The Candidately alternative for small UK and EU agencies
One-click anonymisation plus translation in the same pass, EU data storage, and flat plans sized for a 2-to-15-person desk — billed monthly or annually, not annual-only.
Quibench vs Candidately: the honest take
Candidately deserves a straight comparison, because at low volume it is cheaper than us. Its AI Resume Builder is priced at around $1 per exported CV with unlimited users, its Client Portal at $99/month plus $49 per extra user, and you can start free. It also has the social proof we do not: 116 reviews on G2, where it is ranked the number one staffing platform for ease of implementation in its category.
There are trade-offs. Candidately is billed annually, with no true month-to-month option, and reviewers report that resume credits cannot be self-purchased — topping up goes through its support team. It is a US (New York) company, its product centre of gravity is client submission and portals rather than the formatting workflow itself, and we could not verify translation support.
Quibench comes at the same job from the small-agency side: parse any CV, rebuild it into a branded template we build for you from sample CVs, then anonymise and translate it in one pass. The interface works in English, German and Polish, candidate CVs are stored in the EU (AWS Frankfurt), and plans are flat — free for 3 CVs a month, then Pro from €26/month billed annually (€29 month-to-month) for 50 CVs — with monthly billing available.
Where Candidately wins: Candidately wins on price per CV at low volume — around $1 per exported CV — and on social proof: 116 G2 reviews and a number-one ease-of-implementation ranking in its G2 category, against our zero public reviews today. If you format occasionally and want the most-reviewed budget option, Candidately is the stronger pick.

Frequently asked questions
Is Quibench a good Candidately alternative?
For small UK and EU agencies, yes — with an honest caveat. Candidately is cheaper at low volume (around $1 per exported CV) and has far more public reviews. Quibench’s case is the workflow: anonymise and translate a CV in one pass, an interface in English, German and Polish, EU data storage, and flat plans from €26/month billed annually (€29 month-to-month) with monthly billing available.
How much does Candidately cost compared to Quibench?
Candidately’s AI Resume Builder is around $1 per exported CV with unlimited users, and its Client Portal is $99/month plus $49 per extra user — billed annually. Quibench is free for 3 CVs a month, then Pro is €29/month — or €26/month billed annually (€312/year) — for 50 CVs, and Team is €99/month (€89/month billed annually) for 200 CVs. At low volume the per-CV price is typically cheaper; close to a plan’s CV allowance the flat plan typically wins.
