The short answer

HeroHunt : AI sourcing agent aimed squarely at recruiting, with its own candidate database and LinkedIn outreach, if you do not want an agent that also works your inbox and calendar. From $99/mo
Juicebox : Natural-language candidate search with a published $99/mo entry price, focused on finding people rather than running the outreach and follow-up after them. From $99/mo
Gem : Sourcing, recruiting CRM and sequences in one shared system when the team needs a common pipeline and reporting rather than a personal agent. From $130/mo

Why people look past xhuman

The product is in private beta. The vendor no longer publishes plan prices: you start free after a review, and any paid plan is offered inside the chat, so you cannot budget from a public rate card. Companies book a call with the founder. The vendor describes SOC 2 as a programme on its Trust Center rather than a finished report.

What we noted

Private beta, and free access starts only after a review
Credits do not roll over and reset on the calendar month, not the billing date
No published plan prices; paid plans are offered in the chat

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need a shared pipeline, ownership rules and team reporting
Buyers who want a published per-seat price before they sign up
Anyone who needs a completed SOC 2 report and general availability today

Worth keeping in mind: Every match opens to show why it matched, tracing each criterion back to the talk, post or profile the claim came from, and saying so when the evidence is not strong enough rather than filling the gap. It also reads your own side: connect a mailbox and your LinkedIn network and it can tell you who you already know inside a target account, which a database-first sourcing tool cannot do.

HeroHunt

Outbound talent teams without a large sourcer bench
Desks that want MCP on a recruiting agent
Natural-language search plus send in one product

Gem

$130/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Sourcing, recruiting CRM and sequences in one shared system when the team needs a common pipeline and reporting rather than a personal agent.

Best for

Mid-market talent teams already on Greenhouse or Ashby
Sourcing desks that need sequences in the CRM
Teams re-engaging past applicants
