# Kardow

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/527468/Kardow

> Kardow is job board software for organizations that already have an audience and want to turn it into revenue: professional associations, media and news publishers, recruitment agencies, and newsletter operators.&#10;&#10;Most buyers arrive after hitting one of two walls. Either they are on a template platform and have run into "the software doesn't support that," or they have been quoted $30,000 and three months by an agency. Kardow exists for the gap between those. Each board is a real application rather than a theme layered on shared infrastructure, so layout, fields and workflows can be changed without limits — but it is priced like software, starting at $79 per month.&#10;&#10;Changes are made by describing them in plain language to the built-in AI editor. Ask for a salary filter, a featured employers section, or a different layout, and it applies to the live board. Most customers never touch code. On the Pro and Scale plans, teams who want to can export the board's source with the Kardow CLI, edit it in their own environment, and deploy it back.&#10;&#10;The platform covers what a working board needs: job posting with approval workflows and automatic expiry, bulk import, application tracking with status filtering, employer and candidate accounts, resume handling, screening questions, custom fields, blog and SEO pages, and Google for Jobs structured data on every listing. Scheduled imports pull relevant roles from careers sites and job feeds across more than 100 countries, so a new board launches with inventory rather than an empty page.&#10;&#10;Revenue tools include one-off job posts, bundles, monthly and annual employer subscriptions, and candidate paywalls. Payments run through Stripe or PayPal, or you can invoice larger clients directly. Kardow takes no percentage of what the board earns on any plan. Jobs, job seeker accounts and employer accounts are unlimited on every plan; import credits are the only metered resource.&#10;&#10;Support and onboarding: every plan includes hosting, SSL, security and updates. A launch service — domain and email connected, payments configured, first jobs imported, branding applied — is included free on Pro and Scale and available for $299 on Starter. Existing boards can be migrated by CSV, XML feed or API with URL redirects preserved, so search rankings carry over. Plans are $79, $179 and $379 per month, with two months free on annual billing and a 14-day trial.&#10;&#10;Customers include Telegrafi, one of the most-visited Albanian-language news portals, CTVC, a climate market intelligence publisher, and SelectSoftware Reviews.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Kardow

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$79.00
- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Kardow is priced as a flat monthly subscription with three plans. There is no per-user pricing, no setup fee, and no platform fee on what your board earns — Kardow takes 0% of your revenue on every plan.&#10;&#10;Starter is $79 per month and covers one board with templates, the AI editor, your own domain, paid job posts, employer and candidate accounts, applications, and blog and SEO pages. Pro is $179 per month and adds white-label branding, custom email domains, employer subscriptions, packages and a candidate paywall, custom fields and filters, AI screening questions, REST API access, and the ability to export your board's source code. Scale is $379 per month and adds up to three separate boards, unlimited team seats, invoicing and payment links, and priority support.&#10;&#10;Annual billing works out to two months free: $59, $134 and $284 per month respectively. Prices are also published in EUR and GBP. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no charge until the trial ends.&#10;&#10;Jobs, job seeker accounts and employer accounts are unlimited on every plan. Most job board platforms cap how many job seeker accounts your board can hold and charge more as your audience grows; Kardow does not. The only metered resource is job import credits, used when Kardow pulls listings from careers sites and job feeds to keep your board stocked: 2,000 per month on Starter, 8,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Scale.&#10;&#10;A launch service, where Kardow sets the board up and hands it over ready to sell, is included free on Pro and Scale and costs $299 one-time on Starter. Enterprise pricing is quoted per case and covers more than three boards, sub-folder hosting and migration planning.&#10;&#10;Typical buyers are associations, media and news organizations, recruitment agencies and newsletter operators who want to run a branded job board as a revenue line without building or maintaining the software.
- **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+
