GoodTime vs Workable (2026)

GoodTime

Workable

by Workable

Pros

• ✓Cori coordinates multi-stakeholder interviews autonomously, aligning panel availability across interviewers, hiring managers and candidates without per-action recruiter approval, removing the scheduling bottleneck that limits enterprise hiring velocity.
• ✓Native two-way integrations with eight applicant tracking systems, six calendar and conferencing platforms and three technical interview tools, and GoodTime states every integration is included rather than gated behind a higher tier.
• ✓A first-party MCP server published in July 2026 lets an AI assistant query live recruiting data in natural language through GoodTime's public API, a capability very few talent platforms currently offer.

Limitations

• –Quote-only pricing with no published rates and volume-based billing on annual candidate throughput, which rules GoodTime out for buyers whose procurement requires upfront pricing comparison before vendor engagement.
• –The MCP server is version 1.0 and read-only, covering interviews, contacts and interviewer tags with no write operations, and GoodTime states it has been built and tested with Claude alone.
• –GoodTime requires an existing applicant tracking system and handles scheduling rather than full-cycle recruiting, so it is an additive cost on top of an ATS, and API access can require customer success manager activation.

Pros

• ✓All three plans are publicly priced with both annual and monthly rates shown, and Standard, Premier and Enterprise are listed at 299, 599 and 719 per month on annual billing, so buyers can budget without a sales conversation for the plan itself.
• ✓An official MCP server at mcp.workable.com exposes 94 tools across 17 groups spanning the full hiring lifecycle plus HR operations, using streamable HTTP with OAuth2 and Dynamic Client Registration, so any MCP-compatible assistant can connect without manual credential setup.
• ✓Workable Agent is billed on AI credits rather than seats, at 1 credit per screening and 2 per passive candidate sourced, so the cost of autonomous sourcing scales with work done rather than headcount, and every paid account starts with 3,000 free credits.

Limitations

• –Workable publishes no currency on its pricing page or in its terms, and its terms state that pricing may vary by billing country, so the figures above cannot be tied to a stated currency from public sources.
• –The lightweight HR module is not full HCM. Teams needing succession planning, learning or workforce analytics will run Rippling (custom pricing) or Lattice ($4/mo billed annually) alongside it, and Standard covers only 1 to 20 employees before per-employee pricing applies.
• –The 15-day free trial excludes Workable Agent, AI credits expire one year from purchase and are non-refundable, and bundles above 50,000 credits are quoted by sales rather than published.
