or 2,500 backfilled jobs per month by plan. Kardow fills the board through scraper credits, with 300, 1,000 or 3,000 credits per month by tier. Kardow does not publish its scraper refresh cadence.
Kardow's published entry price is lower, at £29 per month for Starter ($39 in USD) rising to £139 for Scale. Jboard runs $249 / $449 / $849 per month. Both discount annual billing, about 20% on Jboard and 20% or more on Kardow. Both include backfill quotas in the plan, so compare at the credit volume and seat count you would actually run.
Kardow's Scale plan supports up to 3 separate job boards, with additional boards at £29 per month each and higher board limits on its custom Enterprise tier. Jboard does not publish multi-board support, so ask the vendor if you plan to run several boards from one account.
Yes. If your board exists to serve a defined community rather than to be operated or monetised, Spacewalk offers a community-first placement model with an employer-direct verified job stream matched to your community, placement reporting and no revenue share.
