Running the business
Dynamite Jobs charges $399 for one post, or about $300 with the first-post discount, drawing on the Tropical MBA community of small remote-first businesses. Remotive starts at $299 and guarantees 200 or more apply clicks, reposting the listing free for another month if it falls short, which is a promise about traffic that Dynamite Jobs does not make. Both are one-time fees with no subscription. The difference is that Remotive backs its price with a stated result, while Dynamite Jobs sells access to a specific, smaller audience.

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.
A remote job board with a results guarantee
Remotive posts remote roles to a job board, a daily email and a large following, and guarantees two hundred clicks on the apply button or it runs the listing again for free. Postings are managed from an emailed link rather than an account, which removes the usual password. It is priced per job rather than per month, so a creator hiring one editor pays once.
Dynamite Jobs is the pick when the audience itself matters more than reach: candidates already embedded in the small, founder-led remote business world the Tropical MBA community built. It costs more than Remotive's entry price and offers no traffic guarantee in return.
Remotive is the pick for anybody who wants a number attached to the price. Postings start at $299, cheaper than Dynamite Jobs, and a guarantee of 200 apply clicks, backed by a free repost if it is not met, is a concrete promise most job boards do not make at any price.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
The apply-click guarantee is what separates this from the free boards, and it is a promise about traffic rather than about quality. Write the description before pricing the post, because reach only helps a listing people want to answer.
