Where they pull apart

Brainner

Stands out: Ranking plus fraud (300-plus signals) with two-way ATS sync, not a generic ChatGPT-on-CVs wrapper.

Watch out: Analyses are metered: the paid tier covers a fixed quota and extra analyses are charged per analysis, with unlimited sold as an add-on. A busy month is the thing to model, not the headline.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that will not use AI on applications
  • Companies that need a flat, unmetered price
  • Agencies that need a full ATS

TalentGraph

Stands out: Instead of matching keywords, it reads public evidence of what a candidate has actually built or done and shows the quote and source behind every judgment, so a non technical recruiter can see why someone fits. The CV check against the public record is a useful guard as AI written CVs become harder to tell apart.

Watch out: Accounts are opened by hand and need a company email, and prices are in euros only. It finds and assesses people but does not contact them or track them like an ATS, and results depend on how much public evidence a candidate has, so people with little online footprint may be missed.

Not the right fit for

  • Non technical or high volume hourly hiring
  • Teams that want outreach sequences built in
  • Recruiters using a personal email address, as company emails are required
