There is no self-serve rate card. The fee is a contingency cut, not a SaaS seat.

$130/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Sourcing CRM if you want software seats, not a placement fee.
Stands out: CRM and outreach layered onto the ATS you already have, with a hosted MCP.
Watch out: Pricing scales with company headcount, and anything past a small team is quoted.
Best for
$99/mo Free tier Free trial MCP
Why it comes up: AI sourcing seat from $99/mo if a 25% placement fee is too high.
Stands out: Natural-language search plus a Chrome extension and 50+ ATS connectors.
Watch out: The Agents add-on costs extra on top of the seat price.
Best for
$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Talent search if your team will run the outreach itself.
Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.
Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.
Best for
Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: Sourcing product if you want AI search without a marketplace.
Stands out: Operator-led recruiters plus an internal AI sourcing model, sold as a service, not a self-serve login.
Watch out: This is an agency, not recruiting software. Contingency still takes a retainer. You pay a percent of first-year pay.
