What each one does differently

Juicebox

$99/mo Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: AI sourcing with a public plan ladder if you want a longer trial.

Stands out: Natural-language search plus a Chrome extension and 50+ ATS connectors.

Watch out: The Agents add-on costs extra on top of the seat price.

Best for

  • Sourcers who hate Boolean
  • Agencies on a few seats
  • Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Sourcing database if you already buy contact credits in bulk.

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

SeekOut

$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Enterprise talent search if you need diversity filters and org charts.

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

Gem

130 MCP API

Why it comes up: Recruiting CRM plus sourcing if your ATS already sits in Gem.

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
