The short answer

  • Recruiter Copilot : Also scores LinkedIn profiles against your job descriptions, with 25 free deep checks and unlimited use on Pro at $9/mo. From $9/mo
  • ContactOut : LinkedIn Chrome extension that reveals emails and phone numbers, the contact step HireScope AI leaves out. From $99/mo
  • Juicebox : Searches its own profile index in plain language, if you want to find candidates rather than score the ones you are viewing. From $99/mo

Why people look past HireScope AI

It is a very early product, version 0.1.1 with 16 Chrome users and no store ratings in October 2026, and the developer lists a personal Gmail address. It finds no contact data and sends nothing. The store listing says it handles personal information and website content, so read the privacy policy before screening for sensitive roles.

What we noted

  • Only 3 AI evaluations a day on the free plan
  • Paid plans not yet available
  • Very new, with a tiny user base

Not the right fit for

  • Teams screening more than 3 profiles a day with AI
  • Recruiters who need emails, phone numbers or outreach
  • Buyers who need an established vendor or ATS export

Worth keeping in mind: Much of it works without AI credits: experience stats, sorted skills and a keyword match appear on every profile for free, so the 3 daily AI evaluations can be saved for the candidates worth a deeper look. Each evaluation also writes interview questions for the role.

What each one does differently

Recruiter Copilot

$9/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Also scores LinkedIn profiles against your job descriptions, with 25 free deep checks and unlimited use on Pro at $9/mo.

Stands out: It scores the profiles you are already looking at, on free LinkedIn, Recruiter Lite or Recruiter Corporate alike, and checks each one against every job description you have loaded, so a profile opened for one role can surface as a fit for another. Each deep check ends in a plain Shortlist, Consider or Pass call.

Watch out: It is a young product, with 216 Chrome users and four store ratings in October 2026. It finds no emails or phone numbers and sends nothing, so a contact finder and outreach tool are still needed. The Chrome store listing says evaluations sync to your account on the vendor's side, so read the privacy policy before screening for sensitive roles.

Best for

  • Sourcers reviewing dozens of LinkedIn profiles a day against several open roles
  • Agency recruiters on free LinkedIn or Recruiter Lite who want a quick fit check
  • Technical recruiters checking a candidate's stack against a job description

ContactOut

$99/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkedIn Chrome extension that reveals emails and phone numbers, the contact step HireScope AI leaves out.

Stands out: Chrome extension recruiters keep pinned, plus mobiles and a hosted MCP.

Watch out: There is no simple public price table, so confirm the current rate with the vendor.

Best for

  • Recruiters working LinkedIn all day
  • Desks that need mobiles next to email
  • Teams that want MCP with an API token

Juicebox

$99/mo Free tier Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: Searches its own profile index in plain language, if you want to find candidates rather than score the ones you are viewing.

Stands out: Natural-language search plus a Chrome extension and 50+ ATS connectors.

Watch out: The Agents add-on costs extra on top of the seat price.

Best for

  • Sourcers who hate Boolean
  • Agencies on a few seats
  • Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby
