Where they pull apart

Ezekia

Stands out: Monthly contracts with no per-search or placement fees, and a hosted MCP server for AI assistants.

Watch out: There is no public seat price. Every plan is scoped and quoted per user, so you need a sales call to get a number.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who want a published self-serve price
High-volume corporate TA teams

Manatal

Stands out: A $15 per-user start with AI ranking and browser capture included.

Watch out: MCP is Enterprise Plus only, and monthly billing is $19 rather than $15.

Not the right fit for

Small teams that need MCP below the top tier
Teams that refuse annual billing
