Vincere Pricing 2026: Seat Price Plus Smart Packs Explained

How much does Vincere cost in 2026?

The Vincere pricing page splits the bill into two parts. The first part is the CRM and ATS licence, which starts at £69 per user per month. The second part is an optional AI layer called a Smart Pack, which starts at £25 per agency per month and runs to £349 per agency per month for the full suite. All prices are in GBP and exclude VAT unless your quote says otherwise.

Vincere’s Australian site takes a different line. The Access Group AU page shows no AUD figures at all. It describes bespoke pricing made of a licence fee per user per month, an implementation fee and a Customer Success Plan, and asks you to request a quote. Australian buyers should not assume the UK figures apply.

What does each Vincere Smart Pack include?

Every Vincere Smart Pack is built on the same core: candidate scoring, the job description and ad creator, Copilot AI, Feeds, Evo Docs, Base Analytics, Spaces, Mobile, Applause, Learning and Engage. The higher packs add AI features for candidate presentation, business development and automation, according to the Vincere pricing page.

The Vincere pack lineup has one quirk worth noticing. Candidate Speccing appears in Present and Elite but not in Automate, so an agency that wants speccing plus CRM automation has to buy Elite rather than Automate.

What would Vincere cost a 3, 10 or 25 seat agency?

The Vincere totals below use only the listed “from” prices: seats multiplied by £69, plus one Smart Pack fee per agency. They leave out implementation, support, VAT, TimeTemp and any volume discount, so treat them as a floor, not a quote. The pricing page does not say whether a Smart Pack is compulsory, so a licence only line is included.

Vincere’s minimum term is 12 months, so the annual commitment is the monthly figure times 12. On that basis the listed floor for a 3 seat agency on Base is £232 × 12 = £2,784 a year, a 10 seat agency on Automate is £925 × 12 = £11,100 a year, and a 25 seat agency on Elite is £2,074 × 12 = £24,888 a year.

Why does Vincere get cheaper per head as you grow?

Vincere charges the Smart Pack once per agency, so its cost is spread across more people as headcount rises. With Elite, the effective price is £556 ÷ 3 = about £185 per user per month at 3 seats, £1,039 ÷ 10 = about £104 at 10 seats, and £2,074 ÷ 25 = about £83 at 25 seats. A solo recruiter on Elite pays £69 + £349 = £418 a month, which is why the AI packs make more sense for teams than for one person desks.

Can you move money between seats and Smart Packs?

Vincere calls this Smart Move. The pricing page FAQ says you commit to an annual spend, then can move that spend between CRM licences and Smart Pack usage without raising the total. Vincere frames it as “reallocating” rather than upgrading, which helps if your headcount drops but you still want the AI features. Billing is on a 1 year contract, or a 2 or 3 year term for a lower rate.

What do Vincere’s back office modules add for contract and temp desks?

Vincere’s back office sits in a module called TimeTemp. The TimeTemp product page describes online timesheets, expenses, leave requests, shift scheduling and invoicing, all connected to the CRM so that when you place a contractor, their details and pay rules flow into TimeTemp without double entry. Timesheet data exports to payroll systems such as Xero, MYOB and Astute through a built in export scheduler.

Vincere’s TimeTemp pricing is not on the Smart Pack page. The TimeTemp FAQ says pricing “is customised based on your agency’s needs”, so budget for it as a separate line item. The Australian pricing page, however, lists a “natively built scheduler” for single to high volume shifts among the things Vincere does not charge extra for, together with dashboards, a CV builder, a client portal and monthly CV parsing credits.

For a temp desk, Vincere’s value is in removing the gap between the booking and the invoice. The healthcare staffing page describes built in pay rules, overtime averaging, auto generated invoices and a worker portal for compliance documents. The same page points agencies that need full payroll to Access FastTrack360, a separate Access Group pay and bill product, so ask which one your quote covers.

Does a perm only agency need TimeTemp?

A perm only agency can skip Vincere’s TimeTemp entirely. The CRM licence and a Smart Pack cover sourcing, pipelines and placements. TimeTemp only pays for itself once you have contractors or temps submitting hours every week.

How does Vincere pricing compare with Recruit CRM, Bullhorn, JobAdder and Loxo?

Vincere is one of the few agency platforms that publishes a UK seat price. The US vendors quote in dollars, and JobAdder publishes no price at all. The figures below are not converted, so compare like with like at your own exchange rate.

Recruit CRM prices in US dollars. The Recruit CRM pricing page lists Pro at $95, Business at $135 and Enterprise at $215 per user per month on annual billing as of September 2026, or $109, $159 and $259 on monthly billing. Our Recruit CRM pricing guide and the Recruit CRM vs Vincere comparison go further.

Bullhorn is the closest match to Vincere on back office depth. The Bullhorn pricing page lists Starter at $99 and Core at $165 per user per month, and puts timesheets, time interpretation and pay and bill automation into Middle Office or the Bullhorn One bundle, both quoted. See our Bullhorn pricing breakdown.

JobAdder sells by quote only. The JobAdder pricing page ties plans to team size: Lite for 1 to 5 users, Essential for 6 to 20 and Pro for 21 or more, with temp and contractor management included from Lite. Our JobAdder pricing guide covers what agencies report paying.

Loxo lists Core at $149 and Professional at $199 per user per month, billed annually, on the Loxo pricing page. Loxo leans toward sourcing and outreach rather than temp payroll. More detail sits in our Loxo pricing post.

What do recruiters on Reddit ask about Vincere?

Is Vincere worth the cost for a 10 person temp and perm agency?

That exact question came up in an r/Recruitment Vincere thread. Replies were mostly negative about ease of use and about support since the Access Group takeover. One commenter thought Vincere came in cheaper than Bullhorn, and another said a temp agency moved back to its old system after switching. On price alone, the listed floor for 10 seats is £690 to £1,039 a month before TimeTemp.

Should a small agency choose Recruit CRM or Vincere?

In a 2026 Recruit CRM vs Vincere thread, most replies favoured Recruit CRM for small teams, calling it cheaper and quicker to adopt. The more balanced answers said Vincere suits process heavy, multi office agencies that will configure its reporting. One long time customer said a good per user rate and the cost of migrating kept them on Vincere despite support complaints.

Can I get out of a Vincere contract or cut seats?

Contract terms are the most common Vincere warning on Reddit. In an r/recruiting warning post from 2023, an agency owner said a seat reduction was not processed and the contract auto renewed for a year because notice was not given 60 days ahead. Today Vincere states a 12 month minimum term, so read the renewal, notice and seat reduction clauses before signing.

Does Vincere work for a large group with temp and perm desks?

A 2026 thread on CRMs from a director moving about 100 users onto one system drew mixed replies. A vendor side commenter named Bullhorn for temp heavy operations and Vincere for combined temp and perm, while several recruiters said to avoid Access Group products. The practical advice was to demo natural language search against a copy of your own data.
