Where they pull apart

Maki People

Watch out: No public rate card. Pricing is set per deal, and the product targets enterprise volume hiring.

Not the right fit for

  • Startups that want a self-serve screener
  • Buyers who need a published price

Outhire

Stands out: An AI interviewer named Joel runs phone and video screens 24/7 in 10+ languages and returns scorecards.

Watch out: Price depends on hiring volume and isn't published. ATS integrations, SSO, and right-to-work checks need the Business plan.
