Attribute	DataSnipper	Workable
Plans	Start Custom Teams that need matching and extraction in Excel.	StandardOur pick $299/mo for 1 to 20 employees, billed yearly Small businesses hiring a few roles at a time.
	AccelerateOur pick Custom Teams adding AI agents to their testing.	Premier $599/mo for 1 to 20 employees, billed yearly Teams that hire often and want everything included.
	Elevate Custom Large firms running agents end to end.	Enterprise $719/mo for 1 to 20 employees, billed yearly Larger companies with more admin needs.
		AI credits $600 for 5,000 down to $0.095 each in bulk Teams using the AI agents heavily.
Which plan to pick	Start is enough if your team mainly vouches and ticks figures. Accelerate is where the AI agents come in, which is what most teams buying now want. Ask about seat minimums before you commit.	Standard covers most small businesses. Start the free trial, which includes the full Enterprise feature set, then buy Standard unless you need texting and video interviews often, in which case Premier works out cheaper than adding them one by one.
