Agency ATS + sales CRM with published entry pricing and usage-priced add-ons
ResearchedRecruitly
Recruitly is an agency ATS and sales CRM on one database, priced publicly from a free tier through $25, $80 and $120 per user per month — with email, SMS, e-signature, sourcing and AI actions charged as usage on top, which is where the real bill is decided.
The short answer
- Best for
- A solo consultant or small agency that wants business development and placement pipelines on one database without a quote conversation
- Not ideal for
- Large staffing firms needing mature back office and pay-and-bill, or buyers who want a large independent evidence base
- Price
- Free, then $25, $80 or $120 per user / month; 20% off annually; add-ons charged on usage
- Closest alternative
- Recruit CRMThe comparison a growing agency actually faces: also published per-seat pricing with paid add-ons, but a far larger independent review base

Why these assessments
- Recruitment fitStrong
- Built for the agency desk specifically: a business-development pipeline and a placement pipeline on one shared database, with multi-branch support.
- Ease of useUnknown
- No SourcrLab hands-on use. Reviewers on both platforms report ease as a strength, but the combined independent base is still modest.
- ImplementationStrong
- A free tier and a 14-day trial with no credit card mean a solo consultant can evaluate the product properly before committing anything.
- Price transparencyFair
- Every plan carries a public price, which is genuinely rare here — but the usage add-ons mean the plan price is not the bill, and a separate vendor page quotes a different entry figure.
- Value for moneyUnknown
- Not assessed. The plan prices are public but the add-on usage is not predictable from outside, so the total a given agency pays cannot be modelled here.
- ScalabilityFair
- Per-seat plans with multi-branch support scale predictably, but the usage-priced add-ons scale with activity, which is the axis that grows fastest in a busy agency.

The SourcrLab bottom line
Unusually transparent for this category: four public plan prices, a documented annual discount, and add-on rates published rather than quoted. Two cautions travel with it. The vendor's separate sales-CRM page says 'from $50/month', which conflicts with the canonical plan table — the table is what this brief follows and the inconsistency is recorded rather than resolved into a second ladder. And the independent evidence is thin in one place and modest in the other: 4.9 across only seven G2 reviews, against 4.9 across 53 on Capterra. Read the Capterra base; seven reviews is not a market verdict.
Best fit
Solo consultants and growing agencies that want business development and recruitment on one database and can start without a sales conversation. A free tier plus a 14-day trial with no card is a genuinely low-risk way to find out whether the product fits, which is worth more to a small agency than a feature list.
Think twice if
Larger staffing firms needing mature back-office and pay-and-bill functionality, and any buyer who wants a deep independent evidence base before committing. Also budget carefully: the plan price is the entry, and the usage add-ons are where an active desk's costs actually accumulate.
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 Recruitly?
Every plan has a public price, including the top one
Free, Solo at $25, Professional at $80 and Enterprise at $120 per user per month, with 20 percent off on annual billing. Publishing the Enterprise price is the unusual part: most competitors publish two tiers and quote the rest, which is exactly where a growing agency loses the ability to plan.
Business development and placements share a database
A sales pipeline for winning clients and a recruitment pipeline for filling their roles sit on one shared database, with multi-branch support. For an agency, having those in two systems is the standard cause of a client being pitched a candidate the desk already placed elsewhere.
Add-on rates are published, not quoted
Email marketing at $15 per 10,000 emails, SMS at $10 per 1,000, digital signatures at $1 each, sourcing at $0.15 to $0.25 per search or find, AI agent actions at $0.50 to $3, and a dedicated IP at $30 a month. Knowing the unit rates means an agency can model its own usage instead of discovering it on an invoice.
A free tier and a card-free trial
There is a $0 plan, and paid plans carry a 14-day trial with no credit card required. For a solo recruiter deciding whether an integrated ATS and CRM is worth changing their process for, that removes the usual reason not to find out.
Main trade-offs
The vendor's own pages quote two different entry prices
The canonical pricing table says Solo is $25 and Professional is $80. A separate sales-CRM page says 'from $50/month'. Those cannot both describe the current plan structure. This brief follows the canonical table and records the other as an inconsistency rather than inventing a second commercial model to reconcile them.
The plan price is not the bill
Email, SMS, e-signatures, sourcing and AI agent actions are all metered on top of the seat price. An active desk running outbound campaigns and sourcing at volume will pay meaningfully more than the plan suggests, so model your expected usage before comparing $25 against a competitor's all-in seat.
Seven G2 reviews is not a market verdict
G2 showed 4.9 out of 5 across only seven reviews. Capterra's 4.9 across 53 is the more usable base, and even that is modest for a system of record. A perfect score on a tiny sample should raise the priority of your own reference calls, not lower it.
Reach and performance figures are vendor claims
The sourcing add-on's profile-pool size and the job-board count are the vendor's own numbers, and nothing independent corroborates them. Treat them as claims about scale rather than as verified coverage, particularly if sourcing reach is a deciding factor for you.
Back office is not the strength here
Nothing in the material read establishes mature back-office or pay-and-bill functionality. For a permanent-placement agency that is fine; for a contract or temp staffing business it is the gap that decides the purchase, and it should be tested explicitly.
Pricing and buying reality
Free, then from $25 per user / month
- Free: $0 per user / month
- Solo: $25 per user / month
- Professional: $80 per user / month
- Enterprise: $120 per user / month
- Annual billing saves 20 percent
- 14-day free trial on paid plans, no credit card required
- Add-ons on usage: email marketing $15 / 10,000 emails, SMS $10 / 1,000, digital signatures $1 each, sourcing $0.15-$0.25 per search or find, AI agent actions $0.50-$3, dedicated IP $30 / month
- A separate vendor sales-CRM page says 'from $50/month', which conflicts with this table; the canonical plan table is the one carried here
What we do not know
- Why the sales-CRM page states a different entry price from the canonical plan table
- What a typical agency actually spends on the usage add-ons
- What the free tier includes and where its limits sit
- Whether back-office or pay-and-bill functionality exists at all
- The terms and eligibility of the advertised startup discount programme

How it fits your stack
Works with
- Job boards, through the vendor's posting integrations
- Email and SMS outreach, metered through the marketing add-ons
- E-signature workflows, charged per signature
Likely replaces
- A separate sales CRM running next to the recruitment ATS
- A standalone email marketing tool for candidate and client campaigns
May overlap with
- Sourcing and contact-data tools, since sourcing is sold here as a metered add-on
Check before buying
- Which plan table the vendor will contract on, given two of its pages disagree
- Your expected monthly usage of email, SMS, sourcing and AI actions, because that is the real budget
- Whether you need back office or pay-and-bill, which is not established here
Recruitly vs alternatives
Products a buyer would genuinely put next to this one, with the reason you would pick each instead.
Choose Recruit CRM when you want a comparable integrated agency ATS and CRM with a much larger independent review base behind the decision.
Consider Manatal if the seat price is the binding constraint and you would rather have a lower all-in rate than metered marketing and sourcing add-ons.
Consider Crelate when you want deeper configurability of the agency workflow and a longer independent track record than a newer challenger offers.
Choose Bullhorn if you run contract or temp staffing and need mature back-office and pay-and-bill functionality rather than a lean integrated desk.
