Compare/Head to head

JobsPipe vs TheirStack

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

Starting price

JobsPipe

$49/mo Free tier

JobsPipe is a job-postings API that merges 30+ boards and ATS platforms into one deduplicated schema with salary, location and remote flag parsed. Free gives 1,000 credits with no card, and paid plans start at $49 a month for 25,000 credits at one credit per job. It is a data feed rather than a recruiter app, used through the API, an MCP server, Slack or saved Signals.

Where JobsPipe fits

  • Sales and RevOps teams building hiring-signal lead lists
  • Staffing agencies that want new reqs from direct employers by title and city
  • Job board builders replacing a pile of scrapers
  • Developers giving an AI agent live job data

TheirStack

$49/mo Free tier

For agency recruiters who win business off hiring signals: TheirStack finds every company posting a given role, and what tech it runs, from career sites, ATSs and job boards. Free with 50 company credits a month; API and MCP from $49/mo.

Where TheirStack fits

  • Agency recruiters building BD lists from companies hiring for the roles they place
  • Desks that want a daily alert when target accounts post new jobs
  • Teams feeding hiring signals into Claude, Clay or their own tools by API, webhook or MCP

Where they pull apart

JobsPipe

Stands out: One feed replaces a stack of per-site scrapers, and the pricing is easy to reason about: one credit per job, charged once a month, nothing for empty results. Agents are first-class, with a hosted MCP server, a CLI, installable skills and a no-key sandbox you can try before signing up.

Watch out: This is a data API, not an app, so someone has to build on it or use it through an assistant, Slack or saved Signals. Credits are spent per job returned, so a wide search can burn through the free 1,000 quickly. The 15.3 million postings and 10,171 companies figures are the vendor's own, and it is a young product with the site first published in June 2026.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who want a point and click search screen
  • Buyers who want candidate or contact data rather than job postings
  • Teams that need a flat monthly price regardless of volume

TheirStack

Stands out: The depth of its job-posting archive: the vendor lists 225M postings back to 2021 across 195 countries and 352k sources, adds about 305k a day, and keeps closed jobs with the date each role went offline. Saved searches send daily or weekly email alerts or push to a webhook, so a desk hears the day a target company opens a role it places.

Watch out: It names the hiring manager where it can (name, role and LinkedIn profile) but gives no emails or phone numbers, so you still need an enrichment tool to reach anyone. App credits and API credits are separate pools, and each app export is capped at 200 jobs per company.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who need candidate profiles or contact details
  • Teams that want emails and hiring signals in a single tool

  • Credits are charged per job returned, so broad searches use them quickly
  • Free is a one-off 1,000 credits with a daily rather than hourly refresh

TheirStack

  • Closed jobs are kept and dated, not just live ones
  • Email alerts and webhooks for new postings
