Manatal vs Zwayam

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Manatal

$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

  • Small in-house teams
  • Boutique agencies
  • Desks that live in Chrome while sourcing
  • Buyers who want AI match without enterprise pricing

Zwayam

Quote-based

Enterprise hiring platform for Indian employers that recruit heavily through Naukri, part of Info Edge, the company behind Naukri.com, since 2021. It is sold by quote after a demo, and Zwayam says it is the only platform with Naukri Resdex search and import built in.

Where Zwayam fits

  • Indian enterprises hiring via Naukri
  • TA teams wanting AI first-round interviews
  • Employers needing SOC 2 and ISO 27001

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

Zwayam

Stands out: Recruiters search and import Naukri Resdex profiles without leaving Zwayam, and jobs post in one click to Naukri, LinkedIn, hirist, iimjobs and Indeed. Its AI places screening calls and runs a first-round interview with feedback summaries.

Watch out: Much of the value depends on hiring through Naukri and other Indian boards such as iimjobs and hirist, so teams hiring mainly outside India gain less. Pricing is demo-only, and the Capterra rating rests on 13 reviews.

Not the right fit for

  • Staffing agencies needing a client CRM
  • Teams hiring mainly outside India
  • Buyers wanting a published price

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

Zwayam

  • Naukri Resdex search inside the ATS
  • AI screening calls and first interviews
  • Rated 4.5 on Capterra across 13 reviews
  • No public price, demo required
  • Built around Indian job boards
  • Enterprise employer focus, not for agencies
