Where they pull apart

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

Agencies that need a staffing CRM
Buyers who cannot start at $400/month

Screenloop

Stands out: Interview intelligence, structured references, and ATS analytics ship as one platform, not a BrightHire recorder bolted onto Greenhouse.

Watch out: screenloop.com does not list a public per-user rate. Mid-market TA rollouts go through sales. This is a system-of-record conversation, not a $15 ATS.

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need Bullhorn-class client and placement CRM
Startups that want a $49 self-serve ATS today

Analytics on the hiring funnel, not only a recorder
Aimed at in-house TA rather than a staffing desk CRM
