RecruitMCP and Gem.

A CRM and ATS with AI sourcing. Startup pricing is on the page. Larger teams are custom.

As of 13 October 2026. The notes below are taken from the public pages listed at the end. Those pages can change.

What you use

Gem

A recruiting platform. One path keeps your ATS and adds sourcing, outreach, scheduling, and analytics. The other path replaces the stack with Gem's ATS.

RecruitMCP

An HTTP API and an MCP server. Call it from Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Claude Code, or your own code.

How you start

Gem

The page says companies under 30 employees get Gem All-in-One free for six months, then 50% off, and companies of 30 to 100 employees get reduced rates from day one. Larger plans are custom, based on employee count.

RecruitMCP

Self-serve. Create a workspace, confirm your email, and get 1,250 credits. No card.

Published price

Gem

The two main paths are marked custom, based on company size. The startup section shows $130 per month and $270 per month next to company size and payment term, so the figure depends on those selectors. A single price for a larger team is not listed.

RecruitMCP

You pay for a result that comes back. A returned lead is 1 credit. A live profile is 2 credits. A live company lookup is 1 credit. A preview spends nothing. The price of a found contact is shown in the estimate before it runs. Outreach is €49 per connected account per month, not per message.

Seats

Gem

The page describes Standard seats and AI-powered seats. It does not print a per-seat dollar rate for a large team.

RecruitMCP

No seats. API keys in a workspace share one balance.

Beyond search

Gem

CRM, sequences, scheduling, analytics, job posts, scorecards, and offers. The page says AI sourcing searches 800 million-plus profiles, and that email finding on a Standard seat is unlimited.

RecruitMCP

Search, profiles, companies, contacts, lists, and outreach. No ATS, no CRM, no interview scheduling, and no interview notes. RecruitMCP does not score people.

Where Gem covers more

Gem is a system for the whole funnel: CRM, outreach, scheduling, analytics, and either your ATS or Gem's own ATS. It also describes AI sourcing, rediscovery, and application review. RecruitMCP does not store a pipeline, post jobs, or schedule interviews.
