The short answer

Juicebox : Natural-language sourcing with a much larger US-heavy index and a public $99/mo start, where Kalent quotes seats but covers Europe more deeply. From $99/mo
Pin : Sourcing and outreach agent with a free plan and public seats from $99/mo, but no WhatsApp channel and ATS export as an add-on. From $99/mo
hireEZ : Established US outbound sourcing platform from $494/mo with deeper US ATS coverage, a better fit than Kalent for Bullhorn and Greenhouse shops. From $494/mo

Why people look past Kalent

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.

What we noted

Platform seat prices are quote only
ATS list leans toward French and European systems
ATS sync is an add-on below the Team plan

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

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

$99/mo Free tier Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: Sourcing and outreach agent with a free plan and public seats from $99/mo, but no WhatsApp channel and ATS export as an add-on.

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Established US outbound sourcing platform from $494/mo with deeper US ATS coverage, a better fit than Kalent for Bullhorn and Greenhouse shops.

Best for

Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial
