Databox
Analytics platform with KPI dashboards, an AI analyst called Genie and an MCP server, free forever plan, paid from $71/month.
From $71/mo Free tier 14-day free trial MCP server API
Bottom line
Databox fits a TA or agency leadership team that wants KPI dashboards and AI analysis across CRM, marketing and finance data, starting free. Paid plans start at $71 per month billed annually for one user.
Stands out for: Databox runs its own MCP server at mcp.databox.com, so AI assistants can query your metrics and their calculation logic directly. Its Genie AI analyst and anomaly detection are included even on the free forever plan.
Watch out for: Every plan is capped by users and data sources, so the bill climbs as more recruiters and systems join. None of the common recruiting ATS platforms appear on the integrations list, so ATS data needs the REST builder, the API or a spreadsheet.
