Metaview Pricing 2026: What Every Agent Costs, and 10 Alternatives

What does Metaview cost at a glance?

Metaview costs between $0 and $300 per user per month for its self serve agents, and most teams that use two agents land between $160 and $360 per recruiter per month before contact credits. The table pulls every public price into one place, as listed on the Metaview pricing page and its help center in late September and early October 2026.

Every paid seat is billed month to month by card with no long term commitment, according to the Metaview subscriptions help page. The Metaview listing on Work Insiders tracks the same plans.

What is Metaview in 2026?

Metaview is a London and San Francisco company that started as an AI interview note taker and now calls itself an agentic recruiting platform. Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, formerly of Uber and Palantir, founded it in 2018, and it has captured more than 6 million interviews, according to The Next Web.

On September 30, 2026, Metaview announced a $60 million Series C led by Insight Partners, bringing total funding to $110 million. The Series C post says more than 7,000 companies hire with Metaview, that fillmore is now available, that a dedicated AI screening agent is in the works, and that headcount will grow from 80 to 250 by the end of 2027 with a new New York office.

Growth that fast matters for buyers in a practical way. In June 2025 Metaview sold four products built around interview notes, per its Series B post. Fifteen months later it sells sourcing, outreach, application review, screening and an autonomous recruiter, and the price list has been rebuilt more than once along the way.

What are Metaview’s agents and what does each one do?

How much is Metaview Notetaker, and is the free plan enough?

Metaview Notetaker Pro costs $60 per user per month for unlimited calls and priority processing. The free plan covers 25 calls per user each month, but the subscriptions help page adds two limits most buyers miss: all free users in one company share a ceiling of 60 conversations a month, and free users can only open conversations from the last 14 days.

In practice that means the free plan works for one recruiter running about one screen a day. A team of three free users hits the shared 60 conversation ceiling long before each person reaches 25.

Why pay six times more than Otter or Fireflies?

You pay for the recruiting structure. Metaview writes notes against your interview template, fills scorecards and posts them into the candidate record in your ATS, and it claims integrations with 47 applicant tracking systems including Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday and Bullhorn. Otter and Fireflies give you a transcript and summary at a fraction of the price, but you copy the notes into your ATS yourself. If you run fewer than five screens a week, the cheaper tools usually win. Our note taker pricing study compares 24 of them, and Metaview vs BrightHire covers the closest recruiting rival.

How does Metaview Sourcing pricing work?

Metaview Sourcing has four tiers. Free gives you your first 100 sourced profiles once, and those credits never refresh. Pro costs $100 per user per month for 200 profiles. Max costs $300 per user per month for unlimited profiles. Enterprise is custom. All tiers list unlimited concurrent searches, as shown on the pricing page on October 5, 2026.

Three counting rules change the real cost, according to an AnyGen pricing review that read the Metaview help center. Only completed “agentic matches” use credits, while quick “instant matches” are free to review. Pro credits refresh each calendar month and unused ones do not roll over. Scheduled search reruns on a daily or weekly timer are a Max and Enterprise feature, even though Pro is sold as “proactive, 24/7 candidate search”.

Should I buy Sourcing Pro or Max?

Buy Pro first and watch your usage for one full month. Seats cannot be shared or rotated between people, so a recruiter who needs 250 profiles a month has to jump to Max, and at that volume each profile costs $1.20 instead of $0.50. Max only becomes the cheaper rate for someone sourcing more than 600 profiles a month, which is typical of agency desks and high volume tech hiring, not most in house recruiters.

The 200 profile cap is newer than it looks. Wayback Machine captures cited by Pin’s pricing review show the $100 plan advertising unlimited searches as late as March 6, 2026. By March 11 the same $100 bought 200 profiles, and unlimited sourcing had moved to the new $300 Max tier.

What do Metaview contact credits cost?

Finding a candidate and reaching them are billed separately. Each workspace gets 500 free enrichment credits a month, shared across the whole team. Unlocking an email uses 3 credits and a phone number uses 10, and top ups cost $10 per 100 credits and stay valid for six months, according to the Metaview outreach page and its outreach launch post. You are only charged when Metaview finds a contact you do not already have.

How fast do contact credits run out?

Fast, for any team doing real outbound. Five recruiters on Sourcing Pro who email all 1,000 of their monthly profiles need 3,000 credits. After the shared 500, that is $250 a month in top ups. Add a phone number for every one of those candidates and the top ups reach $1,250 a month, more than the five sourcing seats themselves. If your desk lives on the phone, price contact data before you price seats.

How much does Metaview Application Review cost?

Application Review is free for 50 applications a month. The paid plan starts at $150 a month for 500 reviews with unlimited users, which works out to $0.30 per application. It is priced per workspace, not per seat, so the whole hiring team can use it on one plan.

The card has a volume selector. HeroHunt’s pricing breakdown recorded the higher steps below. We could confirm the 500 review tier directly; treat the rest as reported figures and check the selector before you buy.

The volume discount is small: going from 500 to 100,000 reviews a month cuts the unit price by about 17%. The Application Review credits page adds the operating rules. Unused monthly credits do not roll over, credits are non refundable, and if you run out, active reviews pause until you buy more. When you resume, every unreviewed candidate in that ATS stage is processed at once, including those who applied during the pause.

Is Application Review worth $0.30 an application?

It depends on what your ATS already includes. Metaview’s Application Review page claims 100% of candidates reviewed and a 92% cut in screening time, and it promises never to auto reject anyone. But Ashby includes 1,500 AI credits a month for AI assisted application review on its $400 a month Foundations plan, per the Ashby pricing page. If your ATS bundles AI screening, test that first.

What do Screening, Reports and the full platform cost?

None of the three has a public price. Screening runs on its own credits: each completed screening interview uses one credit when it is assessed, workspaces get free starter credits, and both starter and purchased credits expire, per the Screening credits page. If your balance hits zero mid interview, the candidate can finish but the result waits in an “Awaiting credits” state. High volume or unlimited screening goes to sales.

Reports is described as an add on you include for a flat fee, and the Agentic Recruiting Platform, which bundles every agent and premium feature, is custom priced. That makes Metaview a two speed buyer: cheap and self serve for one agent, quote based once you want all of them.

What is fillmore and what will it cost?

fillmore is Metaview’s autonomous outbound recruiter. You brief it in Slack with a job description or example profiles, and it maps the market, researches each prospect, writes every message from scratch across email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, and books screening calls you approve with one tap. The fillmore product page says it lives entirely in Slack with “no web app, no dashboard, no logins” and that a new search takes about seven minutes to start.

The page offers one line on price: you only pay when you hire. Metaview has not published the fee. The best clue is Reval, the AI native recruiting firm Metaview bought on August 11, 2026 to speed up fillmore. The Reval website still lists its price: from $50 one time to kick off a search, plus 10% of base salary on hire, with a 90 day money back guarantee if the hire leaves or is terminated with cause.

The comparison cuts both ways. Against a 20% to 25% contingency agency, a 10% fee halves the cost of a hire. Against your own recruiter on a $300 Max seat, one fillmore hire at $150,000 costs about four years of that seat. fillmore is cheap for a founder making two or three hires a year and expensive for a team making dozens.

What results has fillmore actually published?

One documented hire so far. In the Series C post, Metaview’s CEO describes 52 candidates sourced, researched and contacted by AI, five screens booked, and the eventual hire going from first sourced to signed offer in 30 days. The company also told The Next Web that some customers cut time to hire by more than 75%. Before the Reval deal, thousands of teams had joined the fillmore waitlist, per the Reval acquisition post. There are no independent reviews of fillmore on G2 or Product Hunt yet.

What should be in a fillmore contract?

• The fee in writing: a percentage, a flat fee per hire, or a cap per role so a senior hire does not cost double.
• What counts as a hire: signed offer or first day worked.
• A guarantee period: Reval offered 90 days; ask for the same or better.
• An attribution rule: what happens if fillmore contacted someone who later applies on their own or comes through a referral.
• A kickoff fee: whether the $50 per search start fee carries over from Reval’s terms.

What does a real Metaview bill look like?

A single recruiter can run Metaview for $100 a month, and a team of five with unlimited sourcing can pass $2,400 a month before any enterprise contract. These four scenarios use list prices only.

What do companies actually pay Metaview?

Less than the scenarios above, on average. SpendHound contract data from 160 Metaview customers puts average spend at $4,065 a year for companies with 50 to 1,000 employees and $6,096 a year for companies with more than 1,000. SpendHound also reports SMB spend rose 27.63% year over year across 33 SMB customers, and says finance teams are pushing back on license costs. Those averages suggest most buyers still run one or two agents, mainly the Notetaker, rather than the full stack.

How has Metaview pricing changed?

Metaview has rebuilt its price list as each new agent shipped. The pattern so far: launch generous, then add caps and a higher tier once usage grows.

Dates for the sourcing cap and the lost annual Notetaker rate come from Wayback Machine captures cited in Pin’s review roundup. The lesson for buyers: lock the price of any agent you rely on for the full term of your contract.

What do users say about Metaview?

Users rate the Notetaker highly, and the reviews say very little about anything else. Metaview holds 4.8 out of 5 from 132 reviews on G2 Metaview reviews, but 130 of those were already there in June 2025, before Sourcing, Outreach or fillmore existed, according to Pin’s comparison of archived G2 pages.

The praise is consistent: recruiters say they listen better because they stop typing, and teams report feedback arriving within minutes of an interview. The complaints cluster in four areas, based on G2’s own tags in a June 2025 snapshot.

On Reddit, one agency recruiter in an r/recruiting thread said Metaview “worked well” in a trial but the firm did not have the budget for the paid version, which is the most common story for small desks. In a second r/recruiting thread comparing Metaview, BrightHire and Otter, replies leaned toward Metaview on nuance and support, with one recruiter suggesting the time savings are clearest at 30 or more screens a week.

Who is responsible for recording consent?

You are. Pin’s reading of Metaview’s Terms of Service quotes the line that the customer is “solely responsible” for notices and consent, even though the privacy page says your compliance responsibilities are covered. About 11 US states require every party to consent to a recording, so set up a consent message before the first interview, whichever note taker you choose.

Who should buy Metaview, and who should not?

What are the best Metaview alternatives?

The right alternative depends on which Metaview agent you are replacing. Most competitors do one job, so compare them agent by agent, not against the whole platform. Prices below are as listed on each vendor’s site in October 2026.

Tool	Replaces	Entry price as listed	Best for
Juicebox	Sourcing	Free plan; Starter $99 per seat per month annual with 500 contact credits; agents $199 each	Search with contact data bundled in
Pin	Sourcing, Outreach	Free plan; Solo $99 per month annual; 1 credit per email or phone	Phone heavy outbound
SeekOut	Sourcing	Recruit Core $149 per month annual, $179 monthly	Hard to find technical and cleared talent
HeroHunt	fillmore, Sourcing	Plans by open positions per month; quote for teams	Fixed cost autonomous outreach

BrightHire	Notetaker, Screening	Quote only; Vendr median about $18,350 a year	Interviewer coaching at scale
Ashby	Notetaker, Application Review	Foundations $400 per month with 1,500 AI credits; Notetaker is a paid add on	Teams choosing a new ATS
Fireflies	Notetaker	Free plan; Pro $10 per seat per month annual	Cheap transcripts and summaries
Otter	Notetaker	Free plan; Pro $8.33 per user per month annual	Cheapest paid transcription

Which alternative replaces Metaview Sourcing?

Juicebox and Pin both bundle contact credits into the seat, which matters because contact data is where Metaview’s bill grows. Juicebox’s Juicebox pricing page lists 500 contact credits on Starter and 1,500 on Growth, and its agents add unlimited contact credits for $199 each. Pin charges one credit for an email or a phone number, against Metaview’s 3 and 10. See every option in our AI sourcing tools category.

Which alternative replaces fillmore?

Pick by how you want to pay. HeroHunt charges by open positions per month, Laidback quotes one flat plan with no hire fee, and fillmore charges per hire. Fixed price wins once you make more than a handful of hires a year; pay on hire wins when hiring is rare. Our list of AI recruiting agents covers more options.

Which alternative replaces the Notetaker?

BrightHire if you want coaching and interview quality analytics, your ATS’s own note taker if it has one, and Otter or Fireflies if a transcript is enough. Compare them all in our AI note takers category and the Metaview alternatives page.

How do you get a better Metaview deal?

Metaview’s self serve prices are fixed, but anything that touches sales is negotiable. These moves come straight from the gaps in the published price list.

• Ask for the annual Notetaker rate. The $50 annual option was on the pricing page in March 2026. Asking for it back saves $120 per seat each year.
• Get every credit in writing. Enrichment allowance, top up price, Screening pack price and Application Review volume should all be numbers in your order form.
• Lock agent prices for the full term. Sourcing went from unlimited at $100 to capped at $100 in one week. Protect yourself from the next re tier.
• Start on Pro, not Max. Run one month on Pro and only upgrade people who genuinely pass 200 profiles.
• Use SpendHound’s averages. Average contracts of $4,065 for SMBs and $6,096 for enterprises are a fair opening anchor for a multi agent quote.
• Bring a competing quote. Price one replacement per agent from the table above before the sales call.
