Where they pull apart

Ringover

Stands out: Dialer plus SMS with Bullhorn named next to HubSpot and Salesforce: agency recruiting actually shows up in the connector list.

Watch out: Engage is $15/user/mo; the $47 rung is the fuller sales/HR suite. Conversational AI, cadence, and CRM autofill are add-ons.

Not the right fit for

People who only need a $9 CRM
Teams that will not SMS candidates
Buyers who need a US-only TextUs inbox

TextUs

Stands out: A real $299 floor for TA texting, with Bullhorn, Workday, Greenhouse, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier named.

Watch out: Pro is $299/mo. WhatsApp is +$29/user (beta). Overage is $0.02/message.

Not the right fit for

Solo operators who need a sub-$299 plan
Teams that will not SMS candidates
People who need a full talent CRM (Sense)
