The short answer

QJumpers : Also priced per job rather than per user, from $129/job, with an ATS and AI sourcing over 900M profiles and an API. From $129/job
TheHireHub.AI : AI recruiter that writes the job description, sources, screens and schedules, with published job slots from $199 and a 7-day free trial. From $199/job slot

Why people look past Job Crystal

The product and its published prices are built for South Africa: background checks are priced in rand, many checks are South African (ITC credit, SA fraud, matric), and the UK pricing page shows the same rand list. The per-job Crystal AI price is not shown as a fixed number, and the site makes broad claims such as 99% accuracy that are not independently backed.

What we noted

Per-job AI price not published
Pricing and checks built for South Africa
No integrations or API listed

Not the right fit for

US teams, given rand pricing and South African data checks
Buyers who want a published per-seat or per-job price

Worth keeping in mind: You can mix self-serve AI sourcing with a done-for-you agency at 15% of salary with exclusivity, and add background checks with fingerprint-based criminal checks from the same supplier. Crystal searches a 67 million+ candidate database plus 42 outside databases from one job description.

What each one does differently

QJumpers

$129/job API

Why it comes up: Also priced per job rather than per user, from $129/job, with an ATS and AI sourcing over 900M profiles and an API.

Stands out: Pricing by job volume instead of users: Casual is $129 per job with no subscription, and Core gives unlimited users, so hiring managers across branches can review candidates without adding seats. The AI sourcing engine adds a JumpReady signal for who is likely open to offers.

Watch out: Core and Premium prices are quoted, integrations carry maintenance fees, and AI search sits in Premium or the separate sourcing product rather than the base ATS. The company is based in New Zealand, with support lines in Australia and the US.

Best for

Employers who hire sporadically and want pay per job pricing
Multi-site employers that need many hiring manager users
Teams adding AI sourcing to an existing ATS

TheHireHub.AI

$199/job slot 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: AI recruiter that writes the job description, sources, screens and schedules, with published job slots from $199 and a 7-day free trial.

Stands out: Nothing auto-renews. Slots and credits are bought once, top-up credits never expire, and your data stays exportable for 24 months after a plan ends, which suits teams that hire in bursts rather than all year. The founder ran an executive search firm for two decades, and the separate passive and confidential hiring modes reflect that background.

Watch out: Only the single Launch slot has a public price; Starter, Growth and Scale go through sales. ATS integration and AI interviews are paid add-ons on every tier, invoicing is built around India (GST invoices), and there are no outside reviews yet.

Best for

Mid-market and growth-stage teams hiring a handful to 50 roles a year
Recruiters filling senior or confidential roles who want passive candidates surfaced
Teams that prefer a one-off purchase to a monthly subscription

SkillSpot.ai

$49/mo

Why it comes up: Low cost AI sourcing from 800M+ profiles with resume screening and AI interviews at a published $49/mo, better for US buyers.

Stands out: At $49/mo it is one of the cheapest ways to get AI sourcing, resume screening and AI interviews in one product, with every limit spelled out on the pricing page.

Watch out: AI video interviews and the Talent Pool need Talent Pro at $599/mo, and the entry plan allows only 10 interviews a month. Integrations are not documented on standard plans, and there are few independent reviews.

Best for

Small businesses making occasional hires on a tight budget
Solo recruiters who want sourcing, screening and interviews in one login
Teams trying AI interviews before a bigger platform
