Where they pull apart

Spott

Stands out: Public per-user price plus first-party MCP on an agency ATS.

Watch out: Enrichment credits are charged on top of the seat price.

Not the right fit for

In-house TA that needs structured hiring kits
Desks that will not pay enrichment credits on top

Yena

Stands out: Plain-language search that writes back to the ATS, plus MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Copilot.

Watch out: Contact reveal is credit-metered on top of the seat, and this is an ATS rather than a Chrome finder.

Not the right fit for

US SMB teams that only need a cheap ATS
Buyers who want a Chrome extension as the product
