HeroHunt vs xhuman

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

Starting price

HeroHunt

$99/mo 8 day free trial

Autonomous AI recruiter for outbound sourcing and outreach, with natural-language search and MCP. Starter is $99 a month; 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

xhuman

Sales-quoted Free tier

People-search agent for search firms: describe the mandate in a sentence, xhuman searches the open web and your own network, shows the evidence behind every match, then drafts and paces the outreach from your own mailbox. You can start free after a review; paid plans are not published and are shown in the chat.

Where xhuman fits

  • Search consultants working mandates where job titles do not identify the right people
  • Agency owners who want candidate search and client business development out of the same tool
  • Recruiters reactivating past placements and dormant contacts already in their network
  • Individual billers whose real asset is a personal network rather than a database seat

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 the trial converts to a paid plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need inbound screening
  • Buyers who want a free forever plan

xhuman

Stands out: Every match opens to show why it matched, tracing each criterion back to the talk, post or profile the claim came from, and saying so when the evidence is not strong enough rather than filling the gap. It also reads your own side: connect a mailbox and your LinkedIn network and it can tell you who you already know inside a target account, which a database-first sourcing tool cannot do.

Watch out: The product is in private beta. The vendor no longer publishes plan prices: you start free after a review, and any paid plan is offered inside the chat, so you cannot budget from a public rate card. Companies book a call with the founder. The vendor describes SOC 2 as a programme on its Trust Center rather than a finished report.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need a shared pipeline, ownership rules and team reporting
  • Buyers who want a published per-seat price before they sign up
  • Anyone who needs a completed SOC 2 report and general availability today
