EduJobs vs SchoolSpring
SchoolSpring is PowerSchool’s education job board, and unlike most of this market it publishes what it charges: $250 for one 60-day posting, $650 for three, and an Unlimited annual membership priced by student enrollment that you have to ask for. It has been running since the mid-2000s and reaches a national audience PowerSchool puts at over two million job seekers a year. EduJobs is a job board too, priced lower and sold with a light applicant system attached: 3 postings free, then $79 for one or $990 for 25. On a single posting that is roughly a third of their price.
you already run PowerSchool Unified Talent and want postings importing straight from it, or you are hiring into the Northeast where SchoolSpring has been the default board for two decades.
you are filling more than a handful of roles a year and the per-posting price matters, or you want somewhere for applications to land without buying an applicant system.

What SchoolSpring does well
Written before anything about us, because a page that misdescribes the tool you use every day is not worth reading.
- 1
They publish a rate card
You can read what SchoolSpring charges for single postings and packs without talking to anyone. Frontline and PowerSchool’s own applicant system both make you ask. We would rather compete on published numbers.
- 2
Running since the mid-2000s
SchoolSpring has been operating for around twenty years, and its pricing page claims over two million job seekers in the past year. That is their figure, not an independent one, but the audience is long-established.
- 3
Imports from PowerSchool Unified Talent
The Unlimited membership pulls postings directly from PowerSchool’s applicant system, so a district already running it does not re-enter them. EduJobs has no equivalent connector today.
- 4
Job credits do not expire
Their credits "can be used at any time and never expire", in their words. A single posting bought from EduJobs works the same way, and unused pack postings roll into a renewal.
Where EduJobs is different
These are design choices, and each one costs us something.
- 1
The per-posting price, plainly
They charge $250 for one posting and $216.67 each in the three-pack. We charge $79 and $39.60. Both numbers are published on both sides, so this is a comparison you can check rather than take from us.
- 2
Our Unlimited price is on the page
They price Unlimited by student enrollment, and so do we — that part is the same idea. The difference is that our tiers are printed on the pricing page and theirs need a call, which means you can build the budget line before anyone knows you were looking.
- 3
Somewhere for applications to land
A posting here can collect applications directly, with your screening questions in front of them, and a morning digest to whoever should see it. You do not need to own an applicant system for that to work, and you do not have to use it if you already do.
- 4
Every role, not only the classroom
Transportation, nutrition, facilities and aides sit on the same board as teaching roles, with pay shown wherever you state it. Those are the vacancies that stay open longest, and a two-field application is what fills them.
What each one costs
SchoolSpring
SchoolSpring publishes $250 for one 60-day featured posting and $650 for three, with credits that never expire. Unlimited is an annual membership priced by student enrollment, and that figure is not published — the page routes you to PowerSchool to request a quote.
EduJobs
Card or purchase order. Charters and private schools pay the same. Unlimited runs on a 12-month term, and above 100,000 students we quote.
If you are thinking about switching
There is nothing to migrate. Both are job boards, so using us alongside SchoolSpring costs you nothing but the time to post, and plenty of districts advertise a hard-to-fill role in more than one place on purpose. The question is not which to switch to, it is which is worth paying for on the next vacancy.
If you are on a SchoolSpring Unlimited membership, the timing that matters is your renewal date rather than the school year. Worth knowing before that conversation: their Unlimited is priced on enrollment and quoted rather than published, so the only way to know whether it still compares well is to ask them for the current number and put it beside ours.
Who should choose which
you already run PowerSchool Unified Talent and want postings importing straight from it without re-entry. That connector is the concrete reason to stay, and it only applies if you are on that applicant system.
you are paying per posting and it adds up. One posting is $79 against their $250, and 25 works out at $39.60 each against $216.67 in their three-pack. Both sides publish, so that takes a minute to check rather than a call. Applications can also land here with your screening questions in front of them, which on their side means the Unlimited membership and a quote.
Questions districts actually ask
- How much does SchoolSpring cost?
- SchoolSpring publishes $250 for one 60-day posting and $650 for a three-pack, with credits that never expire. Its Unlimited membership is priced by student enrollment and is not published; you have to request a quote from PowerSchool. Checked 13 September 2026.
- Is SchoolSpring cheaper in some states?
- In one, yes, and we would rather tell you than have you find it. Maine has a long-standing SchoolSpring state network that publishes unlimited postings from $99 to $399 a year by teachers on staff, which is far below anything on the national card. Maryland and Kentucky run branded state sites but sell at the national price, and there is no Texas network at all, so a Texas district buys at $250 a posting. If you are hiring in Maine, look at their state site first.
- Who owns SchoolSpring?
- PowerSchool. Every SchoolSpring page carries a PowerSchool Group LLC copyright, and its Unlimited tier imports jobs from PowerSchool Unified Talent Applicant Tracking, the applicant system formerly sold as TalentEd and PeopleAdmin.
- Does EduJobs charge candidates anything?
- No. Applying is free and always will be, however many roles someone applies to. SchoolSpring also lets candidates apply free, and sells a $40-a-year Plus+ membership for unlimited applications.
- Can we use both?
- Yes, and for a hard-to-fill role that is often the sensible thing to do. Neither board asks for exclusivity, and a posting on one does not affect the other.
