Sonara Pricing Overview

Why Pricing Matters When Automating Hiring

Let’s be honest—pricing can be confusing, especially when it comes to AI tools for job matching and interviews. You want to know what you’re paying for and if it’s worth your time. We’ve designed our pricing with transparency in mind, so you don’t get any surprises. Whether you’re applying for jobs or managing hiring at your company, you’ll find options that match your needs without overspending.

From our experience, the key is balancing affordability with powerful features that actually make a difference. So here’s a quick look at what you get across the board and how pricing stacks up.

Testing the Waters with Our Free Tier

If you’re just starting out, our free tier lets you explore Sonara’s core features with no risk. You can apply to up to 10 jobs a month using AI matching, get basic resume advice, and schedule interviews with simple tools. It’s a solid way to see if our platform fits your workflow before upgrading.

Now, here’s the thing: the free plan does have limits, so if you’re serious about scaling your job search or hiring process, you’ll want to consider the professional tiers. But from what users tell us, the free tier is more generous than you might expect.

• Up to 10 AI-matched job applications monthly
• Resume optimization tips tailored to your profile

Professional Plans: More Power, More Control

Most of our users choose professional plans because they offer a great balance of features and pricing. Whether you’re a job seeker or an employer, these plans give you the tools to automate repetitive tasks and focus on what matters.

Job Seeker Professional ($29/month)

This plan is designed for folks serious about landing their next role efficiently. You get unlimited AI-powered applications, advanced resume insights, and priority access to interview scheduling. Plus, the analytics dashboard provides valuable insights into how your applications perform so you can tweak your approach over time.

Employer Professional ($99/month)

If you’re managing hiring, this plan covers everything from candidate screening to interview coordination. It integrates seamlessly with popular ATS platforms and includes detailed hiring analytics to monitor your process. The time saved here can be huge, often paying for itself within weeks.

Enterprise Pricing: Tailored for Scale

When organizations grow, their needs get more complex. That’s why our enterprise solutions come with custom pricing based on your specific requirements. From full API access to custom AI training using your data, we work with you to shape a solution that fits.

Pricing usually starts around $500/month and scales with user count, integrations, and compliance demands. But here’s what’s important: the value you get in speed and quality of hires can be significant, often cutting time-to-hire by up to 40%.

What Influences Enterprise Pricing?

• User volume: More seats usually bring volume discounts.
• Integration complexity: Custom API work or legacy system hooks raise costs.
• Security needs: Compliance certifications and dedicated servers matter here.
• Custom AI training: Tailoring models to your industry or culture adds value.

How Pricing Breaks Down for Different Users

Pricing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about value. Let’s look at what these plans mean in practice.

For Individual Job Seekers

If you’re applying by hand, it takes 2-3 hours per application between research, tailoring your resume, and following up. At a $15/hour rate, that’s easily $20-$30 in time costs alone. Our $29/month professional plan helps you apply to 50-100 jobs with AI-driven focus, improving your chances and cutting your effort.

For Small Businesses Hiring

Recruiting agencies charge 15-25% of a hire’s salary—that can easily hit $7,500 or more for a $50,000 role. Our $99/month employer plan automates screening, scheduling, and analytics, saving your team hours each week and reducing the need for costly agencies.

For Enterprises

Big companies often pay $10,000-$50,000+ yearly for recruiting software. Our flexible enterprise pricing fits in the middle but delivers faster hires and better candidate experiences. Cutting hiring time from 6 weeks to 3 isn’t just a number—it boosts productivity and morale.

What’s Included—and What’s Extra

We want you to know exactly what you’re paying for. Our pricing covers hosting, maintenance, AI updates, core integrations, and standard support. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.

That said, some features might cost extra depending on your needs:

• Premium integrations with specialized HR software
• Custom AI training for enterprise clients
• Additional user seats beyond plan limits
• Priority or dedicated support options
• Custom reporting and analytics dashboards

Seasonal Deals and Payment Flexibility

We know budgets fluctuate, so we run seasonal promotions that can save you 10-25% during key hiring periods. Here’s a quick snapshot:

We also support monthly, quarterly, and annual billing so you can pick what fits your cash flow. Annual plans save you 15-20%, quarterly plans about 8-10%, and monthly gives you freedom without a long-term commitment.
