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.
Our note
Post the basic listing first and buy the boost only if a week produces nothing, since $100 for reach is worth paying against a stalled search and wasted on a role that fills on its own. Write the description properly before either, because distribution cannot rescue a posting nobody wants to answer.
Remotive
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.
Why people weigh these two
- Remotive instead of Jobicy
- Remotive backs a post with a results guarantee at $299, worth the extra scrutiny when a single flat-fee post has to land a hire.
- Jobicy instead of Remotive
- Jobicy posts a role for a flat fee without the two-hundred-click guarantee Remotive backs every listing with.
Which one should you pick
Choose Jobicy if a lower flat fee matters more than a stated guarantee, since $190 buys an identical posting experience to the $290 boosted option, just with less distribution and priority placement. It suits hiring twice a year, where the flat fee makes the cost of a role knowable up front with nothing recurring.
Choose Remotive if the guarantee is worth the extra roughly $109 at entry, since 200 or more apply clicks are promised or the listing reposts for another month at no charge. A daily email reaching 30,000 new subscribers a month and a published jobs API come with it, useful for a role that needs to reach people not actively browsing a board.
Common questions
- Which one is cheaper?
- Jobicy, at $190 for a basic post against Remotive's $299 starting price. Remotive's higher price comes with a guarantee, 200 or more apply clicks or a free repost, that Jobicy does not offer.
- Does Jobicy guarantee any results?
- No, its listing does not describe a results guarantee; the boosted $290 option simply buys more distribution and priority visibility than the $190 basic post, with an identical posting experience either way.
- What happens if a Remotive listing does not get enough applicants?
- If it falls short of 200 apply clicks, Remotive reposts the listing for another month at no additional charge. That guarantee is specifically about traffic to the listing, not about the quality of who applies.
- Do either of these require a subscription?
- No, both are one-time payments per job post with no recurring fee. Jobicy is $190 or $290 depending on distribution, and Remotive starts at $299 with higher tiers buying additional promotion.
