Siftboard FAQ: Pricing, Trial, and How It Works

Answers to the questions buyers ask most: pricing model, what the free trial covers, whether we scrape LinkedIn, how we compare to Apollo and ZoomInfo, ATS integrations, data freshness, privacy, and more.

How much does Siftboard cost?

Siftboard is $99/month flat. There are no per-seat fees, no per-hire fees, and no usage tiers. Whether you run one shortlist per month or twenty, the price is the same. A 14-day free trial is included — no credit card required to start.

Does Siftboard scrape LinkedIn or require a LinkedIn account?

No. Siftboard does not require a LinkedIn account, a LinkedIn Premium subscription, or any Chrome extension. Candidate sourcing uses publicly available professional data and AI-generated profiles — it does not perform live LinkedIn scraping.

Does Siftboard integrate with our ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable)?

Siftboard does not have a native integration with Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or other ATS platforms. Siftboard is pre-ATS: it generates a ranked shortlist of candidates before any applicants exist, solving the sourcing problem upstream of your ATS. The shortlist exports as a list you can paste into any ATS or email client.

Does Siftboard use Apollo, ZoomInfo, or another data vendor?

No. Siftboard generates candidate profiles using its own AI model. It does not resell, repackage, or sublicense data from Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, or any third-party contact database.

How fresh is the candidate data?

Candidate profiles are AI-generated at the time you submit your job description, using current public signals. They are not pulled from a static database that ages over time, so there is no "last refreshed" staleness window. Every shortlist is generated fresh on demand.

How does Siftboard handle my job data and candidate shortlists?

Job descriptions and candidate shortlists are stored in your Siftboard account and are never sold or shared with third parties. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by contacting support.

I saw Siftboard listed on Capterra, G2, or GetApp — is that an official partnership?

Capterra, G2, and GetApp are independent software directory sites. Siftboard has no paid editorial relationship with any of them. Their listings describe the product category based on publicly available information and are not sponsored placements.

Can I really cancel anytime? No contracts?

Yes. Siftboard is month-to-month with no annual lock-in and no cancellation fee. You can cancel from your account dashboard or by emailing support. Billing stops at the end of the current billing period.
