Vela vs VoiBo

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Vela

£299/mo

Vela is a young UK company selling AI agents to staffing and recruitment firms that work inside their existing CRM. It cleans contact data first, then runs client business development, long-term nurture and candidate screening from the database you already own. Core starts at £299/month (£239 billed annually) and Sift candidate screening at £1,500/month, in GBP only.

Where Vela fits

  • UK staffing agencies with a large, stale CRM
  • Agencies that want client BD and nurture running without consultant time
  • Firms on JobAdder, Salesforce, Firefish or Bullhorn
  • Agencies that want candidate shortlists built from their own database

VoiBo

Quote-based

VoiBo is a UK built set of four AI voice agents for recruitment agencies: one calls new applicants within about 30 seconds, one calls through databases and sourced lists, one re-engages dormant candidates and one answers inbound calls. Results go into the agency CRM as structured summaries. It suits agencies with high application volume or a large, underused database. Prices are quoted after a demo.

Where VoiBo fits

  • Staffing agencies flooded with job board applications
  • Agencies with large dormant candidate databases
  • Healthcare, construction and shift-based staffing desks
  • Multilingual or international recruitment teams

Where they pull apart

Vela

Stands out: It insists on fixing CRM data before any outreach runs, and its agents share that data so Scout and Pulse skip records Core flags as stale. Sift builds UK Right to Work checks into the AI qualification interview and writes the outcome to the candidate record.

Watch out: Vela launched in May 2026 and says itself it is a young company; the performance figures on its pages are labelled as illustrative, not customer results. Pricing is GBP only, Sift is built for UK agencies, and live integrations are limited to a few CRMs such as JobAdder, Salesforce and Firefish.

Not the right fit for

  • US agencies that need USD billing and US Right to Work checks
  • Firms on a CRM Vela does not yet integrate with

VoiBo

Stands out: It was built by a recruiter who ran an agency for 17 years, and the agents map to agency jobs rather than generic screening, including a Message Taker for payroll and timesheet calls. Screening runs in 12+ languages with summaries in yours, and the Resourcer can place up to 100 calls at once.

Watch out: No prices are published, so you need a demo to get a number. Clients and case studies are UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific agencies, so US references are thin, and there is no public API.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house corporate teams wanting a self-serve tool with listed prices
  • Teams that need an open API to build their own workflows
