A credit balance is a decision you have to keep making
Two credits per email lookup sounds like nothing until it is a resourcer deciding whether this candidate is worth spending on. That is a small tax on curiosity, paid every day, and it changes how people work long before it changes the invoice.
Recruitly does not meter the AI. Nobody has to ration a shortlist.
One afternoon of sourcing
Rate from Recruiterflow’s help centre: 2 AIRA credits per successful email find.
The same loop, without the wallet
AI is not metered
Semantic matching, application review, CV formatting, advert writing and Simi run on every plan without a credit balance to watch. Nothing stops mid-shortlist because a wallet emptied.
Read moreEnrichment is on the record
Find email and find phone sit on the candidate and contact, and what you find is saved against them rather than counted against a lookup allowance.
Read moreCalling is included
Click-to-dial, recording, transcription and AI summaries are part of the subscription. There is no second account with a second bill.
Read moreMigration is run by a specialist
A two-stage process with published day-by-day milestones and a parallel run, quoted before it starts so there is nothing to discover later.

Questions before you move
Recruiterflow says there are no extra costs. Is that not true?
Their pricing FAQ does say “No add-ons. No surprises. No extra costs.” It is a fair description of the seat licence — $149 per user per month, or $119 on an annual commitment, and that is genuinely what a seat costs. What it does not describe is the metered layer alongside it. Their own help centre explains that AI runs on AIRA credits bought through billing, that each successful email lookup consumes 2 credits, that White-Glove Migration is a paid service, and that calling and SMS run through your own Twilio account with Twilio's bill attached. Both statements are theirs. We are pointing at the gap between them, not accusing anyone of hiding anything.
What does Recruitly cost by comparison?
There is a free plan, and paid plans start at $25 per user per month. Every feature is on every plan — there is no AI tier, no credit wallet and no capability that arrives at a particular headcount. Where we do charge for consumption it is published: sourcing profile discovery, for example, is priced per profile on the pricing page rather than sold as an opaque credit pack.
Is there anything Recruiterflow does better?
Yes, and it is a genuine strength: the sourcing-to-sequence loop. Bulk sourcing from their Chrome extension into multichannel outbound sequences is the real product, it is well built, and for a small agency doing heavy business development it is a pleasant thing to use every day. If your agency is essentially an outbound machine and you are happy paying for the AI on top, that is a defensible choice. Our case is that the same loop belongs in the system that also holds your placements and invoices, without a per-lookup meter running.
What happens to my data if I leave?
With us, you export it whenever you want, at no charge, in full. We would rather make leaving easy than make it a negotiation — a product that has to trap you is telling you something. Whatever you are moving from, start the export before you give notice rather than after.
Do I need a Twilio account with Recruitly?
No. Calling, recording, transcription and AI call summaries are part of the subscription and you keep your own numbers. If you already have a carrier you are happy with, we integrate rather than force a change, but you are not required to hold a second account to make the phone work.
How long does the move take?
A specialist runs it in two stages: a sample export on day 1, plan and quote signed off on day 5, 100 records per module validated by you on day 12, then the full load and a second sign-off on day 14. After that both systems run in parallel while your team works normally, with a final export on the Friday, the delta over the weekend and go-live on the Monday.
