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.
Wellfound
Startup job posts, free to publish
Wellfound, which spent a decade as AngelList Talent, is where startups hire and where people who want to work at one look. Posting is free and unlimited, with a built-in applicant tracker, and the money is in promotion and sourcing. For a creator business hiring its first editor or assistant, the free half is usually the whole of what is needed.
Our note
The free tier is the whole product for most people here. Post the role, use the tracker, and only reach for a Job Ad if two weeks pass without the right applicants.
Working Nomads
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.
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.
