Is there a free trial?

New accounts get 14 days on the $29/mo Starter plan with no credit card. You can publish the board, connect a custom domain, and charge for job posts during that window. When the 14 days end, the account returns to the Free plan and a published board goes back behind its password unless you subscribe. The Free plan itself has no time limit.

Is there a discount for annual billing?

Yes. Annual billing saves roughly 20% versus monthly on most plans, and about 34% on Starter. You switch to annual yourself in Settings > Billing by choosing the annual option for your plan.

What is the difference between Basic and Grow?

Capacity. Grow gives you more than three times the active jobs, subscribers, and team seats as Basic for an extra $100 per month. Both include the same core features. Basic is $139/mo (1,500 active jobs, 10,000 subscribers, 5 seats); Grow is $239/mo (5,000 active jobs, 35,000 subscribers, 10 seats).

Plans and pricing

Cavuno's subscription plans, what each includes, annual billing and discounts, and the free plan.

By Abi Tyas Tunggal and Jack Walsh

Cavuno is a paid subscription. New accounts start on a 14-day Starter trial with no credit card. After that you can stay on the Free plan while you build, and you only pay to keep a board public. Prices below are what you pay Cavuno for your subscription, not what employers pay to post on your board (that is pricing you set yourself through Stripe).

Plans

Monthly prices, with the effective per-month cost when billed annually in brackets:

Free ($0): 100 active jobs, 300 subscribers, 1 team seat. Your board stays private (not public) and API access is not included. Good for building and exploring before launch.
Starter ($29/mo, or $228/year which is about $19/mo): 300 active jobs, 1,000 subscribers, 1 team seat. Adds a public board and API access. The usual starting point for a new board going live.
Basic ($139/mo, or $1,308/year which is about $109/mo): 1,500 active jobs, 10,000 subscribers, 5 team seats.
Grow ($239/mo, or $2,268/year which is about $189/mo): 5,000 active jobs, 35,000 subscribers, 10 team seats.
Advanced ($439/mo, or $4,188/year which is about $349/mo): 15,000 active jobs, 100,000 subscribers, 25 team seats, and the option to remove powered by Cavuno from the footer.
Enterprise: custom limits and pricing for very high volume. Contact the team.

Every paid plan includes AI tagging and enrichment, semantic search, backfill, the website builder, the built-in blog, candidate profiles, custom domains, the embeddable jobs widget, and the ability to charge employers for posts. Higher plans raise the capacity limits rather than unlock different features.

The Starter trial, the free plan, and going live

New accounts get 14 days of the Starter plan with no credit card. During the trial you can publish the board, connect a custom domain, and use Starter limits. The trial is announced on the last onboarding screen; the sidebar plan pill reads Starter trial.

When the 14 days end, the account returns to the Free plan. A board you published during the trial goes back behind its password unless you have subscribed. Jobs and settings stay in place.

The Free plan is yours to keep as long as you want while you build. A Free-plan board stays private. To keep a board public after the trial, upgrade to Starter or above from Settings → Billing. See the quick start for the signup and publish steps.

Annual billing and discounts

Annual billing is available on every paid plan and saves roughly 20% compared to paying monthly, with Starter saving about 34%. Billed annually, the plans work out to about $19 (Starter), $109 (Basic), $189 (Grow), and $349 (Advanced) per month. To switch, go to Settings > Billing and choose the annual option for your plan. It is self-serve, so you do not need to contact support.

Changing plans

Upgrades take effect immediately and downgrades apply at the end of your billing cycle. See Manage subscription for the steps. Prices shown here are current at the time of writing and may change; the live pricing page is always the source of truth.
