Avery vs SeekOut

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

Starting price

Avery

€299/mo Free tier

European AI sourcing tool that searches 125M+ profiles for free and explains every match. Solo at €299/mo adds contacts, inbox outreach and a talent pool that stays warm, but ATS sync is Team and Max only, so in house teams will be on a quoted plan.

Where Avery fits

  • Freelance and fractional recruiters hiring in Europe on a fixed monthly budget
  • European in house TA teams that want sourcing with GDPR answers ready
  • Agencies that want an AI sourcing rollout with hands on implementation (Max)

SeekOut

$149/mo 14 day free trial

AI recruiting platform on a 1B+ profile talent graph: intelligent search, AI scorecards, AI screening and drafted outreach, with diversity and internal-mobility filters. Recruit Core starts at $149/mo with a 14-day trial, no card.

Where SeekOut fits

  • Corporate talent teams on hard-to-find roles
  • Diversity-focused search teams
  • Organisations that want internal mobility next to external search
  • Buyers who will start on a 14-day trial

Where they pull apart

Avery

Stands out: The free plan is genuinely usable: full search of the European network with ranked, explained matches and a market view, no card and no time limit. Its data and compliance story is built for European buyers, which most US sourcing tools treat as an afterthought.

Watch out: Solo has no ATS import, export or integration, so anything beyond a single freelance recruiter means a quoted Team or Max plan. Coverage is European profiles, not a global database, and prices are in euros only. It is a young studio built company, so ask for references.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams hiring mainly in the US or Asia
  • Solo users who need ATS sync
  • Buyers who need a published USD price

SeekOut

Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.

Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.

Not the right fit for

  • Small desks that need a $50 Chrome finder
  • Agencies that want a cheap ATS

What each one costs

Avery

Solo is €299/mo, cancel anytime, and adds verified contacts, enrichment, inbox outreach and the Talent Hub, with an extra discount offered to freelance and fractional recruiters. Team (two or more users, with ATS sync) and Max (the platform plus hands on implementation for agencies) are quoted on a call. Avery publishes no USD price. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
