$49/mo Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: AI SMB ATS from $49/mo if you want scoring without a $249 coach bundle.
Stands out: Public $49 Start plan plus a first-party MCP, which most SMB ATS tools still do not ship.
Watch out: Monthly Start is $99. AI credits are tiered (100 on Start). Do not budget the annual $49 as unlimited AI and unlimited jobs.
Best for
- Small in-house teams that want AI scoring in the ATS
- Buyers who need a first-party MCP
- Teams posting to Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter from one login

Why it comes up: SMB ATS with a wider install base if you do not need Wizehire's coach model.
Stands out: Simple job posting, scorecards and self-scheduling for small hiring teams.
Watch out: Billed annually rather than monthly, and job posting volume is capped on the entry plan.
Best for
- Small businesses buying a first ATS
- Teams that need scorecards without enterprise process
- Hiring managers who want self-scheduling links

Why it comes up: Cheaper visual ATS if job-board blasting matters more than a human coach.
Stands out: A kanban pipeline plus a sourcing extension, built for small hiring teams.
Watch out: No MCP, and it is not built for enterprise hiring processes.
Best for
- Small hiring teams that want a visual pipeline
- A first ATS after a spreadsheet
- Desks that source in the browser

Free ATS, paid sourcing Free tier API
Why it comes up: Free startup ATS if $249/mo is not the budget.
Stands out: A real free tier rather than a countdown trial, with job distribution included.
Watch out: Sourcing is sold separately, and there is no MCP.
Best for
- Early-stage startups
- Teams that need a free tracker today
- Founders posting a handful of roles
