changemaker vs. DevelopmentAid — which should you post on?
DevelopmentAid is a broader information-services platform for the international-development sector — organisation and donor databases, funding/grants intelligence, webinars and a dedicated recruitment arm (DRS), with job postings as one part of a larger paid membership product.
| changemaker | DevelopmentAid | |
|---|---|---|
| Employer pricing | Flat $99 one-time, no account needed to see the price, listing live in minutes | Not publicly listed. Organisation membership (developmentaid.org/organizations/membership) is sold by contacting DevelopmentAid directly rather than through a self-serve checkout — there is no published dollar figure for posting a single job, unlike changemaker's flat, visible $99. |
| Job seeker access | Free, always — no account required to search or apply | Mixed: some listings are openly browsable, but DevelopmentAid also runs a paid individual-membership tier and reportedly gates full details and the ability to apply to some "member-only" jobs behind that membership — worth confirming current terms directly on their site before relying on it, since we could not verify every seeker-side detail against a server-rendered page (their site is a JavaScript app that doesn't expose all content to a plain fetch). |
| Scope | Every UN agency, development bank, NGO and INGO we track, in one place | Broader than changemaker: covers the full international-development sector plus adjacent services (funding/grants data, consultant marketplace, training) rather than focusing on job listings alone. |
| Signup required to post? | No — see the price and pay directly from /post-a-job | Yes, and beyond an account, employers appear to need an organisation membership (sold by quote) before posting — a heavier commitment than changemaker's pay-once, no-account-required-for-the-payment-step flow. |
What makes DevelopmentAid different
- Job posting is bundled into a much larger paid data/intelligence platform, not sold on its own
- No transparent employer price anywhere on the public site — every path leads to a contact form
- Runs a separate recruitment-solutions arm (DRS) for organisations that want a managed hiring service, a heavier product than a self-serve listing
Sources: developmentaid.org/organizations/membership and developmentaid.org, fetched 2026-08-27. Their job-search and membership pages render mostly client-side, so pricing and seeker-access details above are stated conservatively — flagged as best-verified-effort, not a confirmed price. We link to DevelopmentAid directly so you can verify current terms yourself: developmentaid.org.
