Cooper vs Teamtailor

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

Starting price

Cooper

Quote-based Free trial

Cooper is an ATS from Berlin's CooperHire GmbH that bundles three AI agents: Coo for sourcing, Scout for screening and Robin for AI interviews. Platform pricing is quote-based with a free trial, while Coo sourcing can be bought on a 5% to 10% success fee. It fits SMBs and scaleups hiring at volume that want EU data hosting.

Where Cooper fits

  • SMBs and scaleups introducing their first ATS
  • High-volume and frontline hiring teams
  • European employers that need EU data storage

Teamtailor

Quote-based

Career-site-first European ATS with employee advocacy and a CRM. Pricing is quote-based, with unlimited job postings and users.

Where Teamtailor fits

  • European mid-market in-house talent teams
  • Teams whose career site is the product
  • Desks that want employee advocacy on jobs
  • Buyers who want a CRM beside the ATS

Where they pull apart

Cooper

Stands out: Each hiring step has its own named agent, and Scout's Ideal, Good, Needs review and Flagged groups make screening output easy to act on. Coo searches 900M+ profiles and can be used without the Cooper ATS. All data stays on European servers and is not used to train AI models.

Watch out: No platform price is published, so budgeting requires a sales call. Security and compliance messaging is written for European hiring under GDPR, and the customer quotes on the site come from German companies, so US teams should confirm fit. Coo's success fee of 5% to 10% of salary adds up on high-volume hiring.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a published price before a demo
  • Enterprises wanting a large integration marketplace
  • Teams that only need a sourcing database

Teamtailor

Stands out: An employer-brand career site that does not look like a default ATS page.

Watch out: Built for in-house European hiring rather than agency desks, and the MCP server is an add-on rather than part of every plan.

Not the right fit for

  • US staffing agencies
  • Enterprise HCM selections
