The cheap plan rarely includes AI sourcing. The plan that does is often a “contact sales” button with no number next to it. So the price you compare on the website is almost never the price you end up paying. This guide puts Loxo, Recruiterflow, Recruit CRM and Leonar side by side on the one question that matters at buying time: what does the AI sourcing tier really cost, and is that cost public? All prices below were checked against each vendor’s public pages as of June 2026. ## Loxo, Recruiterflow, Recruit CRM and Leonar pricing at a glance Here is the short version before we get into each tool. The column to watch is not the entry price. It is whether the plan with AI sourcing has a public number or a sales call attached. | Tool | Entry price | AI sourcing tier | Is that price public? | Seat minimum | Free trial | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leonar | $119/user/mo (Starter) | $199/user/mo, $169 on a 12-month commitment (Professional) | Yes, published | None | 7 days | | Loxo | $169/user/mo (Basic) | Professional, custom quote | No, contact sales | Not stated | Free tier + 7-day trial | | Recruiterflow | $149/user/mo (Platform) | AIRA, custom quote | No, "let's chat" | 3 seats | Free trial | | Recruit CRM | Localized Team price | Localized Business or Enterprise price | Yes, published | Not stated | Free trial | Two of these four tools publish the price of their AI tier. Two do not. That single fact shapes the rest of this comparison. ## What Loxo actually costs once you need AI sourcing Loxo is the most common starting point for agencies shopping this category, so its pricing sets the reference. The good news is that Loxo has a free ATS tier for a single user. The Basic plan then starts at $169 per user per month, which buys you the applicant tracking system, a sales CRM, job board distribution and resume parsing. Here is the catch. Basic does not include AI sourcing or outreach automation. The features most people buy Loxo for, its proprietary Loxo Source database and its AI agents, sit on the Professional tier. And Professional is a custom quote. You cannot see the number on the website. You book a call to find out. That structure matters because Loxo Source is the headline feature. The company markets a database of more than 1.2 billion profiles, but it lives behind the quote, along with 250 contact credits per user each month and the outreach automation. Contact credit overages are not published either. Several G2 reviewers flag Loxo as expensive once a whole team adopts it, partly because the real cost only appears late in the sales process. Price is only one part of the decision. Our research into [Loxo reviews from verified users and recruiter communities](https://www.leonar.app/blog/loxo-reviews/) explains what to test before accepting the Professional quote. If you want the full feature-by-feature picture, our detailed [Loxo vs Leonar comparison](https://www.leonar.app/compare/loxo-vs-leonar/) breaks down where each tool leads. And if Loxo’s quote comes back higher than expected, [the best Loxo alternatives for agencies](https://www.leonar.app/blog/loxo-alternatives/) covers the tools worth testing next. ## Recruiterflow pricing: the AI tier is a “let’s chat” Recruiterflow follows the same playbook with friendlier framing. Its Platform plan runs $149 per user per month and is genuinely complete on the ATS and CRM side. You get pipelines, multichannel sequences, recruitment and sales automation, bulk sourcing through a Chrome extension, reporting and API access. What you do not get on Platform is the AI. Recruiterflow’s AI agents live in a separate plan called AIRA, and AIRA is priced as “let’s chat.” The notetaker, the matchmaker, the job-change alerts and the various automation agents are all on that custom-quote tier. So the AI cost is invisible until you talk to sales, the same pattern as Loxo. Leonar now publishes its native call transcription add-on on the pricing page too, so call recording, transcripts and CRM summaries can be budgeted before a sales conversation. Two more details affect the real bill. Recruiterflow has a three-seat minimum, so the smallest contract covers three users even if one recruiter logs in. Pricing is billed annually by default, and choosing monthly billing costs more. For a solo recruiter or a two-person desk, that minimum quietly raises the floor. To see how the products line up beyond price, read [how Recruiterflow stacks up against Leonar](https://www.leonar.app/compare/recruiterflow-vs-leonar/), or browse [Recruiterflow alternatives worth a look](https://www.leonar.app/blog/recruiterflow-alternatives/) if the seat minimum does not fit your team. ## Recruit CRM pricing: transparent tiers, but check the AI Recruit CRM lists Team, Business, and Enterprise plans. Its prices are localized by region and change with the billing period, so use the [live Recruit CRM pricing page](https://recruitcrm.io/pricing/) for the amount shown in your market. The vendor says annual billing can save up to 20 percent. The plan ladder is public, but one global number would be misleading. Compare the localized Team, Business, and Enterprise prices with the features and usage limits your agency needs. The thing to watch is AI. Recruit CRM includes AI features, but usage and plan limits can still move the final cost. For the side-by-side detail, see [the full Recruit CRM vs Leonar breakdown](https://www.leonar.app/compare/recruit-crm-vs-leonar/). ## How Leonar prices it: every tier public, AI sourcing included Leonar takes the opposite approach to the hidden-tier model. Every plan has a number on the page, and the AI sourcing sits on a public tier rather than behind a quote. Starter is $119 per user per month and covers the ATS, CRM, pipelines and the Chrome extension for LinkedIn import. Professional is $199 per user per month, or $169 per user per month on a 12-month commitment billed monthly, and it is the plan most teams choose. Professional includes AI sourcing, the native database of more than 870 million profiles, multichannel outreach across email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, analytics and API access. The point is not that Leonar is the cheapest line item. Recruit CRM localizes its prices, so the comparison depends on your market and billing period. Leonar’s tier with AI sourcing and a large database is published at $199, or $169 on a 12-month commitment billed monthly, with no “contact us” step. You can budget for it today. You can see [Leonar’s full published pricing](https://www.leonar.app/pricing/) and exactly what each plan includes before you ever speak to anyone. ## The hidden-cost test: what does the AI sourcing tier really cost? Strip away the marketing and recruiting software pricing comes down to one test. Find the plan that includes AI sourcing and a contact database, then ask whether the price is printed or hidden. Run that test across the four tools and the pattern is clear. - **Loxo:** AI sourcing and Loxo Source live on Professional, a custom quote. Price hidden. - **Recruiterflow:** AI agents live on AIRA, a “let’s chat” tier. Price hidden. - **Recruit CRM:** Team, Business, and Enterprise tiers are published with localized prices. Check the live page for your market. - **Leonar:** AI sourcing and the 870 million profile database are on Professional at $199, or $169 on a 12-month commitment billed monthly. Price public. A hidden price is not automatically a bad deal. Sometimes a quote comes back reasonable. But a hidden price does three things to your buying process. It slows you down, because you cannot compare without a call. It weakens your negotiating position, because you have no public anchor. And it makes budgeting guesswork, because the number can change per rep and per quarter. ## What a 3 to 5 person recruiting team pays per year Numbers feel abstract until you multiply them by a team. So here is a worked example for five recruiters, using only the prices each vendor publishes. Where the AI tier is a quote, the honest answer is that you cannot know the full figure yet. | Tool | Plan used | Per user / month | 5 users / year | AI sourcing included? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leonar | Professional (12-month commitment) | $169 | $10,140 | Yes | | Recruiterflow | Platform | $149 | $8,940 | No, AIRA is a quote | | Recruit CRM | Business | Localized | Check live price | Partial, AI may add cost | | Loxo | Basic | $169 | $10,140 | No, Professional is a quote | Read this table carefully, because it is not a ranking of value. The Loxo and Recruiterflow rows show the plan without AI sourcing, since the plan with it has no public price. So their real all-in cost for a sourcing team is higher than the figure shown. Leonar is the only row where the published number already includes AI sourcing and the database. ## Which recruiting platform gives you the most for a public price? There is no single winner for every team, so match the tool to your situation. If Recruit CRM fits your workflow, check its localized Team price for your region and billing period before comparing totals. If you are a larger agency already committed to Loxo Source, Loxo’s quote may land where you need it, as long as you go in knowing the AI tier is custom. If your priority is seeing the full price before you buy, and getting AI sourcing plus a large contact database without a sales call, Leonar is the tool built around that promise. Professional publishes everything at $199, or $169 on a 12-month commitment billed monthly, and the 870 million profile database is part of the plan rather than an upgrade. The honest rule for this category is simple. Before you sign anything, make every vendor show you the price of the tier that includes AI sourcing. If they can, you can compare. If they cannot, you are negotiating blind. [See every Leonar plan and what is included](https://www.leonar.app/pricing/) to set your public benchmark, then hold the others to the same standard.

Loxo offers a free ATS tier for a single user. The Basic plan then starts at $169 per user per month as of June 2026. Basic includes the ATS, CRM, job board distribution and resume parsing, but not AI sourcing. The Professional tier that unlocks Loxo Source and the AI agents is a custom quote. Its price is not published on the website. You need to contact Loxo's sales team to learn the cost for the plan most agencies actually want. ### Is Loxo's AI sourcing included in the listed price? No. The $169 Basic price does not include AI sourcing or outreach automation. Loxo Source, the proprietary database Loxo advertises at more than 1.2 billion profiles, plus the AI agents and contact credits, all sit on the Professional tier. Professional is quoted individually rather than published, so you will not see its price until you speak with sales. Budget for a figure above the Basic rate if AI sourcing is the reason you are evaluating Loxo. ### How much does Recruiterflow cost, and is there a seat minimum? Recruiterflow's Platform plan is $149 per user per month and covers the ATS, CRM, multichannel sequences and bulk sourcing through a Chrome extension. Its AI agents live in a separate AIRA plan that is priced as a custom quote. Recruiterflow also has a three-seat minimum, so the smallest contract covers three users even if only one recruiter uses it, and plans are billed annually by default, with monthly billing at a higher rate. That minimum raises the effective starting cost for very small desks. ### How much does Recruit CRM cost per month? Recruit CRM now lists Team, Business, and Enterprise plans. Prices are localized by region and change with monthly or annual billing, so check Recruit CRM's live pricing page for the amount shown in your market. The vendor says annual billing can save up to 20 percent. ### Which recruiting software includes AI sourcing at a public price? Among the four tools here, Leonar is the one that publishes a price for the tier with AI sourcing. Its Professional plan is $199 per user per month, or $169 per user per month on a 12-month commitment billed monthly. That plan includes AI sourcing and a native database of more than 870 million profiles. Loxo and Recruiterflow both place their AI tiers behind a custom quote. Recruit CRM publishes its tiers but can add usage cost for AI. So Leonar is the clearest public benchmark for budgeting AI sourcing. ### Why do recruiting software vendors hide pricing above the entry tier? Hidden pricing lets a vendor quote each buyer differently and protect higher margins on the features people want most. The entry tier stays cheap and public to win the click. The AI or database tier then becomes a sales conversation. It is a common tactic, and not always a bad deal. But it slows your evaluation and removes your public anchor for negotiation. The fix is simple: ask every vendor for the price of the AI sourcing tier in writing before you compare. Not sure which plan fits your team?
