PeopleInsight by HireRoad vs Visier

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

Starting price

Fits mid-sized HR and TA teams on Greenhouse that want ready-made recruiting dashboards and an analyst to build them, without hiring a data person. Pricing starts at $250 per week on the monthly Essentials plan, and Enterprise is quoted on an annual contract.

Where PeopleInsight by HireRoad fits

  • Greenhouse TA teams
  • Mid-sized HR teams without analysts
  • Executive hiring reports
  • Linking hiring and retention data

Visier

Sales-quoted

Visier is the enterprise standard for people analytics: one governed model of the whole workforce, thousands of pre-built metrics, benchmarks against other enterprises, and Vee, an AI agent that answers workforce questions wherever people already work. It is sales-quoted and built for large organisations, so a small team or agency will find it out of reach.

Where Visier fits

  • Enterprise HR and talent leaders who need one trusted picture of headcount, cost and attrition
  • People analytics teams that want to hand routine questions to an agent
  • HR and Finance teams planning headcount and org design from the same numbers
  • IT teams that want AI agents on people data with permissions enforced at the source

Where they pull apart

PeopleInsight by HireRoad

Stands out: Implementation runs in about 5 days after data access, and a dedicated analyst validates the data before it reaches the dashboards. The Greenhouse connector uses the Harvest API to load 25+ TA dashboards, including requisition-level time to fill.

Watch out: The cheapest plan works out to roughly $1,000 a month, covers only one module, and leaves out custom metrics and analyst support. Greenhouse is the only connector named, so confirm your other ATS and HRIS before a demo.

Not the right fit for

  • Agency recruiter TV leaderboards
  • Teams wanting a free or self-serve tool

Visier

Stands out: Vee and the MCP server. Most analytics vendors give you dashboards; Visier gives every leader an agent that answers a workforce question in Slack, Teams or Copilot, and lets your own Claude or ChatGPT agents query the same governed data over MCP with each person's permissions intact. Sixteen years of benchmark data tell you whether your turnover or time to fill is normal.

Watch out: No public pricing and no free trial: this is a sales-led enterprise purchase, with independent estimates running well into five or six figures a year. It reads your HR systems rather than replacing them, so the value depends on how clean your HRIS and ATS data are, and answers reflect the last data load, not live records.

Not the right fit for

  • Small companies and agencies without an HRIS worth analysing
  • Teams that need recruiting-only reporting an ATS already provides
  • Anyone who needs a published price or a self-serve trial
