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

Starting price

Continuas

$149/mo Free tier

Town

$15/mo Free tier 7 day free trial

Personal AI assistant that learns your clients, deadlines and writing style from your email, then drafts replies, books meetings and runs routines. Free plan; Starter $15/mo, Pro $49/user/mo billed annually.

Where Town fits

  • Ashby users who want an assistant that can read pipeline data

Where they pull apart

Continuas

Stands out: It works on the inbox you already use rather than a separate sequencer: it spots stalled threads you forgot, writes the nudge the way you would, and sends bulk emails as individual messages from your own address. Two recruiting firms, VetTemps and IHC Recruiting, appear among its customers.

Watch out: Only Gmail and Outlook are named; there is no ATS or CRM integration, so follow-ups do not log back to your recruiting system. Autopilot sends on its own once switched on, and the jump from Free to Premium is a flat $149 a month.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need follow-ups logged in Bullhorn or another ATS
  • High-volume cold outreach with domain warmup

Town

Stands out: Town learns from the work you have already done in Gmail, so it drafts in your voice with no prompt writing. Each person gets their own Townie, and assistants can coordinate with each other, for example to reschedule a meeting.

Watch out: Town is a general work assistant, not a recruiting system: Ashby is the only ATS among its listed integrations. Everything runs on credits, the Free plan stops at 30 chats a month, and the vendor offers no refunds.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams looking for an ATS, sourcing database or outreach sequencer
  • Buyers who want flat pricing with no usage credits
