Where they pull apart

Loxo

Stands out: An ATS plus a sourcing database and MCP, built for agency desks.

Watch out: The published Core price is annual billing, and the MCP URL is issued in-product.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house talent teams that need structured hiring kits
  • Buyers working to a sub-$100 per-seat budget

Mainder

Stands out: The ATS and multiposting to 5,000+ job boards come with every paid plan, so sourcing agents, outreach and the pipeline that holds the results sit in one product. AI Hunt stays attached to a job and keeps adding scored candidates around the clock, searching GitHub, Stack Overflow and Dribbble as well as LinkedIn.

Watch out: Prices are euro only and exclude VAT, and searches, AI Hunts and enrichments are capped per user each month. Paid plans have no trial, AI Hunt and contact enrichment start at Core (€119/user/mo annual), and multichannel outreach is a €20/user add-on on Pro and only included at Enterprise. AI interviews run in English, Spanish and Portuguese only, support works European hours, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams that need USD billing and US support hours
  • Teams that want to keep their current ATS and only add a sourcing layer
