Where they pull apart

Nova Recruiter

Stands out: MCP is on Starter, so you can run searches and outreach from Claude or ChatGPT without a Growth bill.

Watch out: Prices are in euros, with VAT extra. One credit is one candidate contacted or exported, and Free is 2 searches a month.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need a USD price
In-house TA teams that will not manage credits

Umamy

Stands out: Flat per-role price with no success fee, plus a €1,499 White Glove shortlist if you would rather not run the agents.
