Head to head

Carv vs IN2DIALOG

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

Carv

$60/user/mo

AI interview notes, write-ups, and ATS fill for recruiting agencies. Recruitment Pro is commonly quoted at $60/user/mo; the vendor has no published price grid.

Where Carv fits

  • Recruiting agencies that live on intake calls
  • Desks on Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable
  • Recruiters drowning in notes and write-ups
  • Teams that will accept AI in the interview workflow

IN2DIALOG

Sales-quoted Free trial

IN2DIALOG is an EU-hosted AI notetaker for recruiters that fills the ATS during the interview so there is no post-call data entry. Pricing is quote-led. Terms set a 12-month minimum contract. A try-for-free path is on the homepage.

Where IN2DIALOG fits

  • Agency and in-house recruiters who want ATS fields filled while they talk
  • EU desks that need GDPR-aligned, EU-hosted interview capture
  • Teams on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet who hate post-call writeups
  • Bullhorn shops that want conversation notes synced without extra typing

Where they pull apart

Carv

Stands out: Joins the interview, writes the note, and pushes a candidate presentation back to Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable.

Watch out: Packaging is demo-led and the product now leans toward agentic volume hiring, so confirm the seat price on a call rather than budgeting from the $60 figure. The five-meeting free plan is a usage cap, not a timed trial.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need HireVue-style structured video
  • TA teams that will not record interviews
  • Buyers who need a published price grid

IN2DIALOG

Stands out: It claims to process each interview six ways and to capture salary, availability, notice period, and must-haves in real time. Hosting is in the EU. The company is In2Dialog B.V. at Hofplein 20, Rotterdam.

Watch out: There is no public seat price. Terms say a 12-month minimum, 14-day payment terms, and the right to change rates with one month's notice. Do not use third-party euro guesses as the rate.

Not the right fit for

  • US buyers who need a published USD seat they can put on a card
  • Teams that will not sign a 12-month minimum
