Where they pull apart

Candidately

Stands out: Client Portal replaces email threads with branded candidate profiles, magic links, live client chat, and AI recruiter notes. Pricing is not tied to the agency's Bullhorn seat count.

Watch out: All plans are billed annually. Client Portal, Talent Marketplace, Candidate Search AI and Job Board are custom priced. Resume Builder is $1 per exported resume.

Not the right fit for

  • Corporate TA teams not on a staffing ATS
  • Buyers who need month-to-month billing

Greenhouse

Stands out: Structured hiring plus marketplace depth, with a hosted MCP now in open beta.

Watch out: No published price, and the MCP is open beta rather than generally available.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need a staffing CRM
  • Small teams that need a cheap tracker
