Daxtra vs HireLayer

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

Starting price

Daxtra

Sales-quoted

Daxtra is multilingual resume and job parsing plus Talent Flow agentic sourcing, matching, and screening. Plans are sales-quoted. Strattam Capital took a majority stake in 2023. The brand stays independent.

Where Daxtra fits

  • Staffing firms whose native CRM search is too slow on large resume piles
  • Enterprises that need high-accuracy multilingual parsing into an existing ATS
  • TA teams buying agentic sourcing/matching without ripping out Bullhorn or Workday
  • Partners who want parsing as a component rather than a full recruiting suite

HireLayer

€24/mo Free tier

Developer API from Paris for adding resume parsing and candidate scoring to your own software. Five endpoints cover CV parsing, job criteria extraction, one to one matching, ranking up to 10 candidates and skills normalisation, all on one credit balance, and a first-party MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT use the same tools in a chat. The free plan gives 50 calls a month; paid plans are 24 euros a month for 500 and 89 euros for 2,000.

Where HireLayer fits

  • ATS and HR software teams adding resume parsing to their product
  • Job boards that prefill profiles from an uploaded CV
  • Agencies screening applicants inside Claude or ChatGPT
  • EU teams that need resumes processed inside the EU

Where they pull apart

Daxtra

Stands out: Parsing and semantic match in 40+ languages, wired into 400+ ATS/CRM and job-board connections, with Talent Flow adding agentic source-match-screen and engagement (SMS, voice, video).

Watch out: There is no public rate card. Implementation sits on top of the ATS or CRM you already run. This is not a replacement ATS.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that want a $50/mo all-in-one ATS with careers site
  • Buyers who need a credit-card plan table before talking to sales

HireLayer

Stands out: Every score comes with a reason: Match returns a status and explanation for each weighted criterion, and Rank orders up to 10 candidates for one credit with a rationale each. Prices are public, failed calls cost nothing, and the same credits work through the MCP server, so a recruiter can screen resumes in Claude without writing code.

Watch out: Criteria labels, match explanations and ranking rationales are written in French whatever the input language, so English teams rely on their assistant or their own code to translate them. Prices are in euros only, and the ATS connections are API recipes a developer builds, not one click marketplace apps.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who want a finished screening app with no setup
  • Teams that need explanations written natively in English

Pros and cons

  • Public prices, a free plan and no charge for failed calls
  • First-party MCP server on every plan

What each one costs

Daxtra

Sales-quoted

Daxtra does not publish plan prices. Parsing, search/match, and Talent Flow are quoted after a demo. The product layers onto existing ATS and CRM systems rather than replacing them. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
