Where they pull apart

Giig Hire

Stands out: A real free CRM for solo recruiters, with Plus API access and a Claude MCP on the Giig AI tier.

Watch out: Free Forever is limited to one user. API access starts on Plus. MCP Claude access is on Giig AI, which is early access.

Not the right fit for

Loxo

Stands out: An ATS plus a sourcing database and MCP, built for agency desks.

Watch out: The published Core price is annual billing, and the MCP URL is issued in-product.

Not the right fit for
