Vikkla vs Huntr
Huntr pioneered kanban for job search back in 2017. Solid product — but built for the US market. Vikkla is the same core idea with Swedish/EU localization, EU data residency, and roughly one-third the monthly price.
When Vikkla is a better fit
- →You're job hunting in Sweden or the EU
- →You prefer EU data residency (Supabase Frankfurt)
- →You'd rather pay €6/mo than $20+/mo
- →You want CV conventions that include a photo or DoB when expected (European norms)
When Huntr is a better fit
- →You're job hunting primarily in the US or UK
- →You want Huntr's deep Chrome extension integration with 50+ job boards
- →You already have years of data in Huntr and migration is friction

- Is Huntr still relevant in 2026?
- Yes — Huntr is a solid product with a large US user base. But they build for US conventions and their AI features are optimized for English-language CVs and US ATS. If you're applying in Europe, you'll get better support from Vikkla.
- Can I move my cards from Huntr to Vikkla?
- Huntr has a CSV export. Send it to support@vikkla.com and we'll import it manually for you during the trial — free of charge.
- Why is Vikkla cheaper?
- We don't benchmark against US SaaS pricing. We benchmark against what a European job seeker reasonably wants to pay for a tool used during a 3–6 month period. €6/month is half of a Spotify subscription, which feels right for a time-bounded productivity tool.
