Head to head

Juicebox vs Pin

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

Juicebox

$99/mo 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

$99/mo Free trial

Suits recruiter desks that want an agent to source and send first-touch on open reqs. Pin sits beside your ATS, not in it. Paid seats start at $99/user/mo billed annually.

Where Pin fits

In-house TA running several open reqs
Agencies that want agent loops per client
Desks that already have an ATS of record
Teams connecting Claude or ChatGPT via MCP
