Hirelix vs Loxo

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

Starting price

Hirelix

$49/mo 7 day free trial

Hirelix is a personal AI agent for independent headhunters and boutique search consultants that works only from the resumes, candidate lists and notes you already have. It matches saved candidates to a new brief, prepares client recommendation pages and email drafts, and costs $49 a month after a 7-day trial with 200 credits and no card.

Where Hirelix fits

  • Independent headhunters with their own candidate pool
  • Boutique search consultants in the US and Canada
  • Recruiters who keep resumes and call notes outside an ATS
  • Searches where clients want a written case for each candidate

Loxo

$149/user/mo

Agency ATS with AI sourcing, sequences and a Chrome extension. Core is $149/user/mo billed annually and paid up front; Professional is priced by demo.

Where Loxo fits

  • Agencies that outgrew a spreadsheet and a job board
  • Desks that want sourcing next to the ATS
  • Teams that want MCP on the ATS of record
  • Buyers happy to pay annually up front

Where they pull apart

Hirelix

Stands out: It keeps your own pool working over time: a call note saved months ago can bring a candidate back when a matching brief arrives. Recommendations come with the supporting sources they draw on and a list of items still to confirm, and you can record candidate feedback against each role. Email sending requires your approval through a connected mailbox.

Watch out: It does not source new candidates or sell database access, and it is not an ATS: there is no automatic ATS sync, so records come in through CSV, PDF and DOCX uploads. Gmail inbox reading is not available, AI work draws on 3,000 monthly credits that do not roll over, and it is aimed at headhunters in the US and Canada.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who need new candidates sourced from a database
  • Agencies that need two-way ATS sync
  • Teams that want email sent without a review step

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
