Where Recruiter Copilot fits

  • Sourcers reviewing dozens of LinkedIn profiles a day against several open roles

Where they pull apart

HireScope AI

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

Recruiter Copilot

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need contact data or outreach sequences in the same tool
  • Buyers who want scored candidates pushed into an ATS
  • Recruiters who source mostly outside LinkedIn

What each one costs

HireScope AI

Quote

The Free plan costs nothing, needs no card and does not expire. It includes 3 AI evaluations a day, 3 job positions, 50 saved candidates, 10 tags, 7 days of history and profile export; experience stats, skill sorting and quick match never use an evaluation. The pricing page lists Starter at $12/mo (200 evaluations a month, pipeline board, cloud sync, comparison) and Pro at $29/mo (2,000 a month, PDF and Word export), both marked Coming Soon in October 2026, so only the free plan can be bought today. Billing is monthly only. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
