Distro review
A focused ATS for small recruiting teams, with strong hiring workflows and costly expansion tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Distro is an AI-powered hiring platform with an integrated applicant tracking system for organizations recruiting globally. It supports job distribution, customizable candidate pipelines, resume parsing, team scorecards, interview scheduling, branded career pages, offer management, analytics, AI candidate scoring, and HRIS connections. The ATS can operate standalone or alongside Distro’s AI hiring features, making it a fit for small recruiting teams that want a focused modern workflow rather than a broad enterprise ecosystem.
Pricing is split between Distro’s paid plans and the ATS Add-On. The Starter plan costs $99 per month and includes AI resume vetting, candidate matching, asynchronous video screening, standard analytics, and standard support; five users are included. Growth costs $1,000 per month and adds an AI Recruiting Assistant, priority candidate matching, advanced analytics, priority support, and ATS integrations. Scale costs $3,000 per month and adds a dedicated account manager, custom screening workflows, Employer of Record access, Contractor Payments access, and SLA guarantees. Enterprise has custom user and credit limits, dedicated implementation support, custom integrations, advanced compliance tools, volume hiring programs, and an executive support SLA. The ATS Add-On costs $500 per month and includes distribution, pipelines, parsing, collaboration, scheduling, and a branded career page.
Its strongest case is workflow coverage: Distro connects job boards including Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter with structured candidate data, scorecards, calendar sync, reminders, offers, source tracking, and HRIS integrations. The web-only platform keeps the product focused, but the listed ecosystem is comparatively narrow. Teams that need core recruiting workflows, AI-assisted screening, and career-page support should consider Distro. Organizations prioritizing extensive platform integrations or lower-cost access to advanced tiers may be better served by an alternative ATS.
