Boomband vs Juicebox

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

Starting price

Boomband

$199/mo

Direct sourcing platform from Monster founder Jeff Taylor that matches roles to verified profiles in New England only, then runs email and LinkedIn sequences you write yourself. Starter is $199/mo for one seat and 500 credits; Pro / Growth is $249 per seat per month for 1 to 5 seats, month to month.

Where Boomband fits

  • Boston and New England employers hiring locally
  • Agency recruiters filling New England roles who want email and LinkedIn in one sequence
  • Teams of up to five that want month to month terms with no annual contract
  • Recruiters who want to write and send every outreach message themselves

Juicebox

$99/mo Free tier Free trial

Fits sourcers who want PeopleGPT over a large index instead of Boolean. Free plan exists; paid Starter is $99/seat/mo annual. Agents are a $199 add-on.

Where Juicebox fits

  • Sourcers who hate Boolean
  • Agencies on a few seats
  • Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby
  • Desks that want MCP on paid plans

Where they pull apart

Boomband

Stands out: Searching the Arena costs nothing; credits are spent only when you reach someone, so you can keep refining a shortlist for free. Matching runs on meaning from a full role intake rather than keyword overlap, and every discovery profile belongs to the person it describes, who can see it, claim it and turn it into a full Dossier.

Watch out: Coverage is deliberately limited to New England, so it will not help with roles elsewhere. Unused credits reset every month. Only Direct Sourcing can be bought online; Opportunity Amplification, Company Dossier and Spectrum go through a sales call, and the Coach assistant is still marked beta.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams hiring nationally or outside New England
  • Buyers who want an AI agent to run outreach on autopilot
  • Teams over five seats that want to buy online

Juicebox

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need Juicebox to be the ATS
  • Buyers who only want a cheap email finder
