Where they pull apart

Atlas

Stands out: Public per-user price plus AI sourcing and a 14-day trial on an agency CRM.

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

Not the right fit for

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

PCRecruiter

Stands out: Vendor-documented MCP server on an agency ATS, plus an open API.

Watch out: The posted $115 is a starting figure. The final price comes by quote, and a one-time setup and training fee applies.

Not the right fit for

Startups that want a public self-serve price
In-house TA looking for Greenhouse-style structured hiring

Agency ATS and CRM with search and pipeline
MCP documented for 2026
Open API

Not built from the ground up in the AI era
Email outreach sequencing is clunky
