Juicebox vs Mainder

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

Mainder

€39/user/mo Free tier

AI recruiting agents with an ATS and talent CRM built in: describe a role in plain language and Mainder searches more than a billion profiles, writes to candidates on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, and scores each one with a written reason. Built in Spain for agencies and in-house teams in Europe and Latin America. The free plan never expires; paid plans run €39 to €169/user/mo billed annually, with prices in euros only.

Where Mainder fits

  • Recruiting and staffing agencies in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
  • Small teams that want sourcing, outreach and an ATS in one subscription
  • Roles that reopen often, where a 24/7 AI Hunt keeps the pipeline full
  • Teams hiring in English, Spanish and Portuguese

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

Mainder

Stands out: The ATS and multiposting to 5,000+ job boards come with every paid plan, so sourcing agents, outreach and the pipeline that holds the results sit in one product. AI Hunt stays attached to a job and keeps adding scored candidates around the clock, searching GitHub, Stack Overflow and Dribbble as well as LinkedIn.

Watch out: Prices are euro only and exclude VAT, and searches, AI Hunts and enrichments are capped per user each month. Paid plans have no trial, AI Hunt and contact enrichment start at Core (€119/user/mo annual), and multichannel outreach is a €20/user add-on on Pro and only included at Enterprise. AI interviews run in English, Spanish and Portuguese only, support works European hours, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams that need USD billing and US support hours
  • Teams that want to keep their current ATS and only add a sourcing layer
