Kardow review
A broad hosted job board platform for launching, automating and monetizing modern boards.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kardow is hosted job board software for entrepreneurs, associations, communities and businesses that want to launch and monetize a job board. It combines employer job posting and listing management with candidate applications, resume uploads, profiles and application tracking. The platform also includes job importing, paid job posts, bundles, subscriptions, paywalls, job alerts, newsletters, analytics, custom domains and SEO features such as Google for Jobs markup and sitemaps. It is available on web, iOS, Android and through an API, making it suited to organizations that want a managed board rather than software to host themselves.
Pricing is structured across Starter, Pro and Scale. Starter costs $79 per month or $708 per year and includes designer-built templates, an AI editor, a custom domain, employer and candidate accounts, applications and resumes, and paid job posts. Pro costs $179 per month or $1,608 per year, adding Kardow branding removal, custom email domains, subscriptions, packages and paywalls, custom fields and filters, AI screening questions and REST API access. Scale costs $379 per month or $3,408 per year and adds 25,000 import credits per month, unlimited team seats, invoices, payment links, priority support and up to three separate boards. A Launch service is available for a one-time $299.
The strongest fit is a board operator that wants monetization and workflow breadth in one hosted product. Stripe supports payments, while Zapier, webhooks, the REST API, MCP, ChatGPT and Claude extend the platform’s connections and automation options. Analytics cover views, visitors, referrers and clicks, and candidate alerts and SEO pages support ongoing discovery. Buyers focused on a simple, low-cost listing page may find the paid structure and tiered access broader than necessary. Organizations needing custom fields, API access, multiple boards or advanced monetization should look most closely at Pro or Scale.
