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

Yena

Stands out: Plain-language search that writes back to the ATS, plus MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Copilot.

Watch out: Contact reveal is credit-metered on top of the seat, and this is an ATS rather than a Chrome finder.

Not the right fit for

  • US SMB teams that only need a cheap ATS
  • Buyers who want a Chrome extension as the product
