Where they pull apart

Breezy HR

Stands out: A kanban pipeline plus a sourcing extension, built for small hiring teams.

Watch out: No MCP, and it is not built for enterprise hiring processes.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprise selection processes
  • Teams that need MCP

IdealTraits

Stands out: Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited SMS, one-way video and pre-hire assessments with no per-applicant fees, and job slots can be added or dropped month to month as hiring changes. It also runs employee pulse surveys, and it is rated 4.8 on Capterra across 59 reviews.

Watch out: The entry Grow plan is annual only and covers one active job at one location, and pricing is per location for multi-office businesses until the Scale plan. The personality assessment accuracy figure on the site is the vendor's own claim.

Not the right fit for

  • Staffing agencies with client pipelines
  • Enterprises needing deep ATS configuration
  • Teams that want monthly billing on the entry plan
