Pin vs TaaSFlow

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

Starting price

Pin

$99/mo Free tier Free trial

Suits recruiter desks that want an agent to source and send first-touch on open reqs. Pin sits beside your ATS, not in it. Paid seats start at $99/user/mo billed annually.

Where Pin fits

  • In-house TA running several open reqs
  • Agencies that want agent loops per client
  • Desks that already have an ATS of record
  • Teams connecting Claude or ChatGPT via MCP

TaaSFlow

$699/role

TaaSFlow sells managed shortlists rather than seats: agents source and score candidates against a rubric you approve, and a recruiter signs off each one before it reaches you. It costs $699 to trial one role, then a flat $8,000 for up to 10 positions, with no percentage-of-salary fee. It fits companies that use contingency agencies today and want to pay per package instead of per hire.

Where TaaSFlow fits

  • Companies paying 20 to 25% contingency fees that want a flat package price
  • Founders and lean teams hiring several roles at once without an internal recruiter
  • Hiring managers who want written evidence behind every shortlisted candidate

Where they pull apart

Pin

Stands out: Hosted MCP plus an agent that sources and sequences against the req.

Watch out: ATS export is an add-on, not part of the base seat.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need Pin to be the ATS
  • Buyers who only want a contact finder

TaaSFlow

Stands out: Every score is traced to a quoted line from the candidate's CV for each requirement, and the gaps are listed as interview questions. Sourcing cannot start until you approve the rubric, no candidate is shown until a recruiter approves them, and a read-only MCP connector lets Claude or ChatGPT query your shortlists.

Watch out: TaaSFlow lists no ATS connector, so candidates do not sync to an existing ATS; job board distribution and outside data enrichment are also marked not available yet. Candidate records are kept for 3 months on standard packages, and the pilot is limited to one role per company.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need two-way sync with an existing ATS
  • Recruiters who want a self-serve sourcing database to search themselves
  • Companies hiring one role a year after the pilot

TaaSFlow

$699/role

TaaSFlow charges flat package fees by number of open positions, never a percentage of salary or a per-hire fee. The Pilot is $699, billed once, for one position, and each company can run it only once. Packages are one-time fees: up to 10 positions $8,000, up to 20 $15,200, up to 30 $21,600, up to 40 $27,200 and up to 100 $64,000. More than 100 positions is quoted.

Every package includes the full agent layer, a ranked top-10 shortlist per role refreshed weekly, and expert review. Workspace seats rise from 2 on the Pilot to 11 at up to 30 positions, and candidate records are kept for 3 months. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
