Jobboardly and SmartJobBoard differ in buying journey as much as in product. Jobboardly is self-serve, publishing plans at $50 and $100 per month with a roughly 15-minute no-code launch and pay-as-you-go aggregation from 12M+ listings. SmartJobBoard centres on employers searching a candidate database, with resume parsing, resume alerts and AI matching, offered through a sales-arranged choice of revenue-share partnership or flat annual subscription. Pick by whether you want a fast self-serve launch or a resume-database model arranged through sales.
Jobboardly publishes its plans in USD. Standard is $50 per month and includes the no-code board build, built-in monetisation and SEO with Google Jobs schema. Pro is $100 per month and adds further tooling per the pricing page. Aggregation is priced separately as pay-as-you-go credits against a pool of 12M+ listings. Annual billing is 33% less and there are no contracts. A free trial is not published, with a 30-day money-back guarantee offered instead. Setup fees and revenue share are not published.
SmartJobBoard does not publish prices. It offers two commercial models arranged through its sales process, a revenue-share partnership in which SmartJobBoard processes employer transactions and a flat annual subscription. A free trial is not published. Setup fees and contract terms are also not published, so budget conversations start with a quote. The practical difference is that Jobboardly can be costed from its pricing page today, while SmartJobBoard is costed in conversation with its sales team.
Jobboardly is built for entrepreneurs and founders launching a niche professional job board at an accessible entry price, used in 50+ countries. A no-code launch takes roughly 15 minutes, aggregation from a 12M+ listings pool is metered by pay-as-you-go credits so supply scales with spend, built-in monetisation covers employer postings and SEO with Google Jobs schema drives traffic. There are no long-term contracts and a 30-day money-back guarantee backs the start. If you want a fast, low-commitment launch that grows as you do, Jobboardly is built for that.
SmartJobBoard has served associations, non-profits, educational institutions and economic development organisations since 2008. Its model centres on employers searching a candidate database, with searchable resumes, resume parsing, resume alerts and AI matching that scores candidates against roles. Backfill integrates jobs from aggregators such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Talroo. Commercially it offers a choice between a revenue-share partnership where SmartJobBoard processes employer transactions and a flat annual subscription arranged through sales. If your board's value lives in the resume database as much as the job list, SmartJobBoard is built for that.
There is a third model for boards that exist to serve a defined community rather than to be monetised. Spacewalk sources an employer-direct verified job stream, matches it to members with smart talent matching on every plan and reports through to placements, with no revenue share on any employer fees. Plans start at £61 per month with a 14-day free trial. See Spacewalk vs Jobboardly and Spacewalk vs SmartJobBoard or view pricing.
