Head to head

HeroHunt vs Pin

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

HeroHunt

Quote Free trial

Autonomous AI recruiter for outbound sourcing and outreach, with natural-language search and MCP. No public price; the trial is eight days.

Where HeroHunt fits

  • Outbound talent teams without a large sourcer bench
  • Desks that want MCP on a recruiting agent
  • Natural-language search plus send in one product
  • Buyers who will start on an eight-day trial

Pin

$99/mo Free trial

Suits recruiter desks that want an agent to source and send first-touch on open reqs. Pin sits beside your ATS, not in it. Paid seats start at $99/user/mo billed annually.

Where Pin fits

  • In-house TA running several open reqs
  • Agencies that want agent loops per client
  • Desks that already have an ATS of record
  • Teams connecting Claude or ChatGPT via MCP

Where they pull apart

HeroHunt

Stands out: An AI recruiter that both sources and contacts, plus hosted MCP and REST.

Watch out: Outbound only (it does not handle inbound screening), and there is no published seat price.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need inbound screening
  • Buyers who need a public seat price today

Pin

Stands out: Hosted MCP plus an agent that sources and sequences against the req.

Watch out: ATS export is an add-on, not part of the base seat.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need Pin to be the ATS
  • Buyers who only want a contact finder

Pros and cons
