Indeed modified its pricing and billing disclosures on May 16, 2026. The updated terms removed explicit mention of auto-apply activity as a pricing factor, removed 'Auto Applies' from the list of factors affecting price variation, and added new language stating that reducing or canceling sponsored ad budgets results in loss of premium features. The terms also added explicit language requiring users to pay applicable taxes and describing how Indeed calculates and bills taxes based on user location or linked employer location.
Consumers: When you pay for sponsored ads on Indeed, you may owe taxes on top of the listed price, and you are responsible for those taxes.
Consumers: Indeed will determine what taxes you owe based on where you are located or where any employer you connect to your account is located.
Consumers: If you lower or cancel your ad spending, you lose premium features that only higher-paying users can access.
Consumers: The terms no longer list auto-apply as one of the factors that may affect your ad price.
The updated terms establish new explicit tax obligations for users. Indeed now states it will calculate and bill applicable taxes based on user location or linked employer location, and users are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies. Additionally, the terms now state that reducing or canceling sponsored ad budgets will result in loss of access to premium features exclusive to higher budget plans. Previously, the agreement described auto-apply activity as a pricing factor; this reference has been removed from the pricing methodology section.
