Where they pull apart

Happlicant

Stands out: Every seat includes AI resume parsing, a LinkedIn Chrome sourcing extension, and full ATS/CRM automation. There is no job or candidate cap below Enterprise.

Watch out: Enterprise (SSO, custom APIs, unlimited users on a flat fee) is quoted separately. A Leads Discovery add-on that feeds 10 open jobs a day is $49/user/mo on top of the seat.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams that need a corporate ATS, not an agency desk CRM
  • Firms that require SSO and a public API on the first paid plan

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

  • In-house talent teams that need structured hiring kits
  • Buyers working to a sub-$100 per-seat budget

  • Seven-day trial, no card
  • MCP plus API on an agency ATS
  • Core price is annual billing
  • Not built for in-house structured hiring
