Profiles Database vs RecruitPhysician

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

Starting price

Profiles Database

Sales-quoted

Physician recruiting database built around residents, fellows and graduating physicians, gathered by an in-house team that speaks to them directly, with extra lead files for experienced physicians, advanced practitioners and 4.8 million healthcare providers. Pricing is quoted, by profession or as a full subscription. Best for recruiters who hire new graduates and want state-tie data to find the ones likely to move to their area.

Where Profiles Database fits

  • Physician recruiters hiring residents and fellows coming out of training
  • Hard-to-fill or rural locations that recruit on home-state and spouse ties
  • Teams that run email and direct-mail campaigns to physicians
  • Recruiters who also need NP, PA, nurse and allied health leads

Self-serve physician contact database of 250,000+ profiles verified against NPI registries, hospital affiliations and public records, with unlimited search and contact reveals from $199/mo. Pro at $299/mo adds phone numbers, bigger exports and a monthly sourcing request. Best for in-house physician recruiters who run their own email outreach and want a flat monthly price, not a job board.

Where RecruitPhysician fits

  • In-house physician recruiters running their own email campaigns
  • Small teams wanting a flat monthly price with no per-contact fees
  • Recruiters targeting physicians by hospital affiliation
  • Agencies that want an occasional done-for-you sourcing list

Where they pull apart

Profiles Database

Stands out: It concentrates on the graduating class: recruiters can pull entire classes of residents and fellows by specialty and training program, then filter by ties to a state through home, training location, practice preference or spouse. That is the sort that matters most when a rural or hard-to-fill location is recruiting new physicians. Data comes from its own sourcing staff near St. Louis, not third-party or offshore vendors.

Watch out: It is owned by PracticeMatch, so a team already buying PracticeMatch databases should check for overlap before adding it. Pricing is not published. The 4.8 million healthcare provider file is a broad lead list across 70 professions, a different product from the interviewed resident data, and the vendor documents no ATS integrations or API.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-healthcare recruiting
  • Teams already paying for PracticeMatch databases with overlapping coverage
  • Buyers wanting published self-serve pricing

RecruitPhysician

Stands out: Pricing is flat and published with no per-contact charges: unlimited search and reveals on both plans, cancel monthly any time. Data is checked against NPI registries, hospital affiliations and public records, and the vendor claims 98% email accuracy. Pro includes one done-for-you sourcing request a month with a 2-3 day turnaround.

Watch out: Phone numbers are Pro only, and Essentials caps exports at 250 contacts at a time. It covers physicians only, not APPs or nurses, and the vendor does not describe ATS or CRM integrations, so outreach runs from exported lists. The accuracy figure is the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • Nurse, APP or allied health sourcing
  • Teams wanting phone numbers on the cheapest plan
  • Recruiters who need a CRM or ATS integration
