Remotive is something an employer buys: $299 for a job post with a guarantee of 200 apply clicks or a free repost. Working Nomads is mostly something a job seeker buys: the board and its daily digest are free, and Premium at $17.95 a month adds ten times the postings, filters and no ads for somebody searching. Employers can post on Working Nomads too, though its own materials do not give that number. The two are not really priced against each other, since they usually charge different sides of the same hire.

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.
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.
A remote job board with a paid tier
Working Nomads collects remote jobs across fifteen or so fields and mails a daily digest for the categories you pick. The public board is free and shows a subset; the subscription opens the rest along with filters and no advertising. For a freelancer between contracts it is a cheaper habit than most job boards charge for. Employers pay to post, which is the other half of the business.
Choose Remotive if you are the employer and want a guaranteed number attached to the $299 you are spending: 200 apply clicks or the post runs again free. That is a hiring decision, and Working Nomads' clearly stated pricing does not compete with it directly, since it is aimed at the person applying rather than the person posting.
Choose Working Nomads' Premium if you are the one searching, not hiring: $17.95 a month, or $79.95 a year working out to $6.67 a month, adds ten times the listings the free board shows along with filters and no advertising. It is worth it during an active search and hard to justify outside one. The free public board and email alerts cost nothing either way and are worth keeping regardless.

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
Buy the monthly plan first and switch to annual only if the search runs past a few months, because the annual discount is calculated to make exactly that decision look wrong. The free board is worth subscribing to permanently either way, since the alerts cost nothing.
