The short answer
- Best for
- Small teams and agencies that want a self-serve ATS with AI search and a genuine free tier to start on
- Not ideal for
- Larger teams needing enterprise governance or an unverified integration/job-board catalogue confirmed in advance
- Price
- Free (1 user); paid tiers EUR 20 to 75/month
- Closest alternative
- 100HiresWhen unlimited candidates and users on a flat second tier matter more than a genuinely free entry plan with capped AI searches and candidate storage

Why these assessments
- Recruitment fitStrong
- Job and candidate tracking, CV parsing and AI search are the whole product, built as a system of record for recruiting. Candidate communication is not part of it today: channel integration is in development.
- Ease of useUnknown
- The vendor positions self-serve, lightweight onboarding, but SourcrLab has not run the product hands-on to confirm that in practice.
- ImplementationStrong
- A free tier with no card required and a self-serve, lightweight positioning point to a lower implementation burden than an enterprise ATS suite.
- Price transparencyStrong
- Four tiers, from free to EUR 75 per month, publish exact user, candidate and AI-search limits on the pricing page, which is unusually granular for this category.
- Value for moneyUnknown
- The price points are low and the limits are public, but SourcrLab has not used the product to judge whether the AI search and parsing hold up at those candidate volumes.
- ScalabilityStrong
- Published tiers scale from one user, 100 candidates and 15 AI searches on Free to 10 users, 10,000 candidates and 500 AI searches on Business, a clear published upgrade path.

The SourcrLab bottom line
Adeptiq's clearest strength is a pricing table a buyer can actually plan against: a real free tier, then EUR 20 to 75 a month with published user, candidate and AI-search caps. What still needs direct confirmation is the integration and job-board breadth, which the reviewed material does not spell out in full.
Best fit
A small recruitment team or agency, particularly in Belgium or Europe, that wants a self-serve ATS with AI CV parsing and search and a real free tier to start on before committing budget.
Think twice if
As the candidate database and AI-search usage grow, the plan caps become the real constraint, and buyers should model their own volume against the published limits rather than the headline price alone.
SourcrLab assessment
Everything on this page comes from the vendor's own pages, checked on the dates below. SourcrLab has not used this product in real recruitment work, so you will not find a first-hand opinion here.
Why choose Adeptiq?
A real free tier, not a trial
The Free plan is explicitly presented as free forever with no credit card required, giving one user unlimited jobs, 100 candidates and 15 AI searches to test the product before paying anything.
Pricing a buyer can plan against
Basic, Plus and Business publish exact user counts, candidate caps and AI-search limits at EUR 20, 55 and 75 per month, so the upgrade trigger is a known number rather than a sales conversation.
Search, tracking and communication in one place
AI CV parsing and natural-language candidate search sit alongside job and candidate tracking, so a small team is not assembling those from separate tools. Communication still happens in your own inbox: channel integration is announced but not yet included.
Main trade-offs
Plan caps bite as the database grows
The Free and Basic tiers cap candidates and AI searches at levels that a busy desk can reach quickly, so the real cost of using the product fully is the next tier up, not the headline free or EUR 20 price.
Integration and job-board breadth is unconfirmed
The reviewed material does not spell out the full integration or job-board catalogue, so a buyer who needs a specific board or a particular downstream tool should confirm support before switching over.
GDPR/data claims are vendor-stated
Adeptiq states EU data residency and GDPR-by-design, with a DPA available; SourcrLab treats these as first-party claims from the vendor's own terms rather than independent certification.

Adeptiq vs alternatives
Products a buyer would genuinely put next to this one, with the reason you would pick each instead.
A better fit when unlimited candidates and users on a flat second-tier price matter more than a genuinely free entry plan with capped AI searches.
