The short answer

  • Manatal : Established AI ATS priced per user from about $15/user/mo, for teams that prefer per seat pricing and a longer track record. From $15/user/mo
  • Litespace : Adds AI screening and AI pre screen interviews to the ATS you already use, paid per credit from $59/mo. From $59/mo

Why people look past Klearskill

Starter needs someone comfortable setting up and paying for an AI provider account. The vendor names no ATS or HRIS integrations on its site, so check it fits your stack, and Pro's AI screening is capped at 10,000 CVs a month unless you add your own key.

What we noted

  • Starter needs your own AI account
  • No integrations named on the vendor site
  • Few independent reviews

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises needing HRIS and payroll integrations
  • Teams without anyone to manage an AI key on Starter
  • Buyers who want sourcing or outreach

Worth keeping in mind: Bring your own AI: on Starter you plug in an OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter key and pay the model provider directly, so unlimited CV screening costs $10/mo plus pennies per CV. Pro's flat $50/mo covers every user on your domain rather than charging per seat.

What each one does differently

Manatal

$15/user/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Established AI ATS priced per user from about $15/user/mo, for teams that prefer per seat pricing and a longer track record.

Stands out: A $15 per-user start with AI ranking and browser capture included.

Watch out: MCP is Enterprise Plus only, and monthly billing is $19 rather than $15.

Best for

  • Small in-house teams
  • Boutique agencies
  • Desks that live in Chrome while sourcing

Litespace

$59/mo

Why it comes up: Adds AI screening and AI pre screen interviews to the ATS you already use, paid per credit from $59/mo.

Stands out: Clear unit economics: about 20 cents per resume screened and a dollar per AI interview, with ATS integrations included even on the entry plan.

Watch out: Credits do not roll over by default, so quiet months are wasted spend. The site gives little detail on how the AI interview works or how candidates are scored, so trial it on a live role.

Best for

  • Recruiting agencies screening inbound applicants
  • Small teams that want AI screening inside their existing ATS
  • Buyers who want to pay only for screens and interviews run

Recooty

$79/mo 15 day free trial

Why it comes up: Budget ATS from $79/mo, an option if you want a conventional ATS without managing an AI key.

Stands out: No credit card for the 15-day demo, and Starter already includes AI top matches, parsing, and a careers site.

Watch out: Starter is 5 active jobs and 20 employees. Standard is $149/mo yearly. Premier is a quote. API access lives in-app.

Best for

  • Small HR teams hiring a few roles at a time
  • Companies that want Indeed and LinkedIn posting in the ATS
  • Teams that will start on a 15-day demo
