JobsPipe is a live search API billed per job returned. Choose Techmap for a warehouse and JobsPipe for a product that queries postings on demand. > Techmap sells job postings as a RapidAPI search API, per-country files and historical datasets. JobsPipe sells a live, filterable API with webhooks. The choice is a warehouse or a product. **Canonical URL:** https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/techmap **Competitor domain:** https://jobdatafeeds.com ## What Techmap is Techmap is a German job posting data provider that sells through jobdatafeeds.com. It states 185 source portals across 250 countries and territories, and 451M+ jobs since 2020. The same data is sold three ways. The first is an API: a search API sold through RapidAPI and billed per request, where each request returns 10 job postings. The second is a feed: data feeds are per-country subscriptions on AWS Data Exchange, delivered as daily JSON Lines files on AWS S3 and refreshed hourly. The third is a historical dataset per country. On freshness, techmap says new postings are typically searchable within minutes of being found, and bulk files are re-exported hourly. On use, the pricing page says showing the postings on a job board and storing them is allowed, and reselling the raw postings to third parties is not. ## A feed of files or a live API The two products answer different questions. A feed puts every posting for a country into your own storage, and you decide afterwards what to do with it. A live API answers one question at a time: these titles, in this city, above this salary, posted this week. If you would load the rows into a warehouse and query them there anyway, the feed is the shorter path. If your product asks a different question on every request, the live API is. The second difference is what happens after the rows arrive. With files you own the merge: matching the same job seen on several portals, noticing that a posting has gone, and comparing today's file with yesterday's. JobsPipe does that before the response: one record per job, an open or closed status with a closed date, and webhooks for new and closed postings. ## Running Techmap and JobsPipe together Some teams use both, and the split is clean. Techmap supplies the archive: a country's history since 2020 in files, bought once or as a monthly feed. JobsPipe supplies the live layer: the searches a product runs while a user waits, and the alerts that fire when a matching job appears. Nothing about one contract prevents the other. ## Techmap pricing The jobs API costs $1 per 1,000 job postings, with 1,000 jobs free. A free Basic plan of 100 requests, or 1,000 job postings, a month. The API is billed through RapidAPI: a free Basic plan of 1,000 job postings a month, then Pro at $29/month for 3,000 requests, or 30,000 job postings. Daily data feeds at $400 per country a month. Historical datasets with every daily file since January 2020 cost $2,400 to $4,800 per country as a one-time purchase. Pricing checked 2026-09-30: https://jobdatafeeds.com/pricing ## Techmap target buyer Data teams filling a warehouse, labour-market researchers, teams building a training corpus, and job boards that backfill listings country by country. ## Where Techmap wins - Price per posting. $1 per 1,000 job postings is a published rate, and it is lower than JobsPipe's. - History. Historical datasets with every daily file since January 2020 cost $2,400 to $4,800 per country as a one-time purchase. - Bulk delivery. Data feeds are per-country subscriptions on AWS Data Exchange, delivered as daily JSON Lines files on AWS S3 and refreshed hourly. - Country breadth. Techmap states 185 source portals across 250 countries and territories. - Clear display terms. Showing the postings on a job board and storing them is allowed, and reselling the raw postings to third parties is not. ## Where JobsPipe wins - One record per job. A job that appears on several sources comes back as one record per job with every origin listed under sources, and it costs one credit. - Filters at request time: title, skills, seniority, salary, country, city, remote and company, with cursor pagination, so you pay for the rows you asked for. - Webhooks for new and closed postings, so you do not compare one day's export with the next. - Empty searches cost nothing. One credit is one job returned; to size a query first, send include_total_results with limit 1 and read the count from a single row. - An MCP server, so an agent in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can run the same searches. ## Side-by-side comparison | | Techmap | JobsPipe | |---|---|---| | Pricing entry | $1 per 1,000 job postings | $49/month for 25,000 jobs | | Free tier or trial | Free Basic plan, 1,000 jobs a month | 1,000 jobs to start | | What the data is | Job postings as a search API, country feeds and historical datasets | Job postings from 30+ sources, deduplicated across sources | | Coverage claim | 451M+ jobs since 2020 | 30+ sources, each named on the sources page | | Freshness claim | New postings searchable within minutes | First seen, last seen and open or closed status on every job | | API shape | Search API on RapidAPI, 10 jobs per request | REST: POST /v1/jobs/search, webhooks and an MCP server | | Bulk and datasets | Daily JSON Lines files on AWS S3, per country | No dataset files; pull the jobs you need through the API | | Checked | September 2026 | September 2026 | Pricing page as captured on September 30, 2026.

Historical datasets with every daily file since January 2020 cost $2,400 to $4,800 per country as a one-time purchase. That reaches further back than JobsPipe keeps postings, and a country's whole history arrives as files you can load once. It is also the better choice when price per posting decides the purchase and you have the engineering time to work with raw files. A flat monthly price per country is easier to budget than metered usage if you want everything a country publishes. And it is the better choice for a job board that needs to fill listings in many small countries at once, where breadth of countries matters more than filters. ## When to pick which **Pick Techmap:** You are filling a warehouse, training a model or studying trends across several years, you want whole countries as files, and price per posting matters more than query-time filters. **Pick JobsPipe:** You are building a product, an alert or an agent that asks a different question on every request and needs current postings, closed status and webhooks without a merge step. Roundup: [Compare the jobs APIs side by side](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/best-jobs-api-2026) ## FAQ ### Is Techmap cheaper than JobsPipe? Per posting, yes. Techmap publishes $1 per 1,000 job postings, and JobsPipe's per-1,000 rates are $1.16 on Scale and $1.05 on Business. Two things change the sum. Techmap's API is a search API sold through RapidAPI and billed per request, where each request returns 10 job postings, so a narrow search uses a whole request however few postings match, while JobsPipe charges one credit per job returned and nothing for a search that matches nothing. And JobsPipe returns one record per job across sources, so compare the price per distinct job you would keep. ### When is Techmap the right choice? When the deliverable is a warehouse rather than a product: labour-market research, a training corpus, or trend analysis that needs history back to January 2020 and files delivered to cloud storage. JobsPipe is built for query-time access, webhooks and agents, not for multi-year bulk history. ### Does Techmap have a free plan? Yes. A free Basic plan of 100 requests, or 1,000 job postings, a month. JobsPipe's free tier is 1,000 free credits, one time. ### What is the difference between Techmap and JobDataFeeds? They are the same company. Techmap is the provider and jobdatafeeds.com is the site where it sells its job posting API, data feeds and historical datasets. ### How fresh is Techmap's data compared with JobsPipe's? Techmap says new postings are typically searchable within minutes of being found, and bulk files are re-exported hourly. JobsPipe puts first-seen and last-seen dates and an open or closed status on every record, so you can measure freshness on the rows you receive instead of taking either vendor's word for it. ### Can I show Techmap or JobsPipe postings on my own job board? Techmap's pricing page says yes: showing the postings on a job board and storing them is allowed, and reselling the raw postings to third parties is not. For JobsPipe, the acceptable use policy at /acceptable-use sets out what you may build; read both before you publish listings. ## Related - **Product:** https://jobspipe.dev/jobs-api - **All alternatives:** https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives - **Intent data providers (comparison hub):** https://jobspipe.dev/intent-data-providers - **Sign up (free tier):** https://jobspipe.dev/signup --- Generated from structured data.
