Where Signals fits

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

Signals

Stands out: It is the agency system of record (jobs, candidates, clients), not the Recruit Signals lead feed on recruitsignals.com.

Watch out: Per-user billing at $139 is above Happlicant's $69/user quarterly seat and in Loxo's neighborhood. Confirm AI sourcing versus pipeline-only on the live table.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams that need Greenhouse-style structured hiring
  • Buyers who only wanted the €99 Recruit Signals lead feed

Loxo

  • Public $149/user/mo Core
