Manatal

While Firefish keeps its pricing under wraps and offers no free trial, Manatal provides full transparency and hands-on access from day one. With Manatal, enjoy AI based candidate scoring, a centralized Sourcing Hub, and unlimited custom job pipelines all without hidden costs.

Firefish

Firefish doesn’t disclose its pricing and lacks core recruitment capabilities. Without features like custom resume builder, candidate quick-screening, and social media enrichment you’re left paying a premium without knowing it. Manatal includes all of these in its base plan, with clear pricing and no surprises.

Why choose Manatal over Firefish?

14-day free trial
Share your jobs on thousands of free and premium channels
Automatic AI based candidates scoring
Easy-to-use & unlimited custom job pipelines
Candidate quick-screening
Custom resume builder
Candidate scorecards
Workflow automations

The right ATS investment

Firefish keeps its pricing undisclosed and does not offer a free trial while Manatal provides a 14-day free trial and a full suite of recruitment features starting at just $15/user/month.
