How is PontaHR different from Zoho Recruit?

Zoho Recruit charges per user — and you have to pay for every hiring manager who just wants to leave interview feedback. Plus, you can only create one hiring pipeline for all jobs, which is frustrating when you're hiring for different roles. PontaHR gives you unlimited users and jobs for $169/month flat, with custom pipelines for every role. No ecosystem lock-in, no surprise fees, no pipeline limitations.
