The numbers on this page come from the inputs you enter and the method stated: 3,600 seconds to an hour, 52 weeks to a year, twelve months to a year, and nothing else. No industry shrinkage figure, no occupancy benchmark and no assumption about your attrition; every one of those is yours to enter.
Applicant tracking software is usually priced per user per month, sometimes per open req, and occasionally flat for the whole desk, and the three models cross over at predictable points. Per-seat products in this category commonly start around $19 per user per month on monthly billing, or $15 billed annually (Manatal Professional, manatal.com/pricing, read 4 September 2026). Reqnix Pro is $189 a month flat for the whole desk. At ten people touching the system those two are the same money; below ten the per-seat product is cheaper and above ten the flat one is, and that arithmetic is the whole of the headline comparison. What the headline misses is that per-seat pricing quietly discourages the thing that makes an ATS work, which is hiring managers using it directly. This page sets out the models, the crossover, and the costs that do not appear on a pricing page.

The three models and where they cross
Per user, per req and flat. Per-user is cheapest for a very small desk and gets expensive as managers are added; per-req suits low-volume hiring with a big team; flat suits a desk where many people touch a few roles at once.
The cost of counting seats
When each hiring manager is a line on the bill, the practical answer is to keep them off the system and forward emails instead. That undoes the concurrency and history that were the reason to buy, and it does not show up as a cost anywhere on the invoice.
What is not on the pricing page
Implementation or onboarding charges, limits on open reqs, charges for extra storage or for the careers page, and what happens to your data at cancellation. All four are fair to ask about before signing anything.

Applicant tracking software pricing: common questions
What is a typical price? Per-seat entry tiers in this category commonly start around $19 per user per month on monthly billing (Manatal Professional, read 4 September 2026). Beyond that the range is wide and depends heavily on what is bundled.
Is annual billing worth it? It is usually cheaper per month and it commits you before you know whether the product fits. For a first purchase, monthly for a quarter and then annual is a reasonable pattern.
Are free tiers useful? Sometimes, and they are usually limited by open reqs or users. The sheets on this site are free with no limits because they are arithmetic, not a record.
