Glassdoor is not really an independent platform anymore, and that is the single most important thing to know before you shop for an alternative. In July 2025 its parent, Recruit Holdings, announced it was integrating Glassdoor into Indeed and cutting 1,300 roles across its HR technology segment, and Glassdoor's CEO stepped down that October. Indeed's own employer documentation now states that the Employer Branding Hub "brings your Indeed Premium Company Page and Glassdoor Enhanced Profile into a single interface".
The supply side changed too. Since 18 November 2025 new Glassdoor users have had to sign in with an Indeed account, and existing users were given until 20 April 2026 to connect their accounts or lose access. That follows the 2024 episode in which users reported real names being attached to supposedly anonymous profiles. None of this is fatal to Glassdoor, but it explains why recruiters are asking the question: the review pool that made the platform valuable is now downstream of decisions made at Indeed, and Glassdoor still publishes no list price for its employer products.
So the honest framing for this list is not "what replaces Glassdoor". It is "what gives you employer-brand reach, candidate flow, or reviews that Glassdoor no longer covers on its own". The recruiting stack keeps consolidating, and the platforms below split into two useful groups: places where candidates research you, and places where you go find candidates.

Employer Branding and Review Platforms
1. Indeed Company Pages
Indeed Company Pages let employers publish culture content, benefits and open roles, with their own review and rating system attached. Include it on your shortlist with your eyes open: this is not an escape from Glassdoor, it is the destination Glassdoor is being merged into. Jobs posted on Indeed distribute automatically to Glassdoor, and both profiles are now administered from one hub.
Price: Free basic company page; Premium Company Page is quoted, with no list price published.
Free Trial: Not applicable, the basic page is permanently free.
Scale: The largest job traffic source in most Western markets, and now the system of record for Glassdoor profiles too.
Key Feature: One interface for the Indeed Premium Company Page and the Glassdoor Enhanced Profile.
Best For: SMB to Enterprise.
Great for Recruiters: If your problem with Glassdoor was reach, this fixes it. If your problem was concentration risk, this makes it worse: you are consolidating your brand and your job distribution with one vendor.
2. kununu
kununu is the employer review platform of the German-speaking market and the closest thing to a true Glassdoor equivalent outside the US. It belongs to New Work SE, the same group as XING, which reports more than five million kununu reviews. In the DACH region a kununu score is often the score candidates actually check.
Price: Free basic employer profile; paid employer packages are quoted per package.
Free Trial: Available on request.
Scale: 5M+ reviews, concentrated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Key Feature: Genuine independence from the Indeed/Glassdoor axis, plus XING distribution.
Best For: Mid-market to Enterprise hiring in DACH.
Great for Recruiters: If you hire in German-speaking Europe, this is not an alternative, it is the primary. If you do not, its coverage of your company is probably close to zero.
3. Comparably
Comparably pairs culture reviews with compensation data and publishes the award lists that marketing teams like to cite. Worth knowing who owns it: ZoomInfo acquired Comparably in May 2022 and feeds its data into ZoomInfo's talent products, so this is another review site sitting inside a data company rather than a standalone.
Price: Quoted; no list price published.
Free Trial: Not published.
Scale: 15M+ ratings and reviews across roughly 60,000 companies at acquisition.
Key Feature: Culture plus compensation in one profile, sliced by department, gender and ethnicity.
Best For: Mid-market to Enterprise.
Great for Recruiters: The award programmes give employer-brand teams something concrete to publish. The reviews carry less candidate mindshare than Glassdoor's, so treat it as amplification, not as a replacement source of truth.
4. Built In
Built In is the strongest US alternative if your goal is specifically employer brand for technical roles. Companies build editorial profiles (culture, benefits, leadership, open roles) that rank in search, and Built In has leaned hard into how employers surface in AI answers, claiming 950,000 organic Google rankings across its company, job and content pages and 1,800+ employer customers.
Price: Demo-only; no list price published.
Free Trial: A free Employer Reputation Report is offered without a contract.
Scale: 1,800+ companies; national plus city-level tech communities.
Key Feature: Editorial company profiles engineered for search and AI discovery, not just a ratings page.
Best For: Mid-market to Enterprise hiring engineers and technical specialists in the US.
Great for Recruiters: This is employer branding you author rather than reviews you receive, which is the opposite trade-off to Glassdoor. Take the free reputation report first: the paid product is a real budget line and the audience is tech-specific.
5. Fairygodboss
Fairygodboss focuses on women's workplace experience: reviews and discussion covering culture, parental leave policy and equal treatment. It has been owned by The Muse since October 2022. The consumer brands still run separately, but the employer side is sold as one platform, so a deal here can also buy you The Muse's audience.
Price: Quoted; no list price published.
Free Trial: Not published.
Scale: The largest online career community for women in the US, now bundled with The Muse.
Key Feature: Review and community data specific to women's experience of your workplace.
Best For: SMB to Enterprise.
Great for Recruiters: Useful when gender representation is an actual, measured hiring goal. It is a narrow audience by design, so it supplements a general branding channel rather than replacing one.
6. InHerSight
InHerSight rates employers on 18 separate factors as scored by women, including salary satisfaction, maternity leave, flexible hours and women in leadership, across a database of more than 150,000 companies and over 8 million ratings. Unlike a single star score, the factor breakdown tells you exactly which part of your offer is losing candidates.
Price: Quoted; no list price published.
Free Trial: Not published.
Scale: 150,000+ companies rated, 8M+ ratings.
Key Feature: 18-factor scorecards rather than one aggregate rating.
Best For: SMB to Mid-market.
Great for Recruiters: The diagnostic value is real even if you never buy: your existing scorecard is public. The audience is smaller than Glassdoor's, so expect it to inform your messaging more than it drives your applications.
Candidate Sourcing and Engagement Tools
7. LinkedIn Talent Solutions
LinkedIn Talent Solutions is the default answer for reaching passive candidates, and its Career Pages product is a direct competitor to a Glassdoor Enhanced Profile: culture content and jobs shown to people already on the network. Note that LinkedIn does not publish Recruiter or Career Pages pricing either, so you are swapping one quote-only vendor for another.
Price: Quoted per seat; no list price published for Recruiter or Career Pages.
Free Trial: Available on some products.
Scale: The largest professional network, and the one candidates check before applying.
Key Feature: Search and InMail against a profile graph nobody else has.
Best For: SMB to Enterprise.
Great for Recruiters: Unmatched sourcing reach, but there are no employee reviews here, so it covers the branding and sourcing halves of Glassdoor and none of the reputation half.
8. HeroHunt.ai
HeroHunt.ai attacks the other side of the problem. Instead of improving how you look to candidates who come to you, its AI Recruiter searches across more than a billion profiles and runs the outreach, which matters more as job-board traffic concentrates behind fewer platforms.
Price: Free to start, no credit card; paid plans on top.
Free Trial: Yes, the free tier is permanent.
Scale: 1B+ profiles, 15,000+ recruiters.
Key Feature: Autonomous sourcing and outreach rather than a faster manual search.
Best For: SMB to Mid-market.
Great for Recruiters: It reduces how much your pipeline depends on any review site at all. It does nothing for your employer reputation, so it belongs next to a branding channel, not instead of one.
HeroHunt.ai
If the reason you are leaving Glassdoor is that inbound applications dried up, the fix is not another profile page. Every branding platform in the first half of this list depends on candidates finding you, and after the Indeed merger fewer of those doors are independent. HeroHunt.ai inverts that: its AI Recruiter searches 1B+ profiles, screens them, and sends the outreach, so your pipeline stops being downstream of one review site's traffic. The honest limit is that it covers exactly one half of what Glassdoor did. It generates no reviews, no ratings and no culture content, so candidates who research you before replying will still land on whatever profile you have elsewhere. Pair it with a branding channel, do not treat it as the replacement for one.
9. Wellfound
Wellfound is what AngelList Talent became: the jobs marketplace was spun out and renamed in November 2022, so any old angel.co/talent link you have saved is dead. It remains the startup and tech hiring channel, with 10M+ candidates, and it is unusually transparent about money for this list.
Price: Free job posting if the listing includes a salary range; Recruit Pro is $499 per month per seat.
Free Trial: The free tier covers posting, an ATS and ATS sync.
Scale: 10M+ candidates, 150K+ tech jobs.
Key Feature: Salary transparency is enforced on free posts, which is the thing candidates open Glassdoor for.
Best For: SMB, particularly startups.
Great for Recruiters: Free posting plus a published salary range answers the pay question before a candidate goes looking for it elsewhere. Recruit Pro at $499/mo per seat is priced per recruiter, so a five-person team is $2,495/mo: check the free tier carries you first.
10. Welcome to the Jungle
Welcome to the Jungle is the closest thing in Europe to a Glassdoor replacement built the other way round: instead of aggregating reviews, it produces photo, video and day-in-the-life content for company profiles that sit alongside your jobs. It acquired the UK's Otta in January 2024 to push into the UK and US.
Price: Quoted; no list price published.
Free Trial: Not published.
Scale: Around 5,500 client businesses; Otta added roughly 2M job seekers across the UK, US and EU.
Key Feature: Produced media profiles, so what candidates see is authored rather than crowdsourced.
Best For: Mid-market, strongest in France and continental Europe.
Great for Recruiters: Excellent if your culture is a genuine selling point and you want it shown properly. The flip side is the obvious one: content you commission carries less weight with candidates than reviews you cannot control.
11. Breezy HR
Breezy HR is the pragmatic pick for the part of Glassdoor you can simply take back in-house: a branded careers page, job distribution and a pipeline you own. It is an end-to-end ATS with a drag-and-drop hiring pipeline, and it is one of the few vendors in this article that publishes real numbers instead of a quote form.
Price: Bootstrap free; Startup $157/mo billed annually ($189 monthly); Growth $273/mo ($329 monthly); Business $439/mo ($529 monthly).
Free Trial: Yes on paid plans, and the free Bootstrap plan does not expire.
Scale: Unlimited users on every plan, including the free one.
Key Feature: Published, per-company pricing with no per-seat charge, which is rare in this market.
Best For: SMB to Mid-market.
Great for Recruiters: Unlimited users at a flat monthly price suits small teams where everyone interviews. Be clear on the limit though: Bootstrap allows one active position, so the jump from free to $157/mo happens the moment you open a second role.
Breezy HR
Worth putting this next to the rest of the shortlist: eight of the eleven platforms in this article route you to a sales call, and Glassdoor itself still publishes no employer price at all. Breezy HR is one of the three you can actually budget against before a demo, at $157/mo for Startup with unlimited users on every plan including the free one. Two caveats before you count it as a Glassdoor replacement. Bootstrap runs one active position, so a second open role moves you to the paid tier immediately, and an ATS produces no reviews and no employer rating. It gives you the careers page and pipeline you own outright, which is the distribution half of the problem, not the reputation half.
What happened to Hired
If you are working from an older shortlist, drop Hired. The pre-vetted tech and sales marketplace was acquired by the Adecco Group's LHH and wound down as a standalone product in 2024: hired.com now redirects to LHH, and its capabilities live inside LHH Recruitment Solutions as an agency service rather than a self-serve marketplace. Two of the tech marketplace brands recruiters routinely shortlisted in 2023 (Hired and AngelList Talent) no longer exist under those names, which is a reasonable argument against building your pipeline on any single marketplace.
How to choose
Work out which half of Glassdoor you are actually replacing, because no single platform on this list does both halves well. If you need reviews and reputation, your realistic options are regional or demographic: kununu in DACH, Comparably or InHerSight in the US, and Indeed itself if you accept the consolidation. If you need candidate flow, the answer is a sourcing tool (LinkedIn, HeroHunt.ai) or a niche marketplace (Wellfound, Welcome to the Jungle). If you need a channel you control, that is your own careers page and ATS, and Breezy HR is the cheapest published price to get one.
The one channel on this list you own outright, at a price you can read before you talk to sales.
One practical note on budgeting: of the eleven platforms here, only three publish a price at all. Glassdoor, Indeed Premium, Comparably, Built In, Fairygodboss, InHerSight, LinkedIn and Welcome to the Jungle all route you to sales. That is not a reason to avoid them, but it does mean you are comparing a small number of figures you can check against a larger number you cannot, so get the quotes before you shortlist, not after.
