Where they pull apart

Datapeople

Stands out: JD analytics, templates, and bias/outcome scoring as a governance layer (Workday named), not a grammar plugin.

Watch out: Quote-only, and the product now sits with Payscale. Confirm you are buying JD governance, not a compensation suite by accident.

Not the right fit for

A recruiter who just needs a template
SMBs that will not pay a quote for JD software
Teams that already live in Textio and are happy

Greenhouse

Stands out: Structured hiring plus marketplace depth, with a hosted MCP now in open beta.

Watch out: No published price, and the MCP is open beta rather than generally available.

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need a staffing CRM
Small teams that need a cheap tracker

Pros and cons

Datapeople

JD governance rather than a spellcheck
Workday named
Bias and outcome scoring on the requisition text

Quote-only
Now a Payscale SKU, which will confuse procurement
Not a writing assistant like a cheap Grammarly stand-in

Greenhouse

Structured hiring and shared scorecards
Large integration marketplace
Hosted MCP in open beta

No public price
Heavier than small-business trackers
MCP still labelled open beta
