Which one fits your use case
One-off dataset. If you need a single bulk file, compare Bright Data ($250 minimum for 100,000 records), Techmap (one country for one month, from 333 €) and Hirebase historical exports (from $0.12 per record for the first 1,000, down to $0.001 at volume, $0.50 minimum). Coresignal datasets start from $1,000; TheirStack datasets are quoted.
Live API. For a product that queries jobs daily, the per-1,000 price and refresh speed matter most: Headcount Labs ($0.01 per 1,000 records), jobpostingsapi.com ($0.76), JobsPipe ($1.96, sub-1h from Scale), Hirebase (hourly on paid plans).
ATS-only scrapers. If you want only employer-posted jobs from applicant tracking systems: Fantastic.jobs (58 ATS platforms, polled hourly), jobpostingsapi.com (434 ATS and career-site sources), jobdataapi.com (100+ ATS providers), Hirebase (640k+ career pages). An Apify actor covers one site per scraper.
How we compare
Each vendor gets a rank from 1 (best) on four facts taken from its own pages. The list order is the weighted sum of those ranks, lowest first:
- 50%: entry price per 1,000 job records (lowest self-serve price at the smallest paid tier or pay as you go, whichever is lower). Flat-fee and undefined-credit plans rank last.
- 20%: free tier size. Monthly free allowances rank above one-time grants, which rank above timed trials, which rank above none.
- 15%: published refresh interval. Hourly or faster ranks above daily; "not published" ranks last.
- 15%: largest job count the vendor publishes (history or active, as stated). Source-count-only claims rank below job counts; none ranks last.
Ties break on price. Apify's $5 of monthly usage counts as 5,000 results at the actor's $1.00 per 1,000 (our calculation). Euro prices are ordered as listed (€2.00 per 1,000 between $1.96 and $2.50). We do not test coverage or freshness ourselves; those columns repeat what each vendor claims. Headcount Labs publishes this page and is listed; no vendor pays for placement.

Cheapest job postings API
On listed prices, Headcount Labs is cheapest at $0.01 per 1,000 records, with the first 100,000 records free each month; its page shows 5 million records costing $49. Next come jobpostingsapi.com at $0.76 per 1,000 on the $19 Starter plan (falling to $0.199 on the $199 Scale plan), the curious_coder LinkedIn scraper on Apify from $1.00 per 1,000 results, and JobsPipe at $1.96 per 1,000. Watch the unit: TheirStack and Coresignal charge per credit, and a company record costs more credits than a job. Mantiks credits are not defined on its page, so we could not price it per job.

TheirStack and Mantiks mention free trials without stating an amount. jobdataapi.com has no free plan. Adzuna's free key is meant for evaluation; commercial users get 14 days.
Bulk job postings dataset price
Bright Data sells job postings at $250 per 100,000 records with a $250 minimum, covering LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor, refreshed monthly unless you pay for faster. Techmap sells one country's full feed from 333 € a month, or historic plus current data for 4800 € a year on AWS Data Exchange, with daily JSON exports. Hirebase exports historical jobs from $0.12 per record for the first 1,000, falling to $0.001 at volume. Coresignal datasets start from $1,000, and TheirStack's jobs dataset (225M jobs) is priced by sales. jobdataapi.com's $1,750 ultra plan adds weekly CSV and Parquet downloads.
Job postings API with company data
Several vendors bundle employer records with jobs. TheirStack charges 3 API credits per company and its app sells company credits that unlock job postings, technologies and firmographics. Hirebase plans include company lookups (10,000 on Starter) at $5 per 1,000 after that on Growth and Scale. Coresignal sells company records at 10 credits (core) or 20 (full) and lists 70M+ company records. jobdataapi.com adds a full company endpoint on access pro ($765). Fantastic.jobs includes organization enrichment, advanced from the 100,000-job plan. Mantiks combines company, job and contact search.
A recruiting tool needs to know which jobs are new, changed and closed without re-pulling the whole set. Fantastic.jobs offers Expired Jobs and Modified Jobs endpoints. jobpostingsapi.com has new, updated and closed feeds from its $49 Growth plan. JobsPipe includes a daily diffs feed from its Seeker plan; webhooks are not on the Free plan. Headcount Labs has a changes feed billed at the same per-record rate. TheirStack supports webhooks at 1 credit per job pushed. Hirebase adds resume embeds (1,000 on Starter) for matching candidates to jobs.
