Where they pull apart

hireEZ

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Not the right fit for

  • Small desks that need a $50 finder
  • Buyers who need MCP

Prog.ai

Stands out: Likely-to-Move and skill scores come from actual code, not self-reported LinkedIn bullets. The Chrome extension (updated June 2026) overlays those insights on LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Kaggle.

Watch out: The vendor does not publish a self-serve plan table on getprog.ai. Contact and bulk-list access sit behind a sales conversation. This is software-engineer sourcing, not a general talent graph.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-engineering recruiting
  • Buyers who need a published monthly SKU before a demo
