Hirebase vs TheirStack

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

Starting price

Hirebase

$50/mo Free tier

A job search engine and data API built from company career pages, which agency recruiters can use as a business development list: see who is hiring for the roles you place, track hiring velocity and pull the likely hiring manager. Free to search, Pro is $50/mo.

Where Hirebase fits

  • Agency recruiters hunting for companies hiring in their niche
  • Sales and BD teams using hiring as a buying signal
  • Job boards and tools that need a fresh jobs feed by API

TheirStack

$49/mo Free tier

For agency recruiters who win business off hiring signals: TheirStack finds every company posting a given role, and what tech it runs, from career sites, ATSs and job boards. Free with 50 company credits a month; API and MCP from $49/mo.

Where TheirStack fits

  • Agency recruiters building BD lists from companies hiring for the roles they place
  • Desks that want a daily alert when target accounts post new jobs
  • Teams feeding hiring signals into Claude, Clay or their own tools by API, webhook or MCP

Where they pull apart

Hirebase

Stands out: Jobs come straight from more than 230,000 career pages, refreshed hourly on paid API plans, not from job board aggregators, and expired roles are filtered out. Pro returns up to 25 hiring manager contacts a day, and a separate Hiring Manager API finds the decision maker behind a role for $0.30 a run.

Watch out: It is built first as a data product, so the no-code side is a search and export app rather than an outreach tool; you still need a sequencer. API plans count every job returned, so wide searches use the allowance quickly. The free API tier refreshes daily, not hourly.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house teams looking for candidates rather than companies
  • Recruiters who want contact data and sequencing in one tool

TheirStack

Stands out: The depth of its job-posting archive: the vendor lists 225M postings back to 2021 across 195 countries and 352k sources, adds about 305k a day, and keeps closed jobs with the date each role went offline. Saved searches send daily or weekly email alerts or push to a webhook, so a desk hears the day a target company opens a role it places.

Watch out: It names the hiring manager where it can (name, role and LinkedIn profile) but gives no emails or phone numbers, so you still need an enrichment tool to reach anyone. App credits and API credits are separate pools, and each app export is capped at 200 jobs per company.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who need candidate profiles or contact details
  • Teams that want emails and hiring signals in a single tool
