Why people look past Atlas

Every plan runs on a 12-month commitment, and pricing is in pounds.

What we noted

12-month commitment on every plan
Priced in pounds, so US budgets move with the rate

Not the right fit for

Corporate TA that needs Greenhouse-style structured hiring
Buyers who will not sign a 12-month seat

Worth keeping in mind: Public per-user price plus AI sourcing and a 14-day trial on an agency CRM.

What each one does differently

Loxo

$149/user/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Agency ATS plus sourcing database with a public $149/user/mo start and MCP.

Stands out: An ATS plus a sourcing database and MCP, built for agency desks.

Watch out: The published Core price is annual billing, and the MCP URL is issued in-product.

Best for

Agencies that outgrew a spreadsheet and a job board
Desks that want sourcing next to the ATS
Teams that want MCP on the ATS of record

Spott

$139/user/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: AI-native agency ATS/CRM with $139/user/mo annual and hosted MCP.

Stands out: Public per-user price plus first-party MCP on an agency ATS.

Watch out: Enrichment credits are charged on top of the seat price.

Best for

Staffing firms replacing Bullhorn or Loxo
Perm, temp, contract, and exec desks
Teams that want MCP on the ATS

PCRecruiter

$125/user/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Long-running agency ATS and CRM if the desk already lives there, with a documented MCP server.

Stands out: A live MCP server that lets Claude or ChatGPT search, summarize and update your own PCRecruiter records, now included in the standard price, plus an open REST API.

Watch out: The $125 is a starting rate per user: a one-time setup fee applies, migration from another ATS is quoted separately, and there is no free trial. The per-user rate drops with volume, so teams of more than about ten seats should ask.

Best for

Staffing agencies on a recruiting CRM
Desks that want MCP on the ATS of record
Teams that need search plus pipeline in one system

Yena

€55/seat/mo Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: AI sourcing plus ATS/CRM with a public €55/seat start and MCP.

Stands out: Plain-language search that writes back to the ATS, plus MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Copilot.

Watch out: Contact reveal is credit-metered on top of the seat, and this is an ATS rather than a Chrome finder.

Best for

Executive search and staffing teams
Desks that want sourcing inside the ATS
EU-hosted, GDPR-oriented buyers
