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. Talent Marketplace and Candidate Search AI are talk-to-sales. Resume Builder is usage-priced (vendor pages also cite $1 per exported resume).

Not the right fit for

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

Loxo

Stands out: An ATS plus a sourcing database and MCP, built for agency desks.

Watch out: The published Core price is annual billing, and the MCP URL is issued in-product.

Not the right fit for

In-house talent teams that need structured hiring kits
Buyers working to a sub-$100 per-seat budget
