Juicebox vs LinkedIn Hiring Assistant

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

LinkedIn Hiring Assistant is an AI agent inside LinkedIn Recruiter that turns a role brief into sourced candidates, ranked applicants and drafted InMails. It is a quote-based add-on to a Recruiter or RPS+ contract, with no published price or trial. It fits corporate and staffing teams already on LinkedIn Recruiter who handle 3 or more well-defined roles.

Where LinkedIn Hiring Assistant fits

  • Enterprise TA teams already on LinkedIn Recruiter
  • Staffing firms on RPS+ contracts
  • Recruiters juggling 3 or more well-defined roles

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

LinkedIn Hiring Assistant

Stands out: It sources only from LinkedIn's 1B+ member network and uses signals other tools cannot see, such as your team's past Recruiter activity and InMail history, excluding anyone messaged in the last 3 months. RSC+ lets it evaluate applicants from your ATS alongside LinkedIn applicants, and a Microsoft Teams integration brings hiring managers into feedback. It runs in 7 languages.

Watch out: You cannot buy it on its own: it requires a LinkedIn Recruiter or RPS+ contract, and LinkedIn Recruiter is listed separately in this directory as the parent product. Admins must assign Hiring Assistant licenses per seat, and LinkedIn says access is rolling out gradually, so some accounts may not see it yet. Sourcing is limited to LinkedIn members, and outreach runs through InMail rather than email or phone.

Not the right fit for

  • Small businesses without a Recruiter contract
  • Teams sourcing talent outside LinkedIn
  • Buyers who want self-serve pricing or a trial
