Fastr.ai from $94/user/mo 15 day free trial

The short answer

  • SeekOut : SeekOut is an enterprise talent graph from $149/mo with a trial, heavier than Fastr Pro's individual matching SKU. From $149/mo
  • hireEZ : hireEZ is AI outbound sourcing from $494/mo, a higher-priced workbench with a different packaging model. From $494/mo
  • RecruiterClaw : RecruiterClaw is $600/mo plus your own Claude subscription, Slack specialists rather than an ATS-matching engine. From $600/mo
  • Gem : Gem is a recruiting CRM and sourcing workbench if you need pipeline CRM around matching, not only a Pro seat. From 130

Why people look past Fastr.ai

ATS and CRM integrations, applicant relevance, and candidate rediscovery sit on Enterprise, not Pro. Contact credits are capped at 250/month on Pro. This is sourcing, not an ATS of record.

What we noted

  • ATS connectors are Enterprise-only
  • 250 contact credits per month on Pro will not cover a heavy outbound desk
  • Not an ATS. Pipeline and compliance still live elsewhere

Not the right fit for

  • TA orgs that need Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday matching on day one (that is Enterprise)
  • Buyers who want a free-forever sourcing extension

Worth keeping in mind: Pro is unbundled from enterprise: no ATS required, no seat minimums, unlimited matching results, 250 contact credits per month, and Gmail or Outlook sequencing.

What each one does differently

SeekOut

$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: SeekOut is an enterprise talent graph from $149/mo with a trial, heavier than Fastr Pro's individual matching SKU.

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

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: hireEZ is AI outbound sourcing from $494/mo, a higher-priced workbench with a different packaging model.

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Best for

  • Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
  • Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
  • Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial

Read the hireEZ write-up Fastr.ai vs hireEZ

Why it comes up: RecruiterClaw is $600/mo plus your own Claude subscription, Slack specialists rather than an ATS-matching engine.

Stands out: Your work stays on your Claude account. RecruiterClaw does not meter AI tokens. Sourcing and contact enrichment is the one allowance, because verified contact data costs money.

Watch out: This is not an ATS. Delete, merge, and archive still happen in your ATS or CRM. Founding-client pricing is confirmed on a call. MPC Builder enrichment sits on an Intelligence add-on.

Best for

  • Independent recruiters and small desks that live in Slack and will bring their own Claude login
  • Owners who want desk memory that does not walk out when a coordinator quits
  • BD-minded recruiters using MPC campaigns from one resume

Gem

130 MCP API

Why it comes up: Gem is a recruiting CRM and sourcing workbench if you need pipeline CRM around matching, not only a Pro seat.

Stands out: CRM and outreach layered onto the ATS you already have, with a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Pricing scales with company headcount, and anything past a small team is quoted.

Best for

  • Mid-market talent teams already on Greenhouse or Ashby
  • Sourcing desks that need sequences in the CRM
  • Teams re-engaging past applicants
