Pin vs Weekday

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

Weekday

Quote-based

Weekday is a YC W21 AI sourcing agent that searches 300M+ profiles across the US and India and chases replies by email, WhatsApp and phone. The Subscription is quote-based with no free trial, and a Contingency option costs 15% of annual salary per hire. It fits tech teams hiring engineers, especially in India, who want outreach done for them.

Where Weekday fits

  • Startups hiring engineers in India
  • US teams recruiting India-based or remote tech talent
  • Teams that want WhatsApp and phone follow-up handled

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

Weekday

Stands out: Weekday adds human follow-up to AI outreach: its team WhatsApps and calls candidates who ignore email, which it credits for a 50%+ response rate. Its database covers roughly 80% of India's white-collar workforce, with filters for early employees at scaled startups and promotion history. Buyers can pick a credit Subscription or a Contingency model at 15% of salary with a 60-day replacement period.

Watch out: Coverage is deepest in India, so US-only teams should test match quality on a demo before committing. Subscription pricing is set on a call and Weekday says it offers no free trial for it. Contingency at 15% of annual salary adds up quickly across several senior hires.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a self-serve free trial
  • US-only hiring outside tech roles
  • Teams needing published per-seat pricing

Weekday

Quote-based

Weekday does not publish a price for its self-serve Subscription. That plan includes 10,000 to 150,000 outreach credits, AI smart filters, and email, WhatsApp and phone follow-ups by Weekday's team, and the price is set on a demo based on hiring volume. Annual discounts are also agreed on a call. Weekday's other model, Contingency, is a done-for-you recruiting service that charges 15% of the hire's annual salary, costs nothing if no hire is made, and includes a 60-day replacement period. Weekday states it offers no free trial on the Subscription. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
