Kit vs BreezyHR: A Kanban board, or a pipeline per role.
BreezyHR moved SMB hiring onto a drag-and-drop board and hosts the video interview on it. Kit puts the candidate on a magic link and the pipeline in version control.
Who should choose what?
Choose Kit if you're:
- A startup with 5-50 people hiring your first 10 employees
- Need panel scheduling that holds up across time zones
- Want your assistant running labelled tools against the live pipeline
- Prefer per-seat pricing with no feature tiers
- Need open APIs and webhooks without paying for an enterprise tier
Choose BreezyHR if you're:
- An SMB that wants a simple, visual Kanban hiring board
- Need built-in video screening without third-party subscriptions
- Require native EEO/OFCCP compliance reporting for US federal contracts
- Hire primarily non-technical staff with linear workflows
- Want to syndicate jobs to 50+ boards with one click
- Need resume parsing in 20+ languages out of the box
What makes BreezyHR special
BreezyHR is well-known for three things: visual Kanban pipelines, built-in video screening, and mass job syndication.
Visual Kanban Pipeline
BreezyHR's whole interface is one drag-and-drop board. Candidates are cards you move between stages, and nobody needs training to read it. The metaphor holds up well for a small team watching a handful of roles.
Why this matters: A founder who is not a full-time recruiter can open the board and see where every candidate is standing.
Built-In Video Screening
BreezyHR runs live video meetings and one-way video assessments inside the ATS. An interviewer watches the candidate, reads the resume and fills in the scorecard on one screen, with no Zoom subscription in the way.
Why this matters: One window holds the recording, the resume and the scorecard, and one fewer subscription shows up on the card.
Mass Job Syndication
BreezyHR maintains integrations with over 50 free and premium job boards including Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter. Write one job description and distribute it globally with a single click. All inbound applications flow back into one pipeline.
Why this matters: Small businesses without dedicated recruitment marketing teams get maximum reach with minimal effort. One click replaces hours of manual posting across individual boards.
Why startups choose Kit over BreezyHR
Four things a Kanban board does not do.
Your MCP client drives Kit
BreezyHR's AI ("Breezy Intelligence") runs on a consumable credit system starting at $30 per 100,000 credits. Kit publishes its work as MCP tools your own Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot client calls.
Every tool is labelled read-only, destructive, or reaches a real person before your assistant runs it.
Candidates never make an account
BreezyHR sends candidates to a portal they sign into. In Kit a candidate clicks a magic link and is already in, with no password to set and no seat on your bill.
Security researchers and training participants arrive the same way. None of them appear on your invoice.
Scheduling without a second tool
BreezyHR handles basic 1:1 calendar syncing but struggles with multi-interviewer panel scheduling across time zones. In Kit candidates self-book from your team's real availability and the Google Meet room is created with the slot.
Nobody on your team sends a calendar link by hand.
A pipeline per role
BreezyHR asks you to configure a pipeline for every new role. Kit ships a template per role, from a GitHub code assignment for engineers to a portfolio review for designers, and keeps the definitions as files you can version-control.
You edit a template instead of dragging stages into place again.
What Kit doesn't have
Three things BreezyHR does that Kit does not, and what we plan to do about each one.
Native EEO/OFCCP Reporting
BreezyHR includes pre-formatted reports designed for US federal Equal Employment Opportunity and OFCCP audit requirements.
Will we add this? Unlikely. Federal contractor audit formats are a different product from the one we are building.
20+ Language Resume Parsing
BreezyHR has spent a decade refining resume parsing across more than 20 languages. Kit is currently optimized for English-first environments.
Will we add this? Yes, expanding language support is on the roadmap, but BreezyHR holds the edge for multilingual parsing today.
Built-In Video Interviews
BreezyHR hosts live and one-way video interviews inside the ATS. Kit links out to a video tool and stores no video of its own.
Will we add this? No. Kit will not host video. We link to the tool you already pay for.
Philosophy differences
These tools reflect different worldviews about what hiring software should do.
Kit: Fewer things to maintain
Kit is built for a team that opens a role, not a team that maintains a board. Candidates self-book their own slots, resume fields come back with a confidence score attached, and the pipeline definition sits in your repo. The price is on the website.
BreezyHR: Visual simplicity
BreezyHR was built to get companies off spreadsheets and onto a visual board, and the Kanban interface is the whole idea. Now owned by LTG, it refines that feature set for SMB hiring managers who want the board to be obvious on first sight.
Pricing reality check
Kit
$8/seat/month
$8/seat, no feature tiers
- Hiring and security training in the seat price
- Unlimited job postings and candidates
- Scheduling and Google Meet links included

BreezyHR
$157-439/month + add-ons

Pricing reality check
BreezyHR's free tier is capped at one active job, and webhooks, HRIS sync and custom roles require the Business tier at $439/month. Kit charges one seat price with no feature tiers. VDP, Outreach and Compensation bill on top of that seat.
Switching from BreezyHR?
You'll love Kit if:
- Frustrated by reporting that can't answer an executive's question
- Need panel scheduling that holds up across time zones
- Want webhooks and APIs without paying for an enterprise tier
- Want your own Claude or Cursor client driving the pipeline over MCP
- Ready for role templates instead of building a pipeline by hand
Stay with BreezyHR if:
- Rely on built-in video screening for asynchronous assessments
- Need native EEO/OFCCP compliance reporting for federal contracts
- Only hire 1-2 people per year and the free tier works
- Need 20+ language resume parsing for international hiring
Data portability: BreezyHR allows basic CSV exports of candidate data. API access is throttled to 100 requests per minute and webhooks require the Pro tier, so deep data extraction may need to be batched over time.
Try Kit free for 30 days.
Card up front, cancel anytime in the first 30 days. Nobody from sales will call you either way.
