Breezy HR vs Workable
Both are credible. They are good at different things — here is how to tell which matches your problem.
Breezy HR: pleasant, visual pipeline management with a generous feature set for the price, and a free tier that genuinely works for very small teams. Workable: a mature, full-featured ATS with excellent job board distribution, a very large template library, and integrations with almost everything. The choice usually comes down to whether you need depth in one area or a single system covering more of the process.
Breezy HR in short
Pleasant, visual pipeline management with a generous feature set for the price, and a free tier that genuinely works for very small teams.
Watch out for: Assessment depth. It will tell you where a candidate is; it will not help you work out whether they are any good.
Workable in short
A mature, full-featured ATS with excellent job board distribution, a very large template library, and integrations with almost everything. If you need to advertise roles widely, it is genuinely strong.
Watch out for: The AI features are additions to an ATS rather than the centre of the product, and the assessment side is thinner than the sourcing and posting side.

Which should you pick?
Pick Breezy if budget is the binding constraint. Pick HireIQ if a bad hire would cost you more than the difference.
Pick Workable if job board distribution and integration breadth are your priority. Pick HireIQ if your problem is the quality of your interviews, not the quantity of your applicants.
A third option worth knowing about
If you are comparing these two because you want structured interviews without running a large platform, HireIQ covers interview intelligence and the pipeline in one tool at €99/month published pricing — and coaches interviewers on their technique, which neither of the above is built to do.
