Jobo vs TheirStack

TheirStack figures checked August 18, 2026 from its public pages.
What separates Jobo from TheirStack?
A job postings, technographics, and buying-intent data platform built for go-to-market teams that treat hiring as a sales signal.
The clearest split is what surrounds the job data. TheirStack joins each posting to a company's technology stack and buying-intent signals, keeps an archive back to 2021, and prices everything in credits that roll over for 12 months—a shape built for account research and outbound triggers. Jobo surrounds its listings with delivery machinery instead: 15-minute sync into PostgreSQL, Supabase, Bolt, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Algolia, and Meilisearch, CSV, JSON, and Parquet exports, and expired-job tracking that keeps a live job product clean.
Freshness guarantees differ in kind, not just degree. Jobo publishes a discovery window—95% of new postings within 3 hours—and tracks expirations separately, which matters when users apply through your product. TheirStack publishes an intake rate of 305k+ new jobs per day without a stated re-check interval, which is the right economics for spotting hiring signals but a different contract than keeping a job board's listings current.

Which one should you choose?
Neither product wins every use case. These are the honest splits, based on what each is built for.
Choose Jobo if
- You are building a job product—board, search, or matching—where 95% of new postings within 3 hours and free expired-job tracking decide whether users trust the listings.
- You want data delivered, not polled: continuous 15-minute sync into PostgreSQL, Supabase, Bolt, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Algolia, and Meilisearch, plus Parquet, CSV, and JSON exports for pipelines.
- You want billing that never makes a job compete with a company lookup for the same unit—jobs are the only billed unit, and API requests are free.
- You index 4m+ fresh jobs a month sourced from career pages directly, with matched company data included rather than sold as a separate credit cost.
Choose TheirStack if
- You sell to companies, not job seekers: hiring signals joined to 33k tracked technologies and buying-intent data are a genuinely different product than raw listings.
- You need history—TheirStack's archive reaches back to 2021 across 352k sources, where Jobo sells fresh flow, not an archive.
- Your usage is spiky: $49/month entry credits that roll over for 12 months suit irregular research workloads better than a monthly included-jobs pool.
How do you switch from TheirStack?
Two steps, both reversible—run the feeds in parallel and cut over when the numbers hold.
Separate the two jobs first
Teams often use TheirStack for one product feature (sales signals) and a jobs API for another (live listings). If you only need the listings side, map your consumer to Jobo's 25+ normalized fields with server-side column mapping; if you also need technographics, keep both—they meter differently, so splitting usage usually costs less than forcing one provider to do both.
Test the freshness contract
The $5 free starting balance requires no credit card. Pull a day of listings for your segments and measure discovery lag and expiry accuracy against what your product shows today—those two numbers, not archive size, are what job-product users notice.
What do teams ask before choosing?
The questions that come up when weighing Jobo against TheirStack, answered with both providers' published numbers.
- Is Jobo a good alternative to TheirStack?
- For live job products, yes: Jobo sources from 150+ ATS platforms with hourly refresh, tracks expired jobs at no cost, and pushes data into your own database on a 15-minute cycle. TheirStack remains the better fit for sales intelligence built on hiring signals, technographics, and its archive back to 2021.
- What is the difference between Jobo and TheirStack?
- Audience and unit of value. Jobo sells fresh, career-site-direct listings with push delivery, billed per delivered job. TheirStack sells jobs joined to technographics and buying-intent signals, billed in credits shared across data types and aimed at go-to-market teams.
- How does Jobo pricing compare with TheirStack pricing?
- Jobo plans run $29 to $499 per month with a monthly included-jobs pool, or $3.00 per 1,000 jobs with no subscription; API requests are never billed. TheirStack's credit plans run $49 to $5,500 per month, one credit per job, with unused credits rolling over for 12 months.
- Does TheirStack cover more jobs than Jobo?
- The numbers measure different things. TheirStack publishes a cumulative archive—231M jobs back to 2021 across 352k sources. Jobo publishes flow: 4M+ fresh jobs indexed per month from career pages, with a stated discovery window and expiry tracking. An archive answers research questions; a fresh flow keeps a live product current.
- Can I use Jobo for hiring-signal sales intelligence?
- Partly. Jobo listings include matched company data at no extra cost, so new-posting alerts by company work. But Jobo does not sell technographics or buying-intent datasets—if scoring accounts by technology stack is the product, TheirStack's joined data is the stronger base.
