Compare/Head to head
Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
$15/user/mo 14 day free trial
Affordable ATS for small businesses and agencies with AI match scores, a Chrome extension and an API, from $15/user/mo on annual billing.
Where Manatal fits
$28,000/yr 14 day free trial
A full AI native ATS with predictive scoring, sourcing, video interviews and a roster of AI hiring agents, aimed at mid size and large employers, RPOs and universities. Pricing is public but starts at $28,000 a year, so it competes with enterprise suites rather than small business ATS tools.

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
X0PA AI
Stands out: X0PA publishes enterprise pricing that most rivals hide, and its predictive retention and performance scoring goes beyond resume matching. One vendor covers ATS, sourcing, AI agents, video interviews and specialist editions for RPOs and academic admissions.
Watch out: The entry price is $28,000 a year and AI agents, video interviews and extra seats add cost. The pricing page FAQ still mentions a $49 per user Lite plan that no longer appears among the plan cards, so confirm what is actually on offer. Review volume on Capterra is very small.
