Pricing questions, answered
How do credits work?
Every plan includes one monthly pool of credits you spend across all three screening methods. A resume scored by AI Match is 1 credit, an assessed candidate is 2 (all three assessments included), and a completed one-way interview is 5. A heavy resume month and a heavy interview month draw from the same pool, so you never have to guess the split up front.
Do I pay per role?
No. You buy a monthly pool of credits and spend them however you screen. A role is just a useful way to estimate how many credits you will need, and the calculator does that for you. Two light roles or one heavy one draw from the same pool either way.
When does a credit get charged?
Only when a screening gives you a result to act on. A resume scored by AI Match, a completed assessment, or a submitted one-way interview. If a candidate never starts or does not finish, it costs nothing. Re-opening a result you already paid for never charges you twice.
How much does each plan cost?
Starter is $49 per month, billed monthly only. Core is $119 per month, or $99 per month billed annually. Team is $239 per month, or $199 per month billed annually. Scale is $599 per month, or $499 per month billed annually. Annual billing gives you 2 months free, and your whole year of credits is available up front. Custom pricing starts where Scale ends. Book a call and we will build it around your volume.
Do unused credits roll over?
On Core, Team, and Scale, unused monthly credits roll over for 12 months while you stay subscribed, up to a cap of 3 times your plan's monthly pool, so a quiet month is not wasted. Go annual and your whole year of credits is available up front to use whenever you hire. Starter is a flat monthly pool with no roll-over. Rolled-over credits are forfeited if you downgrade or cancel.
What happens if I run out?
You are never stopped mid-hire. As you get close we flag it, and extra screening on Core, Team, or Scale is billed at a flat $0.25 per credit. Starter is a hard cap with no overages, so a busy week never turns into a surprise bill. The calculator shows when moving up a plan is the cheaper option.
Is every feature on every plan?
Yes. Resume screening, one-way interviews, and assessments ship on every plan, along with AI Match scores and reasoning, Candidate Shorts, full transcripts, custom branding, unlimited positions, and unlimited team members. Plans differ on the size of your credit pool, not on what you can do.
How many credits does one role take?
A typical role takes about 150 to 250 credits, and that is what the roles-a-month ranges on each plan assume. Screening resumes only costs less: a role with about 75 applicants takes about 75 credits. Add assessments and one-way interviews for your shortlist and a role usually lands between 150 and 250. The calculator above gives you an exact figure for how you screen. On Core billed annually, a 150 to 250 credit role works out to about $25 to $41.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial that includes 30 credits. No credit card required, and you can cancel anytime.
How much does it cost per applicant?
It depends on the plan and how deep you screen. A credit costs about 25 cents on Starter, 17 cents on Core billed annually (20 cents monthly), 13 cents on Team, and 12.5 cents on Scale. So screening a resume runs about 12 to 25 cents, an assessed candidate 25 to 50 cents, and a completed one-way interview 62 cents to $1.25. Extra credits past your pool are a flat 25 cents each on Core and up.
What does it cost to screen 500 applicants?
Screening 500 resumes takes 500 credits, which fits inside Core's 600-credit pool, so about $99 a month billed annually or $119 monthly. Screen the shortlist deeper, say 75 candidates assessed and 25 one-way interviews, and the total is about 775 credits. Core plus 175 extra credits at 25 cents comes to about $143 a month on annual billing, and the calculator above works out the cheapest plan for any mix.
Is there a per-user or per-seat fee?
No. Every plan includes unlimited team members and unlimited positions, and the price is set by the size of your monthly credit pool, not by how many people log in or how many jobs you post.
Did Truffle drop the $149 a month plan?
Yes. The flat $149 a month plan was retired in June 2026 and replaced by credit-based plans. The current plans are Starter at $49 a month, Core at $99 a month billed annually or $119 monthly, Team at $199 or $239, Scale at $499 or $599, and Custom for volumes past Scale. There is no Growth or Pro plan. If a third-party listing still shows a $149 plan, a per-user price, or a per-position price, it is out of date.
Do I need a demo or sales call to start?
No. Truffle is self-serve. Sign up, start the 7-day free trial with 30 credits and no credit card, and you can be screening your first role in about 10 minutes. The only plan that involves a call is Custom, for volumes past Scale's 4,000-credit pool.
