1Recruit.ai vs CVFAST

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

1Recruit.ai

$30/mo Free tier

1Recruit.ai is a low cost AI workspace for solo recruiters, small agencies and in-house teams that covers CV matching, branded CV formatting, job specs and job ads. It suits people who want these four jobs done in one place rather than a full ATS. There is a free plan, and paid seats run from $30/mo billed annually ($36 monthly) to $45/mo billed annually ($54 monthly).

Where 1Recruit.ai fits

  • Solo recruiters and small agencies that format a lot of client CVs
  • In-house recruiters who want quick job specs and ads from a few inputs
  • Teams that want CV matching without buying a full ATS
  • Budget buyers who want a free plan to test on real roles

CVFAST

€29/mo Free tier

Low cost resume formatter for agency recruiters that turns any candidate resume into a branded, optionally anonymized PDF, with a free plan and a first party MCP server. Paid plans are €29 or €59 a month, but no ATS integrations are named.

Where CVFAST fits

  • Agency recruiters sending resumes to clients
  • Solo recruiters wanting a free formatter
  • Teams automating resume prep with AI agents

Where they pull apart

1Recruit.ai

Stands out: Each role gets its own application link, so CVs from your job ads land straight in the tool where they are matched and can be reformatted. Recruiter Pro gives unlimited matching, CV formatting and job specs for $45/mo billed annually.

Watch out: Every plan is for one user, and the CRM that would track pipelines and clients is still listed as coming soon. The job boards it names, PNet and CareerJunction, are South African, and there is no published integration with any ATS or a public API.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need ATS or CRM integration today
  • Large teams that need multi-user plans and pipeline tracking

CVFAST

Stands out: A built in MCP server on every plan, the free one included, lets Claude, Cursor or your own automation create, anonymize and export candidate resumes straight from a chat.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only, the free plan stamps a watermark on every resume, and paid plans cap uploads at 50 or 200 a month. No ATS or CRM integration is named; the Chrome extension and MCP server are the routes in.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a Bullhorn or Vincere integration
  • Formatting more than 200 resumes a month
  • Buyers who want US dollar billing
