Blosto vs Mainder

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

Starting price

Blosto

$74.50/mo 7 day free trial

Blosto is a self-serve AI sourcing tool that turns a plain-language brief into a ranked shortlist, shows why each person fits, and runs LinkedIn outreach from your own account. Starter is $74.50 a month billed yearly ($149 monthly) and Team is $109.50 per seat, each with a 7-day free trial that needs a card. It has no ATS integration below the custom Scale plan.

Where Blosto fits

  • In-house recruiters sourcing technical or senior roles
  • Small agencies that want search and LinkedIn outreach in one tool
  • Hiring teams who want to read why each candidate was ranked
  • Founders who want to try it on a real role without a demo call

Mainder

€39/user/mo Free tier

AI recruiting agents with an ATS and talent CRM built in: describe a role in plain language and Mainder searches more than a billion profiles, writes to candidates on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, and scores each one with a written reason. Built in Spain for agencies and in-house teams in Europe and Latin America. The free plan never expires; paid plans run €39 to €169/user/mo billed annually, with prices in euros only.

Where Mainder fits

  • Recruiting and staffing agencies in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
  • Small teams that want sourcing, outreach and an ATS in one subscription

Where they pull apart

Blosto

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

Mainder

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.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams that need USD billing and US support hours
  • Teams that want to keep their current ATS and only add a sourcing layer
