What's the main difference between Edomatch and SmartRecruiters?

The core difference, in one line: SmartRecruiters targets global groups with 1,000+ employees; Edomatch starts at 5 users with no enterprise deployment.

Is Edomatch cheaper than SmartRecruiters?

Does Edomatch work in francophone Africa?

Yes, it's the core target. Edomatch natively supports XOF (BCEAO) and XAF (BEAC) currencies, integrates with local job boards (Senjob, EmploiBenin, Abidjan.net), and offers French-language support on Africa-Europe time zones. SmartRecruiters does not cover this context out of the box.
