$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Sourcing over a broader graph with diversity and mobility filters.
Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.
Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.
Best for
PPC / subscription Free tier MCP API
Why it comes up: Job distribution if you are buying applications rather than InMail.
Stands out: The board candidates actually open, with MCP and an API on top.
Watch out: Pay-per-click spend can outrun a small budget quickly, and it is not your ATS.

$130/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Sequences on top of Recruiter if the gap is CRM, not search.
Stands out: CRM and outreach layered onto the ATS you already have, with a hosted MCP.
