Compare/Head to head

Humanly vs Scotty AI

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

Humanly

Quote-based

High-volume screening over chat and SMS, with interview notes in the same flow. Quote-based.

Where Humanly fits

  • High-volume hourly hiring
  • Talent teams that screen over SMS
  • Teams that want notes attached to the candidate
  • Employers comparing conversational hiring tools

Scotty AI

Quote-based

Enterprise grade AI recruiter for high volume hiring, strongest in Europe: instant WhatsApp and voice replies, screening, scheduling and cross selling candidates into other roles, all synced with the ATS. It is consulting led and quote based with a multi week rollout, so it suits large employers and staffing firms rather than small teams wanting a self serve tool.

Where Scotty AI fits

  • Large employers and staffing agencies hiring hundreds of frontline or hourly workers
  • European hiring teams that need GDPR and EU AI Act ready AI screening
  • Organisations that want AI hiring agents deployed inside their own cloud

Where they pull apart

Humanly

Stands out: Conversational screening is the product rather than a feature bolted onto a tracker.

Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for executive search.

Not the right fit for

  • Executive search
  • Buyers who need a published price

Scotty AI

Stands out: Scotty handles the messy middle of volume hiring, not just the happy path: missing documents, no shows and reschedules are chased or escalated automatically, and rejected applicants are redirected to other open roles. Sovereign deployment (private cloud or on premise, bring your own model) and an EU AI Act compliance programme are rare in this category.

Watch out: There is no self serve plan or public price, and the vendor puts first go live at 8 to 16 weeks. Scotty now pitches itself as general enterprise agent infrastructure as well as recruiting, and its client base is mostly Dutch and European, so US buyers should ask for local references.

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams that want to sign up and start today
  • Buyers who need a published price before a demo
  • Low volume professional hiring where a chatbot adds little
