HRBlade
Visual ATS with a free plan for one job

A Breezy HR alternative for the one-person HR team

Short answer

Breezy HR is a friendly visual ATS with a free plan for one open position and paid plans from $157 a month billed annually. HRBlade is the alternative when your problem is volume rather than tracking: its AI screens every applicant, runs the first interview by video, phone or chat, and gives you the top five with quotes, for $99 a month. If you hire for one role at a time and want a free ATS, Breezy is hard to beat.

Frequently asked questions

Is HRBlade cheaper than Breezy HR?

It depends on how many roles you hire for. Breezy's free plan covers one active position, which no paid tool beats. Once you need more, Breezy Startup is $157 a month billed annually or $189 monthly, and HRBlade Small Business is $79 billed annually or $99 monthly with AI screening and AI interviews included. Busy months can need top-ups, available on any plan: +100 AI interviews for $39, +1,000 resume screens for $19 and +100 voice minutes for $49.

Can I use HRBlade alongside Breezy HR?

There is no native HRBlade integration with Breezy HR listed today. You can run HRBlade as the screening and first-interview layer and keep Breezy HR for the rest of your process, moving finalists across by hand, or use the ATS built into HRBlade instead.

Does Breezy HR use AI?

Yes. Breezy sells Breezy Intelligence as AI credits, and lists an Interview Analysis add-on that scores video interviews against your criteria. The interviews themselves are recorded by candidates or run live by your team.

Which is better for hourly or frontline hiring?

When one role draws hundreds of applicants, HRBlade's AI interviewing every applicant by phone, chat or video saves the most time. For a steady trickle of professional hires reviewed by a few managers, Breezy's visual pipeline works well.
