Guide preview

Seven recruitment agency CRMs grouped by how they bill, what each page lists and which agency size fits, read from vendor pages on October 27, 2026.

Bottom line: No single tool wins for every agency. Recruit CRM, Manatal, Bullhorn, Recruiterflow, Loxo, JobAdder and Zoho Recruit differ most in how they bill, whether a trial exists and what sits behind a quote. Choose by recruiter count, permanent versus contract work and how much of the price you want published.

Side-by-side comparison

Recruit CRM vs Bullhorn: plans, fit and who should pick which

Read the guide →

Guide preview

Recruit CRM and Bullhorn side by side from each vendor's pages: how plans are published, where the sales CRM and AI sit, and who should pick which.

Bottom line: Both cover candidates, clients and jobs for agencies. Recruit CRM publishes its plans and bills per user with pooled credits. Bullhorn publishes two small-agency plans, Starter and Core, and sells Pro and Max by quote, with its sales CRM and most AI on those higher tiers. Pick by price transparency, CRM need and team size.
