Breezy HR Pricing 2026: Plans, AI Credits & Add-Ons Explained
· 4 min read
Breezy HR pricing runs from a free Bootstrap plan to Business at $439 to $529 a month, but the sticker price leaves out the AI. Breezy Intelligence is billed in credits ($30 per 100,000), and texting is an add-on. Here is what each Breezy HR plan really costs once AI screening and SMS are switched on. Figures are from breezy.hr/pricing and the Breezy help center, checked Nov. 1, 2026.
How much does Breezy cost?
Breezy lists four priced tiers. Bootstrap is free. Startup is $189/mo billed monthly or $157/mo billed annually. Growth is $329 or $273. Business is $529 or $439. A custom Pro plan is quoted. Annual billing "includes 2 months free" (breezy.hr/pricing). AI credits and SMS cost extra on every plan.
Is Breezy HR free? What the Bootstrap plan includes
Yes. Bootstrap is "Free Forever" with unlimited users, unlimited candidates, distribution to 50+ job boards and resume parsing. The limit: one active position or candidate pool at a time. To open a second role, you close or archive the first, or upgrade (breezy.hr/pricing).

Breezy Intelligence credits: what AI screening really costs
Breezy Intelligence powers Applicant Insights, Resume Audit, Activity Summary and candidate sourcing. Credits start at $30 per 100,000 (breezy.hr/pricing). Breezy estimates about 500 credits to review one candidate's qualifications, so 100,000 credits covers "about 200 candidate reviews" (Breezy help center). Credits don't expire, and a trial includes 100,000.
Credit math (illustrative, our numbers from Breezy's rates): 500 credits per review means about $0.15 per applicant. At 300 applicants a month, that is 150,000 credits, or about $45. Sourcing for a position is listed at about 50,000 credits per run, roughly $15 each time.
Add-ons: SMS texting and feature gates
SMS/Text Messaging is listed as an optional add-on on every plan. Feature gates matter too: scorecards and e-signatures start on Growth, while HRIS integrations and offer management start on Business (breezy.hr/pricing).
The $0 to $157 cliff: when a second job triggers a paid plan
The free plan works until you have two open roles at once. Hypothetical example: a dental office hiring a hygienist while an assistant role is still open must pick one, or move to Startup at $157 a month billed annually ($1,884 a year) or $189 billed monthly.
Breezy HR vs a flat $199/mo ATS
Illustrative monthly cost, Startup billed monthly, 300 applicants screened with AI:
- Breezy Startup: $189
- AI credits: about $45
- Total: about $234 plus SMS
ReadyATS Basic is $199/mo with AI resume scoring and 1:1 texting (1,000 texts a month) included (power.readyats.com). Breezy wins if one role at a time is enough, and its free tier is genuinely useful.
