Recruit CRM ranks first because it covers the full agency loop, from client intake to candidate submission, on a $95 per user plan with published prices. The Pro plan includes the ATS and CRM, a hiring manager portal where clients leave feedback and submit job orders, a Chrome extension for adding LinkedIn profiles, two-way email and calendar sync, and AI agents that parse custom fields and write candidate pitches for clients. Paid extras run on a credit pool: Pro adds 100 credits per user each month, posting one job to its 3,000+ boards costs 25 credits, and AI search across 800M+ external profiles costs 3 credits per 100 profiles. That model is fair for agencies that post a few roles a week but needs watching if you text candidates in bulk. Outreach sequences across email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, branded resume formatting and SSO sit on the $135 Business plan, which most growing desks will want within a year.
