The short answer

  • SeekOut : Broader talent graph with a $149/mo public entry. Less GitHub-native than Prog.ai. From $149/mo
  • hireEZ : Outbound sourcing database across functions, not a code-contribution graph. From $494/mo
  • AmazingHiring : Tech sourcing extension, sales-quoted. Similar browser overlay, different graph. From Sales-quoted
  • LinkedIn Recruiter : LinkedIn's own seat. Strong where engineers keep profiles, weak where they do not. From Quote-based

Why people look past Prog.ai

The vendor does not publish a self-serve plan table on getprog.ai. Contact and bulk-list access sit behind a sales conversation. This is software-engineer sourcing, not a general talent graph.

What we noted

  • Full platform is sales-quoted. No homepage plan table
  • Engineer-only graph
  • Native outreach connectors to sequencers are still rolling out

Not the right fit for

  • Non-engineering recruiting
  • Buyers who need a published monthly SKU before a demo

Worth keeping in mind: Likely-to-Move and skill scores come from actual code, not self-reported LinkedIn bullets. The Chrome extension (updated June 2026) overlays those insights on LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Kaggle.

What each one does differently

SeekOut

$149/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Broader talent graph with a $149/mo public entry. Less GitHub-native than Prog.ai.

Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.

Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.

Best for

  • Corporate talent teams on hard-to-find roles
  • Diversity-focused search teams
  • Organisations that want internal mobility next to external search

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Outbound sourcing database across functions, not a code-contribution graph.

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Best for

  • Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
  • Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
  • Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial

AmazingHiring

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Tech sourcing extension, sales-quoted. Similar browser overlay, different graph.

Stands out: Chrome-first sourcing aimed specifically at engineering and product profiles.

Watch out: No published price, no API and no MCP.

Best for

  • Tech recruiters sourcing engineers
  • Desks that live in the browser on GitHub and LinkedIn
  • Agencies hiring software talent

LinkedIn Recruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: LinkedIn's own seat. Strong where engineers keep profiles, weak where they do not.

Stands out: It is the graph every other sourcing tool enriches from.

Watch out: It is supply, not a system of record, so you still need an ATS.

Best for

  • Almost every in-house talent team
  • Agency desks running InMail projects
  • Sourcers who work the graph daily
