Where they pull apart

Greenhouse

Stands out: Structured hiring plus marketplace depth, with a hosted MCP now in open beta.

Watch out: No published price, and the MCP is open beta rather than generally available.

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need a staffing CRM
Small teams that need a cheap tracker

RippleHire

Stands out: RippleHire runs named AI agents, including Amy for L1 interviews, a campus voice screening agent, an offer agent and an agent builder. It also offers both a developer API and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Cursor.

Watch out: RippleHire says it is built for organizations of about 1,000 or more employees and that smaller teams are probably not the right fit yet. It covers talent acquisition only, with no payroll or full HRIS, and there is no published price.

Not the right fit for

Teams under about 1,000 employees
Buyers who need a published price
Employers wanting payroll or a full HRIS
