Why it's here: Every plan includes unlimited seats, unlimited positions, unlimited interview responses, and the full feature set. Price only changes with company size.
Best for: SMBs under 50 employees that want unlimited one-way video without per-response overages
Watch out: Small is for companies under 50 employees. Medium is $150/mo billed yearly for 50 to 250. Agencies and high-volume corporates go Custom.
Why it's here: Public $49 Start plan plus a first-party MCP, which most SMB ATS tools still do not ship.
Best for: Small in-house teams that want AI scoring in the ATS
Watch out: Monthly Start is $99. AI credits are tiered (100 on Start). Do not budget the annual $49 as unlimited AI and unlimited jobs.
Why it's here: A hosted MCP at agent.recruitcrm.io plus agency hotlists and GDPR controls.
Best for: Boutique staffing agencies
Watch out: MCP access has to be switched on per role before an assistant can connect.
Why it's here: Runs as its own browser on your machine or a VPS, not as a LinkedIn extension that injects into the site.
Best for: Solo sellers automating invites and follow-ups
Watch out: One license is one LinkedIn account. Cloud storage costs extra. Standard caps many actions at 20 per day.
Why it's here: Clear published pricing aimed at very small teams.
Best for: Very small in-house teams
Watch out: No API and no MCP, so it will not connect to anything else you run.
Why it's here: Captures calls from web meetings, dialers and phones into one deal timeline, with a hosted MCP server for AI assistants.
Best for: Sales teams that want call recording, coaching and deal warnings
Watch out: No public seat price. The platform fee scales with how many users you support. Built for GTM teams, not recruiting ops.
Why it's here: Hosted MCP at mcp.apify.com plus a Store of ready-made Actors, on a prepaid usage meter with overage billed on paid plans.
Best for: Builders running scrapers and agents in the cloud
Watch out: Unused prepaid usage expires each cycle. Usage beyond Starter's $19 is billed on the next invoice, and residential proxy costs extra per GB.
Why it's here: No credit card for the 15-day demo, and Starter already includes AI top matches, parsing, and a careers site.
Best for: Small HR teams hiring a few roles at a time
Watch out: Starter is 5 active jobs and 20 employees. Standard is $149/mo yearly. Premier is a quote. API access lives in-app.
Why it's here: An agency CRM with a published per-user starting price and desk automation.
Best for: UK and EU agency desks
Watch out: Priced in pounds only, with a 12-month minimum term, and there is no MCP.
Why it's here: It is priced and built by care segment rather than as a generic ATS: locations for senior living and skilled nursing, aides for home health and BCBAs for behavioral health. Hiring, onboarding with ongoing license verification and scheduling with cross-location staff sharing sit in one system, and it connects to Workday, Paycom and ADP. Users rate it 4.8 on Capterra across 313 reviews.
Best for: Assisted and senior living operators with many locations
Watch out: Prices are not published. Some Capterra reviewers mention slow page loads and statuses that cannot be customized or reordered. It targets post-acute and community care, so hospitals and physician recruiters are better served elsewhere.
Why it's here: Pricing is by job posts rather than seats, so adding hiring managers costs nothing, and yearly billing cuts every plan by 50% (Solo is $234 a year). It is rated 4.8 on Capterra across 299 reviews, and the entry plan starts at $39/mo with a short free trial.
Best for: Small businesses hiring a few roles at a time
Watch out: The Solo plan caps you at one job and 25 candidates a month, and unlimited candidates only start on Premium at $139/mo. It is a posting and light tracking tool, so structured interview kits, scorecards and deep reporting are outside what the vendor describes.
Why it's here: The multiposting reach of 200+ job boards and 400+ universities and business schools, plus a GDPR module with automatic purges and consent management, goes further than most HR suites. The vendor says more than 6,000 companies use it, including Burger King, Telepizza and Air Europa, and it is rated 4.8 on Capterra across 262 reviews.
Best for: Employers hiring across Spain, Portugal and Latin America
Watch out: There is no public price list: the site advertises plans from US$6 without saying per what, and every plan is quoted. Payroll is pre-payroll plus an integration rather than built in, and the customer base and job board network lean toward Spain, Portugal and Latin America.
Why it's here: Free plan plus first-party MCP and REST on a lightweight finder.
Best for: Desks that need email plus mobile before sequences
Watch out: No sequencer included, and coverage varies by region.
Why it's here: 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.
Best for: New agencies eligible for the startup discount
Watch out: 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.
Why it's here: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.
Best for: Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Hireflix ranks first on this list, based on its Capterra rating weighted for the number of reviews.
Capterra shows both the score and the review count publicly, so we can check them. We leave out any tool with fewer than 10 reviews.
A score from a handful of reviews moves a lot with each new one. We weight each rating by its review count, so a 4.7 from 300 reviews can rank above a 4.9 from 12.
Rankings come from Work Insiders directory data: our editorial picks, Capterra ratings we check ourselves, and vendor pricing pages. Vendors cannot pay for a rank. How we make money.
