Where they pull apart

Geckoboard

Stands out: Geckoboard runs its own Metrics MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can query live dashboard metrics, and it is included on every plan with no usage charge. Viewers are unlimited on all plans, so only editors and screens add cost.

Watch out: Geckoboard has no Bullhorn or other ATS connector on its data sources page, so recruiting agencies have to route ATS data through Google Sheets, a SQL database, Zapier or the Datasets API. Geckoboard's pricing page shows only annual prices, and Essentials caps you at 2 dashboards and 1 screen before add-on fees.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a native Bullhorn feed
  • Leaderboard contests and rewards

Spinify

Stands out: Spinify has a dedicated Bullhorn integration that brings job orders, submissions, placements, commissions and revenue into contests such as Fastest Placement and Most Candidate Submissions. Every plan includes unlimited TV displays, all integrations and the Sidekick and Recognition AI agents.

Watch out: The Business plan needs at least 5 billable users, and the pricing page does not give the length of the free trial. Confirm whether the Coaching AI agent is part of your plan, since some Spinify plans sell it as an add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams under 5 users
  • Deep BI style reporting
