CareerArc vs Radancy

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

Starting price

CareerArc

$167/mo 30 day free trial

CareerArc HireSocial turns jobs into branded social posts. Starter is $167/mo billed annually ($196/mo month to month) for 10 jobs and one user. A 30-day trial needs no credit card.

Where CareerArc fits

  • TA teams that want jobs auto-posted to company and recruiter social profiles
  • Retail, healthcare, and hospitality brands hiring where candidates already scroll
  • Recruiters who will approve AI-generated captions instead of writing every post
  • Teams that can live on Starter's 10-job cap or will jump to Growth for unlimited jobs

Where they pull apart

CareerArc

Stands out: Unlimited publishing to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram from ATS or career-site sync. AI generates the posts. Growth at $834/mo annual adds unlimited jobs, unlimited profiles, and ATS/XML autosync.

Watch out: Starter is one user, one profile, and 10 jobs. This is organic social recruiting, not programmatic media buying. Enterprise campaigns and a dedicated CSM are custom and annual-commit.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need a full career-site CMS, CRM, and programmatic stack (see Radancy)
  • Buyers who want pay-per-applicant job-board media rather than organic social

Radancy

Stands out: A CMS-driven career site with agentic AI assistants, job search, and apply, plus optional programmatic, CRM, and referral modules rather than a single-point job-ad buyer.

Watch out: Implementation is enterprise-scale. Programmatic, CRM, and referrals are additional module fees on top of the career-site base. Poor fit for a 10-person TA team.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published social-posting SKU like HireSocial Starter
  • Teams that only want programmatic job ads without a career-site rebuild

  • Quoted only. Modules stack on the career-site base
  • Enterprise implementation, not a plug-in job-ad tool
  • Overkill if you only need social posts or a PPA media buyer
