The short answer

  • Spinify : Spinify has a native Bullhorn integration and a 5-user minimum against Plecto's 10 licenses. From Sales-quoted
  • Geckoboard : Geckoboard prices by dashboard and screen rather than per person, which suits a dashboard-only setup with many viewers. From $79/mo
  • SalesScreen : SalesScreen adds missions, XP and Scout AI pace alerts, and runs its own MCP server. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Plecto

The 10-license minimum makes the entry cost at least $240/month billed annually, and contests, the reward store and reports need the Large plan. Bullhorn, Vincere and JobAdder are not on the integrations list, so agencies on those ATSs would push data through the REST API, a SQL database or Zapier.

What we noted

  • 10-license minimum on paid plans
  • Contests, reward store and reports need the Large plan
  • No Bullhorn, Vincere or JobAdder connector listed

Not the right fit for

  • Teams under 10 people
  • Bullhorn shops wanting a native connector

Worth keeping in mind: Dashboards, data sources and TV screens are unlimited on every plan, so you pay only per tracked person. It has a recruiting industry page with customer quotes from emploio and Bewerberboost, and it lists Recruit CRM and Recruitee connectors among more than 150 integrations.

What each one does differently

Spinify

Sales-quoted Free trial API

Why it comes up: Spinify has a native Bullhorn integration and a 5-user minimum against Plecto's 10 licenses.

Stands out: Spinify has a dedicated Bullhorn integration that brings job orders, submissions, placements, commissions and revenue into contests such as Fastest Placement and Most Candidate Submissions. Every plan includes unlimited TV displays, all integrations and the Sidekick and Recognition AI agents.

Watch out: The Business plan needs at least 5 billable users, and the pricing page does not give the length of the free trial. Confirm whether the Coaching AI agent is part of your plan, since some Spinify plans sell it as an add-on.

Best for

  • Bullhorn recruiting agencies
  • JobAdder staffing firms
  • Placement and submission contests

Geckoboard

$79/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Geckoboard prices by dashboard and screen rather than per person, which suits a dashboard-only setup with many viewers.

Stands out: Geckoboard runs its own Metrics MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can query live dashboard metrics, and it is included on every plan with no usage charge. Viewers are unlimited on all plans, so only editors and screens add cost.

Watch out: Geckoboard has no Bullhorn or other ATS connector on its data sources page, so recruiting agencies have to route ATS data through Google Sheets, a SQL database, Zapier or the Datasets API. Geckoboard's pricing page shows only annual prices, and Essentials caps you at 2 dashboards and 1 screen before add-on fees.

Best for

  • Office TV KPI dashboards
  • Teams already using HubSpot or Salesforce
  • Dialer metrics from Aircall or Dialpad

SalesScreen

Sales-quoted 30 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: SalesScreen adds missions, XP and Scout AI pace alerts, and runs its own MCP server.

Stands out: SalesScreen runs its own MCP server so you can query Scout AI performance data and set up competitions or ramp missions from inside Claude or ChatGPT. It also has a dedicated recruitment page that names recruitment firms such as EC1 Partners, Forward Role and Vallum Associates as customers.

Watch out: There is no Bullhorn or other recruiting ATS connector on its integrations page, so agency activity data has to come through the API or Zapier. Scale and Pro carry 10 and 15 user minimums, and the pricing page shows no actual per-user price for any plan.

Best for

  • Recruitment agencies with a floor TV
  • Activity-based KPI competitions
  • Ramping new consultants with missions
