A capable free ATS with broad hiring workflows, while Premium costs $199 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Dover ATS is an applicant tracking system for startups and growing businesses. It covers candidate tracking across interview stages, no-code careers pages, job-board distribution, interview planning, scheduling, feedback forms, scorecards, email templates, and candidate communications. The Free ATS includes unlimited users and jobs, 100+ job board integrations, Gmail and Outlook integrations, candidate tracking, and access to a Help Center. That makes it a practical starting point for teams that need a structured hiring workflow without a monthly subscription.
Its strongest fit is the combination of hiring workflow depth and ecosystem coverage. Dover connects with Slack, LinkedIn, Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Google Meet, Zoom, Calendly, YC Work at a Startup, ZipRecruiter, Wellfound, and X Hiring. It also offers a Dover API, webhooks, and Dover MCP. Interview planning supports multi-part stages and assessments, while scheduling, feedback forms, and scorecards help teams organize decisions. The web and API platforms also give startups options for standard browser-based use and connected workflows.
The published plans show a clear difference between the free and paid tiers. Premium ATS costs $199 per month and includes everything in the free tier, plus up to 150 free basic LinkedIn job posts, unlimited free X job posts, AI applicant scoring, AI note taking, onboarding, and premium support. Startups should choose Dover if they value unlimited free users and jobs, broad job-board distribution, and structured interview workflows. Teams that need AI features, paid-tier posting options, or premium onboarding should budget for the Premium ATS; teams seeking those capabilities without a $199 monthly subscription should consider a different ATS.
