Remote Job Posting Sites and the Best Places to Post Remote Jobs for Employers, With What Each One Costs

You can post remote jobs on remote-only boards such as We Work Remotely, Remotive, RemoteOK, Jobspresso and LatestRemote, on general sites such as Indeed and LinkedIn, and on niche sites such as Wellfound for startups and Dice for technology roles. The remote-only boards charge a flat fee and every reader is already looking for remote work. The general sites let you post free and sell visibility on top.

The difference that matters is not the size of the audience. It is how much of that audience wants the job you are offering. On a general site a remote listing sits next to thousands of office roles, and many people who apply would have applied to anything nearby. On a remote-only board the filter has already happened. That is why a board with a smaller readership can still produce a shorter, better shortlist.

A second difference is who checks the listing. Jobspresso says every job on its board is hand-picked and manually reviewed. RemoteOK and Remotive both state a guarantee of 200 or more apply clicks, or they bump or repost the listing at no charge. Indeed and LinkedIn apply quality rules, but at their scale nobody reads your post before it goes live. On this board every listing carries a salary range and the employer check on the contact domain before it is published.

The best site to post a remote job depends on the role. For engineering, RemoteOK, Remotive and Dice reach technical candidates. For support, operations, sales and marketing, We Work Remotely, Jobspresso and LatestRemote reach remote candidates across functions. For startups, Wellfound. For senior people who are not job hunting, LinkedIn.

No board wins every row, and a page that tells you otherwise is usually selling its own. Our own board is a good fit for fully remote roles in the US where you want to publish a salary range and hear only from people who want remote work. It is a weaker fit for a role that needs someone in one city, because nobody here is looking for an office.

Posting a remote job costs $0 to $496 per listing in 2026. Indeed, LinkedIn and Wellfound let you post free and charge for visibility. Paid remote-only boards run $199 a month here, $299 on We Work Remotely, Remotive and RemoteOK before add-ons, and $349 on Jobspresso for 90 days.

Sticker prices hide two things. The first is duration. We Work Remotely and RemoteOK sell 30 days, Remotive bills monthly, and Jobspresso sells 90 days for $349. Divided by the day, that is about $9.97 on We Work Remotely, $6.54 on a $199 monthly plan and $3.88 on Jobspresso. If your searches usually run two or three months, a long listing is worth more than a cheap one.

The second is the checkout. RemoteOK's form lists $299 as the starting price, then arrives with three extras already ticked: your logo beside the post ($49), an email blast to its candidate list ($99) and a yellow highlight ($49). Leave them in and the button reads $496, which is 66 percent above the headline price. Those extras may be worth it for your role. The point is to decide, rather than inherit the default. Remotive handles it with tiers instead: $299 Basic, $398 Plus and $448 Premium, the top tier adding a pin to the top of the main page for 7 days.

For the general sites the cost is a budget rather than a price. Indeed's sponsored minimum is $5 a day or $150 a month, and LinkedIn promoted posts are reported at about $7 to $10 a day. Both keep spending for as long as you let them. Our breakdown of the cost to post a job on every major site covers the auction mechanics, and the Indeed job posting cost page explains what a sponsored budget actually buys.

Yes. Indeed lets you mark a job as remote when you create the post, and many jobs can still be posted free, subject to Indeed's quality rules and usage limits. To get steady visibility you usually need to sponsor the post, from a minimum of $5 a day or $150 a month.

What Indeed cannot do is keep the audience remote. Your listing appears in searches from people who filtered for remote work and from people who simply searched your job title in their city. For a high-volume role that is useful, because more applications is the goal. For a single specialist hire it can mean a long list of applicants to screen who never read the word remote. Employers who hit that problem usually keep Indeed for volume and add one remote-only board for quality, which is the pattern our comparison of Indeed alternatives for employers covers in more depth.

Three decisions come before you pick a board, and each changes which one is right.

Where can the hire legally live? A remote role is still employment in a specific US state, with that state's payroll registration, withholding and wage rules. If you can only employ in eight states, say so in the listing, or you will pay to screen applicants you cannot hire. Our guide to hiring remote employees in another state covers what registering in a new state involves.

Will you publish the salary? Several states now require a pay range on any posting that could be filled by someone living there, which for a remote role can mean most of the country. Check the rules in our pay transparency laws by state checker. RemoteOK and Remotive both ask for a salary on the form, and every listing on this board carries one, because the range is what stops mismatched applications before they start.

How many roles, for how long? One role for 30 days is a single listing anywhere. Five roles open for a quarter is a plan, and the per-listing math changes: five listings on a 30 day board at $299 each is $1,495 a month, against $649 a month for five live listings on our Growth plan. If you hire technologists at that pace, compare against Dice pricing, which sells slots and plans rather than single posts.

Once the board is chosen, the listing does the rest. A post that names the time zone overlap, the salary range, the states you can hire in and the first project gets better applicants on any site. Our template for how to write a remote job description walks through each part.

A single listing is $199 a month on the Starter plan, or $1,188 billed yearly (half the monthly price). It stays live until you cancel, shows your salary range, carries an employer check on the contact domain, and sends applicants straight to your inbox or your ATS link. We take no commission on the hire.

Teams hiring two to five roles use Growth at $649 a month, which adds priority placement in the feed, an alert to matching job seekers when the post is published, applicant filtering by time zone and salary fit, and a verified company profile. Scale covers unlimited listings for teams that are always hiring. Every plan is on the pricing page, and if you are still comparing, our breakdown of how much it costs to post a remote job puts each option into a full hiring budget.
