Bullhorn vs TempWorks

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

Starting price

Bullhorn

$99/user/mo

The default agency ATS conversation: staffing CRM, automations and a large marketplace. Starter is published at $99/user/month, with everything above it quoted.

Where Bullhorn fits

  • Staffing agencies
  • Desks that need client management next to jobs
  • Firms that live on the Bullhorn marketplace
  • Buyers comparing Bullhorn against Loxo or Vincere

TempWorks

Sales-quoted

US staffing software that runs the ATS, CRM, payroll, billing and tax filing in one system, with a mobile app for temps. Quote-based, and built for temporary staffing agencies rather than corporate hiring.

Where TempWorks fits

  • US temporary staffing agencies
  • Agencies that want payroll and billing in house
  • High volume temp placement desks
  • Agencies that want a branded job board on their own site

Where they pull apart

Bullhorn

Stands out: Staffing CRM plus a marketplace of more than 300 partners on Core.

Watch out: Only the two small-agency tiers are published. AI, automation and analytics all sit behind a quote.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house tech talent teams that want structured hiring
  • Teams that need MCP today

TempWorks

Stands out: The back office goes further than most staffing ATSs: payroll processing, W-2 and ACA forms, tax services and payroll funding through Lone Oak Payroll can all come from TempWorks itself.

Watch out: No published price, and the product is shaped around US temp payroll, so it is the wrong fit for corporate talent teams or search firms with no payroll to run.

Not the right fit for

  • Corporate in-house talent teams
  • Search firms with no payroll to run
  • Teams that want self-serve pricing
