The short answer

  • Eightfold : Enterprise talent intelligence and matching if you want an internal talent marketplace too. From Sales-quoted
  • SeekOut : Recruiter-facing talent search if the job is sourcing, not workforce modeling. From $149/mo
  • Visier : People analytics on your HRIS if you already own the employee data. From Sales-quoted
  • Beamery : Talent CRM plus intelligence if marketing to candidates is the main job. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Draup

No self-serve price. Fit is large HR and GTM teams, not a recruiter Chrome extension. Implementation assumes HRIS or CRM connection.

What we noted

  • Quote-only; no self-serve checkout
  • Built for enterprise, not SMB sourcers
  • Heavy for teams that only need contact data

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-seat price
  • Sourcers who only want LinkedIn profile contact data

Worth keeping in mind: Workforce graph plus Curie/Etter agents, with MCP and API for live labor and account data.

What each one does differently

Eightfold

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Enterprise talent intelligence and matching if you want an internal talent marketplace too.

Stands out: Skills-graph matching plus internal mobility, rather than another application inbox.

Watch out: No published price, no MCP, and it usually sits on top of an existing ATS rather than replacing it.

Best for

  • Enterprises that want internal mobility alongside external search
  • Talent teams buying a skills graph
  • Large employers comparing talent intelligence platforms

SeekOut

$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Recruiter-facing talent search if the job is sourcing, not workforce modeling.

Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.

Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.

Best for

  • Corporate talent teams on hard-to-find roles
  • Diversity-focused search teams
  • Organisations that want internal mobility next to external search

Visier

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: People analytics on your HRIS if you already own the employee data.

Stands out: Vee and the MCP server. Most analytics vendors give you dashboards; Visier gives every leader an agent that answers a workforce question in Slack, Teams or Copilot, and lets your own Claude or ChatGPT agents query the same governed data over MCP with each person's permissions intact. Sixteen years of benchmark data tell you whether your turnover or time to fill is normal.

Watch out: No public pricing and no free trial: this is a sales-led enterprise purchase, with independent estimates running well into five or six figures a year. It reads your HR systems rather than replacing them, so the value depends on how clean your HRIS and ATS data are, and answers reflect the last data load, not live records.

Best for

  • Enterprise HR and talent leaders who need one trusted picture of headcount, cost and attrition
  • People analytics teams that want to hand routine questions to an agent
  • HR and Finance teams planning headcount and org design from the same numbers

Beamery

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Talent CRM plus intelligence if marketing to candidates is the main job.

Stands out: The career site and the internal bench share one skills model.

Watch out: No published price, and it is a platform rather than a sourcing tool.

Best for

  • Enterprise talent teams buying CRM plus skills
  • Organisations already on Workday or SuccessFactors
  • Internal mobility programmes
