Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
Sales-quoted
US staffing ATS, CRM, payroll and compliance in one back-office stack. Quote-based, and built for staffing operations rather than corporate hiring.
Where Avionté fits
$125/mo
Applicant tracking system for staffing firms, RPO providers, PEOs and HR teams that want to pay by usage. The Standard plan starts from $125/mo per recruiter seat, with add-ons such as SMS, AI, back office and Wizdom analytics switched on as needed, and final pricing set by sales. It also ships a public API and a live MCP server.

Avionté
Stands out: Payroll and compliance sit next to the staffing ATS rather than as afterthoughts.
Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for a corporate talent team.
Not the right fit for
BrightMove
Stands out: BrightMove runs a live MCP server at mcp.brightmove.com on the same objects as its public API at docs.brightmove.com. It is also an Indeed Platinum ATS Partner, and in-product AI comes from Robin the Recruiter and Wiz.
Watch out: Standard starts from $125/mo, but Advanced and Enterprise are custom and final pricing is set by sales, with hiring-manager and executive rates labeled as examples. Add-ons are priced separately, and Back Office and Wizdom analytics each start at $499/mo.
