Arbi vs hireEZ

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

Starting price

Arbi

$79/mo

Arbi, from Neuroscale AI, puts plain-English sourcing, criteria-based screening, email sequences and spoken AI interviews in one platform. Per-seat plans run $79, $179 and $279/mo billed annually, each with a monthly credit allowance for contact unlocks. It fits small in-house teams and agencies that want one tool in place of separate sourcing and interview products.

Where Arbi fits

  • Small in-house teams that want sourcing, screening and first-round interviews in one tool
  • Agencies screening large applicant stages against written criteria
  • Federal, defense and regulated employers that need SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reports

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial

Where hireEZ fits

  • Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
  • Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
  • Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial
  • Teams with budget around $494/mo

Where they pull apart

Arbi

Stands out: The Arbitrator screener shows the profile evidence behind every good, partial or poor verdict and can re-score an entire stage when criteria change. The AI interviewer runs spoken rounds with a whiteboard for system design questions and a candidate practice round. Neuroscale also lists federal and defense teams as a target, backed by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.

Watch out: Contact details cost credits (2 per unlock), and Solo includes only 500 credits a month, which Neuroscale says covers about one requisition worked end to end. ATS integration is not listed on Solo or Growth and costs $100/mo extra on Business. Sourcing agents and usage analytics on Business are still marked as coming soon.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo recruiters who unlock hundreds of contacts a month on the Solo credit allowance
  • Teams on Solo or Growth that need two-way ATS sync
  • Buyers who only want a contact-data lookup tool

hireEZ

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Not the right fit for

  • Small desks that need a $50 finder
  • Buyers who need MCP
