Manatal

Manatal is an agentic AI recruitment platform. Alongside a fast ATS and recruitment CRM, you get an AI Interviewer that conducts real video interviews 24/7, an AI Notetaker that records and transcribes your meetings, and a context-aware AI Copilot that works inside your account. Manatal is also the first ATS with a native MCP server, so you can connect your live data to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot Studio and simply ask questions. Try all of it on a 14-day free trial. No credit card, no sales call.

Bullhorn

Bullhorn has built out its AI with Amplify, but most of it sits behind a quote and stops short of what you need. Its AI screener handles voice and chat only, so video interviewing means buying another tool. Published pricing covers just the two entry plans, with AI screening, chat, and transcription in quote-based tiers on top. And with no free trial, you commit before you ever touch the product.

The right ATS investment

Bullhorn now publishes prices for its two entry plans: $99/user/month for Starter and $165/user/month for Core.

The catch is what those plans leave out. AI search and match, Amplify Chat, agentic screening, call transcription, and digital workers all sit in higher tiers that are quote-only, so you cannot know your real cost until you talk to sales.

Manatal starts at $15/user/month, and the price you see is the price you pay. You get the vendor portal, candidate scorecards, workflow automation, and a 700M candidate database in the box, plus AI Interviewer, AI Notetaker, and AI Copilot as clearly priced add-ons. Support is 24/5 by chat and email, with live onboarding included rather than sold as a service package.
