Ashby
Stands out: Scheduling, CRM, reporting and analytics in one ATS, with a hosted MCP.
Watch out: The $400/month floor is real, and the higher tiers go back to a sales conversation.
Not the right fit for
candidate.fyi
Stands out: Unlimited users and jobs in one SKU, with AI agents that book, reschedule, and remind without a coordinator in the loop.
Watch out: Quote is based on company size, open reqs, and ATS type. There is no public dollar grid and no per-interview fee either.
