Clockwork vs Marovi

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

Clockwork

$149/user/mo

Executive search CRM for retained desks, at $149 per user/month.

Where Clockwork fits

  • Retained executive search firms
  • Desks that run on relationships rather than requisition volume
  • Teams that want a search CRM with a published seat price
  • Firms working in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

Marovi

Quote-based

Executive hiring platform that maps the market for a role and scores every candidate against a weighted scorecard your hiring team defines, with the evidence behind each score and executive ready reports. Pricing is quote based: annual fixed fees for the platform, or one time fixed fees if Marovi's own recruiters do the research or the whole search.

Where Marovi fits

  • Corporate talent teams running executive and senior manager searches in house
  • Companies that want to cut retained search firm spend on leadership roles
  • CHROs who need documented, comparable candidate evidence to show a CEO or board
  • Teams that want to mix self serve searching with a full search for critical roles

Where they pull apart

Clockwork

Stands out: A relationship CRM built for search firms rather than a high-volume tracker.

Watch out: Wrong shape for volume hiring, and it is not an ATS.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house high-volume talent teams
  • Agencies running hourly hiring

Marovi

Stands out: Marovi sells the same evaluation method as software, as research help, or as a full retained style search run by its own recruiters, so a team can do the search in house and still hand off a critical role. Scores are weighted per role (a CFO scorecard differs from a CRO scorecard) and each one links back to its source, which suits searches a board will question.

Watch out: No public prices and no self serve sign up; every plan starts with a sales conversation. It is built for manager level and above, so it is a poor fit for volume or hourly hiring. Merging internal ATS candidates with external ones in one view, and two way ATS sync, come only with the Custom Build plan.

Not the right fit for

  • High volume or hourly hiring
  • Buyers who need a published price before a demo
  • Recruiting agencies looking for an ATS or CRM to run their desk

Pros and cons

Clockwork

  • Published per-user price
  • Built for retained search specifically
  • Connects to the executive-search toolchain
  • Wrong tool for high-volume hiring
  • Not an ATS

Marovi

  • Every candidate score is weighted per role and traceable to its source
  • Can run as software, research help or a full executive search
  • Fixed fees with no per search charges or token limits, per the vendor
  • No published pricing or self serve trial
  • Combined internal and external view only on Custom Build
  • Narrow focus on manager level and executive roles
