Circa vs ComplyRight

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

Starting price

Circa

Sales-quoted

Circa is still sold as Mitratech Circa for OFCCP-style job distribution, ESDS posting, veteran outreach documentation, and diversity recruiting. Pricing is sales-quoted. Mitratech has owned Circa since 2023.

Where Circa fits

  • Federal contractors that still need ESDS posting and outreach files
  • HR compliance teams documenting veteran and disability recruiting efforts
  • Employers that want Circa because it already sits in a Mitratech stack
  • TA ops that need audit-ready job-distribution logs, not a new ATS

ComplyRight

Sales-quoted

Labor-law posters, employment forms, and tax-reporting kits from an in-house legal team. The vendor site does not publish a single software rate card.

Where ComplyRight fits

  • US employers that need laminated federal and state labor-law posters on the wall
  • Multi-location shops that want a one-year replacement service when postings change
  • Small finance teams filing W-2 and 1099 kits rather than an enterprise GRC suite
  • HR coordinators buying applications, I-9 folders, and attendance forms from the same brand

Where they pull apart

Circa

Stands out: It automates state ESDS job-bank postings and documents good-faith outreach across a claimed 15,000-plus community organizations. Dashboards track applicant flow and outreach for audit files.

Watch out: US OFCCP affirmative-action rules were rolled back in 2026, so the compliance pitch has changed even though the product is still on the price list. There is no self-serve rate card. Ignore Capterra's $600/mo starting price.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies that only need a cheap job board with no compliance archive
  • Buyers who need a published monthly price before a sales call

ComplyRight

Stands out: ComplyRight sells federal, state, and local poster services with a year of legal monitoring and automatic replacements when postings change, plus W-2/1099 kits and personnel forms.

Watch out: Prices live on individual SKUs at office suppliers, not as a SaaS per-seat grid. A North Carolina English poster service at Office Depot is not the same quote as a bilingual Illinois kit at Staples.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies that want a cloud policy-acknowledgement platform as the core product
  • Global employers whose posting rules are not US federal, state, and city labor law

Pros and cons

Circa

  • ESDS posting and outreach documentation in one Mitratech product
  • Capterra 4.4 from 29 reviews on Mitratech Circa
  • ATS-adjacent rather than a rip-and-replace ATS
  • The vendor does not publish a price on circaworks.com
  • OFCCP mandate rollback in 2026 weakens the original buying reason for some US employers
  • Diversity job distribution still competes with broader programmatic networks

ComplyRight

  • Attorney-monitored poster service with automatic replacements for a year
  • Broad catalog: posters, personnel forms, HIPAA notices, and tax kits
  • QR codes on some federal posters for compliance verification
  • No single public SaaS rate card on the vendor homepage
  • Retail SKU prices vary by state, language, and reseller
  • Not a policy-acknowledgement or case-management platform
