Klearskill vs Recooty

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

Starting price

Klearskill

$10/mo Free trial

One of the cheapest AI screening ATSs going: $10/mo if you bring your own AI key, or $50/mo flat with the AI and unlimited teammates included. Good for small teams drowning in CVs; lighter on integrations and track record than established ATSs.

Where Klearskill fits

  • Small teams screening high applicant volumes on a tight budget
  • Companies happy to use their own AI provider account
  • Teams that want unlimited users at a flat price

Recooty

$79/mo 15 day free trial

SMB ATS with AI matching and 200-plus job boards. Starter is $79/mo billed yearly, or $99/mo monthly, with a 15-day demo.

Where Recooty fits

  • 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
  • Shops that want AI scoring without an enterprise suite

Where they pull apart

Klearskill

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

Recooty

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need Premier features without a quote
  • Teams with more than 5 live jobs on a budget plan

Pros and cons

Klearskill

  • Unlimited jobs, candidates and CVs on both plans
  • Flat price with unlimited domain users on Pro
  • Choice of AI provider on Starter
  • Starter needs your own AI account
  • No integrations named on the vendor site

Recooty

  • Starter $79/mo yearly with AI matching
  • 15-day demo, no card
  • 200-plus job boards on Starter
  • Starter caps at 5 active jobs
  • Premier is quote-only
  • Starter limited to 20 employees

What each one costs

Klearskill

$10/mo

Starter is $10/mo for one user seat and covers hosting and storage; AI screening runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter key, so the model cost is billed by that provider. Pro is $50/mo flat with the AI included, up to 10,000 CVs screened a month, unlimited users on your company domain, admin roles, advanced analytics and priority support. Both plans include unlimited jobs, candidates and CVs. The free trial covers one job and 25 CVs, no card needed. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
