Head to head

Fuel50 vs Neobrain

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

Fuel50

Sales-quoted

Career pathing and skills ontology for internal mobility. Fuel50 prices from employee count and modules, and the public pricing page does not print a PEPM.

Where Fuel50 fits

  • Enterprises building a company-specific skills architecture before a marketplace
  • L&D teams that want Coach, Learn+, and Mobility as addable modules
  • CHRO groups that care about independently audited AI on matching
  • Companies comparing Fuel50's ontology to Gloat's Workforce Graph

Neobrain

Sales-quoted

Skills inference and internal mobility with a strong EU footprint. Neobrain editions are contact-us, not a public per-user grid.

Where Neobrain fits

  • European HR teams building a dynamic skills ontology
  • Companies that want internal mobility and a talent planner in one AI vendor
  • Enterprises comparing Neobrain to 365Talents and Gloat
  • L&D groups that will actually run assessments against the inferred skill graph

Where they pull apart

Fuel50

Stands out: Every module is all-in access with no gated features inside a module, and the vendor says incremental cost per employee falls as you add people or modules.

Watch out: fuel50.com/pricing is a talk-to-sales page. Cost follows employee count and which modules you add, not a printed PEPM you can check out.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-user price this week
  • Talent teams that only needed an ATS

Neobrain

Stands out: The suite is named as Skills Intelligence, Talent Marketplace, Talent Planner, and Engagement Loop, aimed at mid-size and large enterprises rather than SMB HRIS buyers.

Watch out: Public pages send you to sales. Jobs and Skills Framework and Internal Talent Marketplace are packaged as editions, not a checkout price.

Not the right fit for

  • US small businesses that need a published PEPM
  • Recruiting teams that only needed outbound sourcing

Pros and cons

Fuel50

  • Modular architecture so you can start with Base and add Mobility or Gigs later
  • All-in access inside a module rather than feature-gating a SKU
  • People-science ontology plus independently audited AI in the vendor pitch
  • No vendor-printed PEPM on the pricing page
  • Capterra has only 11 reviews
  • Implementation is typically months, not a weekend rollout

Neobrain

  • Named Skills, Marketplace, Planner, and Engagement products
  • EU delivery and language coverage for continental employers
  • Aimed at skills-based planning, not just a jobs board
  • No public rate card. Editions are contact-us
  • Capterra has no review base
  • Easy to confuse with similarly named budgeting or network vendors

What each one costs

Fuel50

Sales-quoted

Fuel50 prices from the number of employees on the platform and the modules you choose (Base, Skills Architecture, Development, Coach, Learn+, Mobility, Gigs, and insights modules). The public pricing page does not print dollar amounts. Volume-based savings apply as you add employees or modules. Pilots are offered as a cohort rollout, not a numbered self-serve trial.
