Why people look past Blosto

It is a new product with no independent reviews yet, and it publishes no security certifications, so check procurement needs first. There is no ATS or CRM sync on Starter or Team, since ATS integration is a Scale feature, and outreach is LinkedIn only, with no email sequences. The 850 million profile figure is the vendor's own, and the trial needs a card.

What we noted

No ATS integration below the custom Scale plan
LinkedIn is the only outreach channel
New product with no independent reviews or published certifications

Not the right fit for

Teams that need ATS or CRM sync on a standard plan
Buyers who need published security certifications today
Recruiters who run outreach by email rather than LinkedIn

Worth keeping in mind: The reasoning is visible. Every candidate is scored against criteria built from your role, with a Yes, Partial or No per criterion and the evidence, and you can edit the criteria and watch the ranking follow. Search, scoring, LinkedIn sequences and the reply inbox sit in one workflow, and nobody is contacted until you approve them.

What each one does differently

Juicebox

$99/mo Free tier Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: Juicebox is the more established option, with 800M+ profiles, a free plan, a published ATS list and its own MCP server, from $99 per seat a month billed yearly.

Stands out: Natural-language search plus a Chrome extension and 50+ ATS connectors.

Watch out: The Agents add-on costs extra on top of the seat price.

Best for

Sourcers who hate Boolean
Agencies on a few seats
Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby

Mainder

€39/user/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: Mainder searches 1B+ profiles from a plain-language brief and also messages candidates by email and WhatsApp, with an ATS included, from €39 per user a month.

Stands out: The ATS and multiposting to 5,000+ job boards come with every paid plan, so sourcing agents, outreach and the pipeline that holds the results sit in one product. AI Hunt stays attached to a job and keeps adding scored candidates around the clock, searching GitHub, Stack Overflow and Dribbble as well as LinkedIn.

Watch out: Prices are euro only and exclude VAT, and searches, AI Hunts and enrichments are capped per user each month. Paid plans have no trial, AI Hunt and contact enrichment start at Core (€119/user/mo annual), and multichannel outreach is a €20/user add-on on Pro and only included at Enterprise. AI interviews run in English, Spanish and Portuguese only, support works European hours, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Best for

Recruiting and staffing agencies in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
Small teams that want sourcing, outreach and an ATS in one subscription
Roles that reopen often, where a 24/7 AI Hunt keeps the pipeline full

Kalent

$55/500 credits 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Kalent searches 200M+ EU and US profiles, adds mobiles and emails, and has an MCP for Claude and ChatGPT, from $55 for 500 credits.

Stands out: European coverage and WhatsApp outreach are built in, which most US-first sourcing tools treat as an afterthought, and the vendor holds SOC 2 Type 2 with GDPR opt-out handling. It also ships one of the more complete recruiting MCP servers: OAuth sign in, search, enrichment, outreach and ATS push from inside Claude or ChatGPT, on credit packs that never expire.

Watch out: Seat prices are not published, so you need a sales call to cost the full platform; only the MCP credit packs carry public prices. The ATS list leans French and European (Flatchr, Taleez, BoondManager, Beetween), and Greenhouse, Lever and Bullhorn are not among the 20 named integrations on its integrations page. ATS sync is an add-on below the Team plan, and the 70% mobile figure is the vendor's own claim.

Best for

Agencies and in-house teams hiring across France and the rest of Europe
Recruiters who reach candidates on WhatsApp as well as LinkedIn and email
Teams sourcing from inside Claude or ChatGPT through an MCP
