The short answer

n8n : Open-source workflow automation with AI agents, a free plan and self-hosting, if you want more control and less metering. From €20/mo
Tasklet : Plain-English AI agents that run workflows across your tools from $25/mo, simpler to set up for non-builders. From $25/mo
Jaicob : No-code AI recruiting agents built on its own ATS and CRM, so sourcing and screening agents come ready made. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Relevance AI

It is a builder, so someone has to design and test the agents; there are no ready-made recruiting workflows. Usage is metered in Actions, so busy agents can need top-ups at $80 per 1,000, and the free plan has been retired.

What we noted

You build and maintain the agents yourself
Actions are metered and plan Actions reset at renewal
Free plan retired, and calling agents need the $234/mo Team plan

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who want a ready-made sourcing or screening tool
Small teams with no one to build and maintain agents

Worth keeping in mind: Model costs are passed through at wholesale as Vendor Credits that roll over while you stay subscribed, and you can bring your own API keys to skip them. It also runs its own MCP server, so agents can be built and managed from Claude or Cursor.

What each one does differently

n8n

€20/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Open-source workflow automation with AI agents, a free plan and self-hosting, if you want more control and less metering.

Stands out: Billing counts full workflow executions, not individual steps, and the Community edition is free to self-host.

Watch out: Cloud prices are published in euros only. The Cloud trial is capped at 1,000 executions, and unused AI Assistant credits do not roll over.

Best for

Technical teams that want to self-host for free
Builders who prefer per-execution billing
Teams that want to drive workflows from Claude via MCP

Tasklet

$25/mo

Why it comes up: Plain-English AI agents that run workflows across your tools from $25/mo, simpler to set up for non-builders.

Stands out: Tasklet bills the organization, not the seat, so a whole team can share agents, tool connections and memory from one credit pool. Agents fall back to a real web browser for portals and older sites that have no API.

Watch out: There is no free plan or free trial; you pay before the first run. Credit cost per task depends on the model, context and tools in play, and monthly credits do not roll over. GDPR compliance is still listed as in progress.

Best for

Small teams that want agents on email, CRM and reporting without a developer
Recruiting and sales desks automating lead research and CRM enrichment
Companies that want one AI budget instead of per-seat licences

Jaicob

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: No-code AI recruiting agents built on its own ATS and CRM, so sourcing and screening agents come ready made.

Stands out: The agents are built by the recruiter rather than fixed features: a drag-and-drop builder with conditions and branches, versioning and duplication, plus a per-agent report of output, reply rates and hires. Around them sits a full system with a job multiposter, career page builder, video interviews and feedback collection, and a public REST API for applications, candidates, vacancies, clients and leads.

Watch out: No public pricing and no self-serve trial, so cost is unknown until a sales call. The 5/5 G2 and Capterra badges on its homepage give no review counts, and moving your ATS and CRM to a smaller vendor is a bigger step than adding a single AI tool.

Best for

Agencies that want sourcing, follow-up and screening to run without manual steps
Recruiting teams replacing several standalone AI tools with one system
Teams that want to design their own automation rules rather than use fixed workflows
