Where they pull apart

Manatal

Stands out: A $15 per-user start with AI ranking and browser capture included.

Watch out: MCP is Enterprise Plus only, and monthly billing is $19 rather than $15.

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams that need MCP below the top tier
  • Teams that refuse annual billing

RecrutFlo

Stands out: Flat monthly price per plan, no per-seat markup, no annual contract. Starter (€19/mo) is 2 users, 1 mailbox, 250 CV processing runs, and 500 active CV records.

Watch out: This is a CV inbox, not an ATS. Professional and Business still cap users at 5. Over-limit processing is a one-off add-on that expires at the end of the billing cycle. Prices are EUR including VAT.

Not the right fit for

  • US buyers who need a USD rate card and a full ATS/CRM
  • High-volume agencies that need more than 5 users or 5 mailboxes

Pros and cons

Manatal

  • Low published per-user price
  • 14-day trial with no card
  • Chrome extension included
  • MCP restricted to the top tier
  • Monthly billing costs more
  • Light on enterprise reporting

RecrutFlo

  • Free plan to process a real mailbox, no card required
  • Starter publishes at €19/mo with 250 CV runs and unlimited CSV export
  • No per-seat markup and no annual contract
  • EUR only. No USD rate card
  • Not an ATS. No job pipelines or client CRM
  • User cap stays at 5 even on Business. Extra runs are a same-cycle add-on
