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

SourceWhale

Stands out: Outreach, SMS, WhatsApp, call tasks, notes, and inbox AI sit in one agency workspace with ATS write-back.

Watch out: There is no public rate card. LinkedIn steps are often manual to-dos, and InMail is not sent from inside the tool.

Not the right fit for

In-house teams that want a published monthly price
LinkedIn-first users who need InMail sent in-tool
