What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: A US-employer HRIS that often doubles as the first light ATS.

$49/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: US SMB payroll and HR with a public start, MCP and API.
Stands out: Payroll sitting next to HR for US small companies, with a first-party MCP.
Watch out: It is US-only, so it is not a route to hiring people in other countries.
Best for
$250/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: SMB HRIS that often is the first ATS, with a public small-company rate.
Stands out: HRIS plus a light applicant tracker and onboarding in one small-business login.
Watch out: The $250 figure is the small-company flat rate, not a per-employee price. Bills scale with headcount above that.
Best for
Sales-quoted MCP API
Why it comes up: Mid-market people platform with MCP if interface and global HR matter more.
Stands out: A modern HRIS with MCP and an API, built to be used by managers, not just HR admins.
Watch out: No public price, and it is HR software rather than a sourcing tool.
Best for
Sales-quoted MCP API
Why it comes up: Quote-based HRIS plus IT and finance if you want a broader system.
Stands out: Payroll, IT device management and hiring on a single mid-market bill.
Watch out: Recruiting is one module of a much larger platform, not the product itself.
