Head to head

Fastr.ai vs RecruiterClaw

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

Fastr.ai

$94/user/mo 15 day free trial

Fastr.ai is AI matching that sits inside your ATS, with a Pro SKU for individual recruiters at $94 per user per month billed annually ($99 month-to-month). A 15-day trial needs no credit card. Enterprise ATS matching is custom.

Where Fastr.ai fits

  • Solo and lean recruiters who want contextual AI matching at $94/user/mo annual
  • Desks that will try Pro for 15 days with no card
  • Teams that live in Gmail or Outlook rather than an enterprise ATS overlay
  • US-focused sourcers using the Premier US Talent Access pitch on Pro

RecruiterClaw puts four Slack specialists on a recruiting desk that share one memory. The license is $600 per month plus about $100 for the Claude subscription you own. All-in is described as about $700 a month, with a one-time onboarding fee settled on the call.

Where RecruiterClaw fits

  • 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
  • Desks comparing all-in ~$700/mo against a coordinator hire

Where they pull apart

Fastr.ai

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

Watch out: 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.

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

RecruiterClaw

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.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams that need an ATS, not a Slack staff
  • Buyers who will not pay a separate Claude subscription

Pros and cons

Fastr.ai

  • Published $94/user/mo annual Pro with a 15-day no-card trial
  • No ATS required and no seat minimum on Pro
  • Unlimited matching results on the individual SKU
  • 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

RecruiterClaw

  • Flat $600/mo license with no per-task token meter
  • Your Claude account holds the data, with no vendor AI markup
  • Slack-native staff plus MPC campaign builder for BD
  • You still buy Claude at about $100/mo and keep an ATS
  • Founding price and onboarding fee are finished on a call
  • Not a replacement for Greenhouse-class pipeline of record
