Recruitly
Agency recruiting CRM and ATS with a free plan and paid seats from $25/user/mo billed annually.
From $25/user/mo Free tier 14-day free trial MCP server API
Bottom line
Recruitly suits recruitment agencies that want an ATS, CRM, outreach and WhatsApp in one system, with every feature on every plan including Free. Paid seats run $25 per user per month on Solo, $80 on Professional and $120 on Enterprise, all billed annually, and young agencies can get 75 percent off for three years.
Stands out for: Every plan, including Free, gets the full feature set, and plans differ only by record limits and seats. API keys come on every plan too, with a REST API, Zapier and an MCP server for Claude, and the Simi AI Copilot works on the same candidate record.
Watch out for: The $25, $80 and $120 prices assume annual billing, and Solo allows just one user. SMS, e-signatures, sourcing and AI agent actions are metered on top, with AI agents charged at $0.50 to $3.00 per action.
