Head to head

GitRoll vs Prog.ai

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

GitRoll

Free scan; contact for hiring plans

GitHub-evidence scoring for engineering hiring, with a free scan path and hiring plans sold through the vendor. GitRoll does not publish paid tier prices.

Where GitRoll fits

  • Engineering hiring teams that want GitHub evidence, not another coding-test vendor
  • Startups willing to start with a free scan before buying a hiring workspace
  • Teams sourcing outside the usual FAANG-resume pool
  • Recruiters who want agentic profiles instead of a static GitHub URL

Prog.ai

Sales-quoted

Prog.ai is a developer graph built from GitHub contributions, covering 60M+ engineers scored across tens of thousands of skills. Platform access is sales-quoted. The Chrome extension is free.

Where Prog.ai fits

  • Technical recruiters who hire from GitHub more than from job boards
  • Desks that want Likely-to-Move and scored skills while browsing LinkedIn
  • Teams building bulk engineer lists to export into an outreach tool
  • Companies competing with LinkedIn Recruiter on developers who barely keep a LinkedIn

Where they pull apart

GitRoll

Stands out: GitRoll scores real GitHub work (CURISM and ACID assessments) instead of resume keywords, aimed at finding undervalued builders in a 150M+ developer graph.

Watch out: GitRoll does not publish a self-serve rate card. Treat hiring seats as a quoted conversation.

Not the right fit for

  • TA teams that need a printed per-seat rate before a demo
  • Non-engineering hiring where GitHub evidence does not exist

Prog.ai

Stands out: Likely-to-Move and skill scores come from actual code, not self-reported LinkedIn bullets. The Chrome extension (updated June 2026) overlays those insights on LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Kaggle.

Watch out: The vendor does not publish a self-serve plan table on getprog.ai. Contact and bulk-list access sit behind a sales conversation. This is software-engineer sourcing, not a general talent graph.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-engineering recruiting
  • Buyers who need a published monthly SKU before a demo

Pros and cons

GitRoll

  • Scores real GitHub work instead of self-reported resume stacks
  • Free scan path so you can test a profile before buying hiring seats
  • Company page also offers a placement fee path if you want managed matching
  • No published paid SaaS rates
  • Placement fees (0.25% interview, 4.5% of salary) are a different commercial model than seats
  • Useless for roles with no public code history

Prog.ai

  • 60M+ engineers ranked from GitHub code, not resume keywords
  • Free Chrome extension on LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Kaggle
  • Likely-to-Move plus skill scores from real contributions
  • Full platform is sales-quoted. No homepage plan table
  • Engineer-only graph
  • Native outreach connectors to sequencers are still rolling out
