$99/user/mo API
Why it comes up: Staffing ATS if the desk is agency placement work, not Salesforce CRM.
Stands out: Staffing CRM plus a marketplace of more than 300 partners on Core.
Watch out: Only the two small-agency tiers are published. AI, automation and analytics all sit behind a quote.

$20/seat/mo Free tier MCP API
Why it comes up: Self-serve CRM if you want recruiting plus sales without a Salesforce admin.
Stands out: A real free CRM for two users, plus a hosted MCP server at mcp.hubspot.com and a full public API.
Watch out: Professional and Enterprise carry required one-time onboarding fees ($1,500 and $3,500). The free CRM stops at two users.

£85/user/mo API
Why it comes up: Staffing front and back office if placements and timesheets are the job.
Stands out: An agency CRM with a published per-user starting price and desk automation.
Watch out: Priced in pounds only, Pro above 7 users is quoted, and there is no MCP.

Quote-based API
Why it comes up: Staffing ATS with VMS connections if Salesforce is more CRM than you need.
Stands out: Vendor management and timesheets on a staffing ATS rather than a corporate tracker.
Watch out: The interface is not the selling point, and there is no published price.
