Dynamite Jobs vs Jobicy Comparison 2026
Dynamite Jobs and Jobicy both charge an employer once per listing rather than a monthly subscription, which suits a business hiring occasionally rather than continuously. Dynamite Jobs is $399, or about $300 with the 25 percent first-post discount, and its candidates come from the Tropical MBA community of small remote-first businesses. Jobicy is $190 for a basic post or $290 for boosted distribution, roughly half the price, with a general remote audience rather than one tied to a particular community. The gap is the audience, not the posting mechanics.

Dynamite Jobs
A remote job board with one flat fee
Dynamite Jobs lists remote roles and charges the employer a single price for a post, with no subscription and no per-applicant fee. It came out of the Tropical MBA community, so the companies posting skew towards small remote-first businesses rather than enterprises with a recruiting team. For somebody hiring their first contractor, the flat fee is easier to reason about than a marketplace cut.
Our note
Four hundred dollars is a lot for one post next to a free listing on We Work Remotely, and the case for it is the audience rather than the features. Worth it for a role you need filled properly, hard to justify for speculative hiring.
Jobicy
Post a remote role for a flat fee
Jobicy is a remote job board where a listing is bought once rather than subscribed to, which suits a creator hiring an editor twice a year rather than a company hiring continuously. The posting form asks for what a candidate needs and sends applications to an email address or an external page. A dearer tier buys distribution and priority placement rather than a different listing. Anybody hiring monthly will find a subscription board cheaper.
Why people weigh these two
- Jobicy instead of Dynamite Jobs
- Jobicy runs the same flat-fee remote post at $190, about half the price, the budget end of the pay-once job boards.
- Dynamite Jobs instead of Jobicy
- Dynamite Jobs also charges one flat fee per post rather than a subscription, at $399 against Jobicy's $190, pricier but the closest match on structure.
Which one should you pick
Dynamite Jobs is the pick when the audience itself is the reason to pay: candidates who already follow the Tropical MBA world of small, founder-led remote businesses. $399 is steep for one post, and the case for it is that specific audience rather than any feature the posting form has that Jobicy lacks.
Jobicy is the pick for a lower-cost flat-fee post to a general remote audience. A basic listing is $190, and the $290 boosted option buys distribution and priority placement rather than a different posting experience, so post basic first and pay for the boost only if a week produces nothing.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper?
- Jobicy, at $190 for a basic post against Dynamite Jobs' $399, or roughly $300 with its 25 percent first-post discount. Jobicy's $290 boosted option is still cheaper than Dynamite Jobs even at the higher tier.
- What does Jobicy's boosted option actually buy?
- Distribution and priority placement, not a different listing. Jobicy states plainly that the posting experience is identical between the $190 basic and $290 boosted tiers, so the extra $100 is a media buy rather than a better form.
- Why would anybody pay $399 on Dynamite Jobs instead of $190 on Jobicy?
- For the audience. Dynamite Jobs grew out of the Tropical MBA community, so the employers and candidates on it skew toward small, founder-led remote businesses specifically. Jobicy's audience is general remote job seekers, wider but less targeted to that particular kind of company.
- Do either charge a subscription or a per-applicant fee?
- No, neither does. Both are one-time payments per post with no recurring charge and no fee per application received, which is what makes either one predictable for an employer hiring only occasionally.
