Which one fits your team?
Choose Mainder if you...
- Want the AI-native bundle across sourcing + screening + CRM + inbox + career site at one transparent price.
- Your team uses Killer Questions structured pre-screening to scale screening calls (not free-text only).
- You hire across EU/LATAM and need multiposting into InfoJobs, Idibu network, Talent.com, regional portals.
- You integrate AI agents (Claude, Cursor) with recruiting data via MCP Server.
- You're a growing agency (5-50 recruiters) that wants AI-native by default at €24-69/seat without enterprise sales.
- You need white-label Career Sites per brand/client with custom domain (Business+).
Choose Loxo if you...
- Your team is sourcing-outbound-first and you need Loxo's specific contact-data depth (emails/phones bundled) and proprietary Loxo Source database.
- Your operation already runs on Loxo's recruiter-CRM workflows and migration cost is higher than feature delta.
- You value Loxo AI Recruiter assistant interface specifically (chat-style sourcing UX).
- Your team doesn't need structured pre-screening (Killer Questions) or doesn't integrate MCP/LLM agents today.
- You prefer Loxo's contact-sales pricing model over transparent per-seat tiers.
