Breezy HR Review (2026)Free for One Job, Then $157/mo

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 27 Sep 2026

A genuinely permanent free Bootstrap plan: one open position, unlimited users. Paid, annual against monthly: Startup $157/mo or $189, Growth $273/mo or $329, Business $439/mo or $529, plus a custom-quoted Pro tier. Every paid tier includes unlimited users and unlimited positions, which is what separates it from per-seat applicant tracking. Onboarding is a separate product, starting at $49/mo for automated role-based workflows that sync with the ATS.

The same page, read 27 September 2026, offers a 14-day full-feature trial with no card and 100,000 Breezy Intelligence credits included; further AI credits start at $30 per 100,000 and SMS credits at $41 a month. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.

Category context: Operations & Workflow. Across the 53 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $25 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). Breezy HR’s entry price of $157 a month sits above that median. Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →

What the price did

We read Breezy HR’s own pricing page on a schedule and keep every reading, so this is our record of the page. It is not a forecast, and not someone else’s summary. A change appears here only after we confirmed the new price on the page itself.

What buyers report about Breezy HR

Hands-on: tested 2026-10-29Reported by buyers: G2, Capterra and TrustRadius, read August 2026

Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We tested Breezy HR ourselves on 2026-10-29, but one test is a narrow sample, so here is what other buyers report. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.

When the paid plan is worth it

Bootstrap is free and keeps unlimited users, but the pricing page caps it at "1 Active Pool or Position" and says Bootstrap plans give unlimited access only to candidates added within the last 30 days. That 30-day window, more than the single opening, is what usually forces an upgrade: older applicants stop being reachable. Startup at $157/mo annually ($189 month-to-month) lifts both limits, which is the entire case for teams that hire more than one role at a time.

Growth at $273/mo adds scorecards, interview guides and automated reference checking; Business at $439/mo ($529 monthly) adds custom roles and permissions, HRIS integrations and offer management. The biggest step in the paid table is Growth to Business, and it buys governance, not reach. Upgrading does not solve everything: SMS ($41/mo), Onboard ($49/mo) and Breezy Intelligence credits (from $30 per 100,000) remain paid add-ons at every tier, while API access, advanced reporting and SSL enforcement on custom domains sit behind the quote-only Custom Pro plan. Annual billing "includes 2 months free!"

What we found running Breezy HR ourselves

Hands-on · 2026-10-29

The first findings are at the top of this page. The rest:

• The candidate export kept names with accents, email addresses, the pool and the stage. It has no column for the summary we typed, so that text did not come back, and the requisition ID column was empty.
• Startup monthly went into a cart showing '$189' and 'Pay now $189', with no tax shown before paying. Annual billing (15% off) is preselected on the plans page, where Startup is $157 a month.
• Members can only be Administrator or Member, with no viewer role. A free Bootstrap plan is offered; it keeps full access to candidates from the last 30 days only. The REST API and Zapier are listed in the trial.

Claim vs. what we measured

We set a claim from Breezy HR's own pages next to what we saw in our test, on the plan named. The status says whether the two describe the same thing and match; it is not a verdict on the product. Confirmations are listed too.

What the vendor says	What we measured	Status	What it means if you buy
Full Feature 14-Day TrialSource: breezy.hr, read 25 Oct 2026	Measured 2026-10-29: Billing shows 13 days left and expiry on 12 November 2026 after creation on 29 October. All features are offered during the trial.Our test, 29 Oct 2026; 14-day trial (all features)	ConfirmedTrial length read from the billing page on the day of sign-up; this row compares terms, not prices.	The calendar dates align with 14 days; the remaining-days display does not prove a shortened trial. Exact expiry time was not measured.
$189 /maandSource: breezy.hr, read 29 Oct 2026The vendor's page no longer shows this wording (checked 2026-11-14), original claim: “$189 /maand”	Measured 2026-10-29: Monthly Startup cart shows $189 and Nu $ 189 betalen. Tax and country are not shown; stopped before payment. Annual prices were selected by default on the plan page.Our test, 29 Oct 2026; 14-day trial (all features)	ConfirmedObserved in-app plan/term/currency compared. Current Startup monthly cost rule matches the base USD 189, but final tax-inclusive price is unknown; older preparation is superseded for cost-rule availability.	Monthly base price matches. The amount including tax is unknown; yearly defaults are a separate choice.

Exit test: can you take your data out?

Exported the two manually entered test candidates in two CSV variants. Test date: 29 Oct 2026. We describe the friction rather than score it; this is one run with synthetic records, not a verdict on Breezy HR.

What we checked	What we saw
Came along in the export	Both names, email fields, pool and stage are retained; Unicode is preserved.
Lost in the export	The summary/free-text field is absent from the export and from the available column list. reqId is empty; no native candidate ID is exported.
Awkward but not lost	Enabling additional columns adds headline, resume, tags and reqId but does not recover summaries. The pool was a draft; job-board publication requires account verification through support.
Export route	Candidates > select both > menu > Export Candidates; repeated after enabling extra columns.
Export format	UTF-8 CSV; both files inspected.
Re-importing the export	Reimport was not performed; update by native ID was not established.
Cancelling	Bootstrap Free offers Aan de slag; no downgrade or cancellation was confirmed.

What the exit test does not show:

• Reimport and export after trial expiry.
• Actual cancellation and deletion.
• Fields not entered in the documented subset.

How to actually use Breezy HR

Breezy's own "Getting Started with Breezy" article routes you through eight topics in order: what Breezy is, user settings, adding users, customising the career portal, creating a position, adding and managing candidates, integrations, and further reading; the Getting Started collection holds 11 articles in total.

Distilled from Everything above comes from vendor material only, Breezy's public pricing page and its own help center, opened and read; we found no independent walkthrough worth citing. Pricing re-read 27 September 2026 by plain fetch of breezy.hr/pricing: all paid amounts, the Bootstrap cap of one active pool or position with candidates visible for 30 days, and Onboard from $49 a month unchanged; plus the trial terms and AI and SMS credit prices. breezy.hr/llms.txt carries no pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Can you export your data from Breezy HR?

Exit check 2026-10-29; route excerpt: Candidates > select both > menu > Export Candidates; came along (excerpts): Both names, email fields, pool and stage are retained; lost (excerpts): The summary/free-text field is absent from the export and from the available column list / reqId is empty; re-import: not tested.

What does Breezy HR cost?

The free Bootstrap plan covers one open position with unlimited users, permanently. Paid runs $157, $273 and $439 a month billed annually ($189, $329 and $529 monthly) for Startup, Growth and Business, with Pro quoted. Read on 17 August 2026 and again, unchanged, on 27 September 2026.

Why does 'unlimited users' matter here?

Because most applicant tracking is sold per recruiter seat, so involving hiring managers costs money. Breezy includes unlimited users and unlimited open positions on every paid tier, which changes the comparison for a small company where five people interview but nobody recruits full-time.

Is onboarding included?

No: it is a separate product starting at $49 a month, providing automated role-based workflows that sync with the ATS. If your reason for buying is the handover from offer to first day, budget that alongside the hiring plan rather than assuming it is bundled.

Is this a hands-on review of Breezy HR?

Yes. We tested Breezy HR ourselves on 2026-10-29; the section above says what we tested, what we found and what we did not test, and where a figure comes from the vendor's own documentation instead. Most of our reviews are researched rather than run; we say which is which. We name what each tool is good and bad at, and we earn a commission only if you sign up, at no cost to you.
