Everything you need to know about switching from Ashby to PontaHR.
How long does it take to migrate from Ashby?
Most teams are fully migrated within 24-48 hours. Free data migration is included with every plan — we'll transfer your candidates, job listings, and hiring history so you don't lose anything. No IT involvement required.
Will my team need training to use PontaHR?
No. PontaHR is designed to be intuitive from day one. Most teams are up and running the same day, without a training call. If you ever need help, our support team is available via Intercom chat with fast response times.
What's included in the €149/month Grow plan?
Everything. Unlimited users, unlimited job listings, unlimited candidates, AI-powered features, email and scheduling, visual reporting, and priority support. No hidden fees, no metered credits, no annual lock-in.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. PontaHR is month-to-month with no annual contracts required. You can cancel anytime with no penalties. We believe you should stay because you love the product, not because you're locked in.
How is PontaHR different from Ashby?
Ashby genuinely shines for recruiting-ops-heavy scale-ups — if you have a recruiting team living in dashboards, it's a strong tool. For 10–100-person companies where hiring managers do the hiring, Ashby means paying roughly double for depth you won't open, with AI metered by credits. PontaHR gives you the features that actually get used, AI included, for €149/month flat.
