Head to head

Carv vs Screenloop

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

Screenloop

Sales-quoted

Screenloop is an AI ATS with interview intelligence, references, and analytics. Packaging is quoted.

Where Screenloop fits

  • Growing TA teams that want ATS plus interview intelligence in one vendor
  • Companies replacing Greenhouse-plus-BrightHire with a single platform
  • Teams that care about structured references next to scorecards
  • EU and UK buyers already in Screenloop's geographic mix

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

Screenloop

Stands out: Interview intelligence, structured references, and ATS analytics ship as one platform, not a BrightHire recorder bolted onto Greenhouse.

Watch out: screenloop.com does not list a public per-user rate. Mid-market TA rollouts go through sales. This is a system-of-record conversation, not a $15 ATS.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need Bullhorn-class client and placement CRM
  • Startups that want a $49 self-serve ATS today

Pros and cons

Carv

  • Notes and write-ups that actually land in the ATS
  • Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, and Teams named
  • Built for agency intakes, not enterprise video exams
  • No published pricing grid
  • Product marketing has shifted toward agentic volume hiring
  • Five-meeting free plan is not a timed trial

Screenloop

  • ATS, interview intelligence, and references in one platform
  • Analytics on the hiring funnel, not only a recorder
  • Aimed at in-house TA rather than a staffing desk CRM
  • Quoted, no public per-user grid
  • Wrong shape for agency BD and placements
  • Implementation is an ATS project, not a Chrome plugin
