Head to head

Appcast vs Recruitics

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

Appcast

Sales-quoted

Programmatic job-ad buying on a pay-per-applicant model. Pricing is sales-quoted; media spend sits on top of the platform.

Where Appcast fits

High-volume TA teams spending serious job-ad budget
Companies already in Greenhouse or iCIMS that want programmatic inside the ATS
Recruitment-marketing leads who want PPA instead of CPC
Employers that need coverage across many job boards from one buyer

Recruitics is programmatic job advertising plus hiring analytics for enterprise TA. Pricing is quoted. The pitch is verified, interviewed, and screened finalists, not just clicks, across 400-plus enterprise customers.

Where Recruitics fits

Enterprise TA teams that want programmatic ads and hiring analytics in one vendor
Recruiters who care about qualified applicants by channel, not click reports
Orgs that will let AI verify and screen before the req owner touches the queue
Brands already spending enough media to justify a quoted managed program

Where they pull apart

Appcast

Stands out: It buys sponsored jobs across a large publisher network and bills against delivered applicants, then feeds those applicants back into the ATS, which is why high-volume desks use it instead of clicking Boost on each board.

Watch out: You are buying media plus software. Campaign budgets are the real cost; a Greenhouse in-ATS campaign has been documented with a $200 minimum. The platform fee is sales-quoted. If the career site convert rate is weak, you will still pay for applicants who bounce.

Not the right fit for

Desks posting a handful of professional-hire jobs a month
Buyers who need a public self-serve rate card

Recruitics

Stands out: Live visibility by channel, market, and role, with a Predict feature for labor intelligence and a Convert path that verifies and screens applicants before a recruiter opens the file.

Watch out: This is a sales-quoted media-and-analytics suite. Teams that only need a self-serve job-board blender will overbuy. There is no public CPM or per-applicant table.

Not the right fit for

SMBs that need a published monthly job-ad SKU
Teams that only want organic social posts (see CareerArc HireSocial)

Recruitics

Programmatic ads plus channel-level hiring analytics in one suite
Convert path aimed at verified and screened finalists, not clicks
Cited 400-plus enterprise customers

Quoted only. No public media or per-applicant rates
Enterprise motion. Weak fit for a single-recruiter job-board budget
Named ATS list is thin on the public homepage
