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

Recruit CRM

Stands out: A hosted MCP at agent.recruitcrm.io plus agency hotlists and GDPR controls.

Watch out: MCP access has to be switched on per role before an assistant can connect.

Not the right fit for

Corporate in-house talent teams
Desks that want structured hiring kits
