Juicebox vs Kalent

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

Starting price

Juicebox

$99/mo Free tier Free trial

Fits sourcers who want PeopleGPT over a large index instead of Boolean. Free plan exists; paid Starter is $99/seat/mo annual. Agents are a $199 add-on.

Where Juicebox fits

  • Sourcers who hate Boolean
  • Agencies on a few seats
  • Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby
  • Desks that want MCP on paid plans

Kalent

$55/500 credits 7 day free trial

AI sourcing agent built in France for teams hiring in Europe and the US. Describe the role in plain language, get ranked matches from 200M+ profiles with mobiles and personal emails, and let the agent draft LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp outreach you approve. Platform seats are quoted after a 7-day free trial, and the MCP for Claude and ChatGPT runs on public credit packs from $55.

Where Kalent fits

  • Agencies and in-house teams hiring across France and the rest of Europe
  • Recruiters who reach candidates on WhatsApp as well as LinkedIn and email
  • Teams sourcing from inside Claude or ChatGPT through an MCP
  • Companies on Workday, Teamtailor, Ashby or SmartRecruiters that want one-click candidate push

Where they pull apart

Juicebox

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need Juicebox to be the ATS
  • Buyers who only want a cheap email finder

Kalent

Stands out: European coverage and WhatsApp outreach are built in, which most US-first sourcing tools treat as an afterthought, and the vendor holds SOC 2 Type 2 with GDPR opt-out handling. It also ships one of the more complete recruiting MCP servers: OAuth sign in, search, enrichment, outreach and ATS push from inside Claude or ChatGPT, on credit packs that never expire.

Watch out: Seat prices are not published, so you need a sales call to cost the full platform; only the MCP credit packs carry public prices. The ATS list leans French and European (Flatchr, Taleez, BoondManager, Beetween), and Greenhouse, Lever and Bullhorn are not among the 20 named integrations on its integrations page. ATS sync is an add-on below the Team plan, and the 70% mobile figure is the vendor's own claim.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a public per-seat price before a sales call
  • US agencies whose ATS of record is Bullhorn
  • Teams that only need a cheap email finder
