How do Loxo and Manatal pricing compare?

Manatal publishes its pricing: $15 per user per month on Professional (annual), $35 on Enterprise and $55 on Enterprise Plus, with a 14-day free trial. Loxo starts at $169 per user per month on Basic and does not fully publish the rest, with professional contracts commonly reported between $250 and $400 per user per month. Manatal is the transparent, low-cost option; Loxo is a premium, sales-led buy.

Which one is better for proactive sourcing?

Loxo. It is built as a talent-intelligence platform with a large candidate database enriched with contact information, AI sourcing and a native email finder, so a sourcing-heavy desk reaches candidates without a separate enrichment tool. Manatal sources through a Chrome extension and adds AI recommendations, but has no built-in enriched database or native email finder.

Do Loxo and Manatal have AI features?

Both do. Loxo focuses its AI on sourcing and candidate enrichment. Manatal includes AI candidate recommendations and scoring on all tiers, plus AI resume parsing, which is notable at its entry price. Neither runs multichannel outbound sequences with automatic pipeline advancement.

What outreach channels do they support?

Loxo runs email sequences with tracking, an email finder, phone through providers and nurturing campaigns, with LinkedIn messaging constrained. Manatal covers email and native SMS (US and Canada numbers) with nurturing, but no phone. Neither offers native WhatsApp or Telegram, and neither chains email, LinkedIn and messaging into a single automated sequence.

Is Manatal powerful enough to replace Loxo?

For a small or mid team recruiting mainly from its own base and inbound, Manatal covers the ATS, CRM and AI recommendations at a fraction of the price. For a desk whose engine is proactive outbound sourcing, Loxo's enriched database, email finder and deeper outreach are hard to replace with Manatal's lighter toolkit.

How hard is it to migrate between Loxo and Manatal?

Both support CSV import and export for candidates, contacts and notes, and offer onboarding help. Neither has a native connector to the other, so a switch means field mapping and, for large datasets, a phased migration. Moving off Loxo is usually the bigger project given its enriched data and sourcing configuration.

TL;DR

Positioning

Loxo fits agencies that live in proactive sourcing and want a built-in, enriched candidate database with contact data, and can absorb a premium, sales-led price. Manatal fits small and mid-size teams that want an all-in-one AI ATS and CRM that is cheap, quick to adopt and transparent to buy.

Why it matters

Manatal publishes pricing from $15 per user per month with a 14-day free trial, while Loxo starts at $169 (Basic) and is not fully published, with professional contracts commonly landing much higher. Loxo answers with a built-in talent database enriched with contact information, an email finder and stronger outreach automation, which a sourcing-heavy desk uses every day.

The catch

Where both stop: neither runs a single outbound sequence across email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and SMS at once. Loxo automates email follow-ups and can advance the pipeline on a reply, but only over email; Manatal leaves the cadence to the recruiter.

Loxo brings its own enriched candidate database, Manatal sources through the browser

LoxoManatalEdge: Loxo

Sourcing decides how much a recruiter retypes and how many contacts they can reach. The core question is whether the candidate data lives inside the platform or has to be captured and enriched from outside.

Loxo

Loxo is built around a talent-intelligence database: a large pool of candidates enriched with contact information, plus AI sourcing that surfaces matches and a native email finder. A Chrome extension captures profiles, and outreach can start from the enriched record without a separate enrichment tool. The trade-off is LinkedIn: native LinkedIn messaging is limited and leans on a LinkedIn Recruiter integration rather than a unified inbox, and there is no bulk LinkedIn import.

Manatal

Manatal sources through a Chrome extension with bulk LinkedIn import, including from Recruiter and Sales Navigator lists, plus AI parsing that fills profiles on import and AI candidate recommendations and scoring. What it lacks is Loxo's built-in enriched talent pool: there is no large pre-populated database, and contact discovery is lighter than Loxo's native email finder. For a team that brings its own candidates from LinkedIn, inbound and referrals, that is enough; for a desk that lives off an enriched database, Loxo's pool does more.

Verdict. For a sourcing-first desk, Loxo's enriched database and email finder remove more manual work up front. Manatal imports in bulk from LinkedIn and adds AI recommendations, but expects you to bring the candidates rather than draw them from a built-in pool.

Manatal is cheap, transparent and live in a day, Loxo is a premium, sales-led buy

LoxoManatalEdge: Manatal

Two things decide how quickly a team gets value: how much it costs and how transparent the buy is, and how long onboarding takes before the first placement runs through the system.

Loxo

Loxo starts at $169 per user per month on its Basic plan, with Professional pricing not published and third-party reports putting real contracts between roughly $250 and $400 per user per month depending on modules. Reviewers praise the interface and support, but the platform is deep, so onboarding and the learning curve take longer, and buyers note that pricing lacks transparency. It rewards a firm that will invest in sourcing and keep the system for years.

Manatal

Manatal publishes its pricing: $15 per user per month on Professional (annual), $35 on Enterprise and $55 on Enterprise Plus, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. It is designed to be live in a day, with fast onboarding and a clean interface that suit small and mid-size teams. The trade-off is depth: CRM and automation are lighter than Loxo's, so a heavy sourcing operation can outgrow it.

Verdict. For a small or mid team that wants to see the price, try the product and start this week, Manatal is the clear pick. Loxo earns its premium and longer setup when the sourcing engine is the point.

Loxo leans into outreach automation, Manatal keeps it light

LoxoManatalEdge: Loxo

Outreach turns a sourced profile into a conversation. The question is how much of the cadence the platform runs and across how many channels.

Loxo

Outreach is a core part of Loxo: email sequences with tracking, an email finder to reach candidates directly, phone through providers, and nurturing campaigns. Multichannel sequences reach email and LinkedIn, though LinkedIn messaging is constrained and there is no native WhatsApp or Telegram. For an outbound desk, the built-in email finder plus sequences is the draw.

Manatal

Manatal covers two-way email sync, native SMS to candidates (US and Canada numbers) and nurturing campaigns, with a small automation that adjusts greetings to the time of day. It has no phone and no cross-channel sequence builder, so outreach stays email-and-text rather than a multichannel cadence. It fits a team that works candidates over email, text and its career page rather than running heavy outbound sequences.

Verdict. Loxo gives a sourcing-and-outreach desk more of the toolkit, with an email finder, tracking and automation. Manatal keeps outreach to email and text. Neither runs a true email-to-LinkedIn-to-WhatsApp sequence on its own.

Both report the pipeline, Loxo goes deeper on dashboards

LoxoManatalEdge: Even

Reporting is where an agency sees whether the desk is working: which sources produce, which recruiters convert, where candidates stall. Both tools ship dashboards, with a difference in depth.

Loxo

Loxo provides standard pipeline reports plus more configurable dashboards, source-effectiveness tracking and team performance, in line with a platform aimed at data-driven sourcing teams. The reporting supports a firm that wants to see which channels and recruiters produce, though the deepest customization sits with its higher tiers.

Manatal

Manatal offers standard reports with pipeline and process statistics and team performance, enough for a small or mid agency to track throughput. Its dashboards are less configurable than Loxo's, and source-effectiveness reporting is lighter, but the essentials are covered at its entry price.

Verdict. Both give an agency the reports it needs day to day. Loxo goes deeper on configurable dashboards and source attribution; Manatal covers the standard set at a lower price. Call it even unless deep BI is a priority.

Which fits which team?

Neither tool wins outright. The right pick comes down to how central proactive sourcing is, and whether you value a deep, premium engine or a cheap, fast, all-in-one ATS.

Choose Loxo if:

Proactive sourcing is the core of your desk
You want a built-in, enriched candidate database with contact data
You want an email finder and tracked outreach sequences built in
You will invest in onboarding and keep the platform for years
You can absorb a premium, sales-led price

Choose Manatal if:

You run a small or mid-size team on a tight budget
You want published pricing from $15 and a free trial
You want to be live in a day with a clean, simple interface
You value AI candidate recommendations and scoring included cheaply
Your desk works candidates over email and a career page more than heavy outbound

If neither profile fits cleanly, for example a team that wants exposed agentic AI, native multichannel sequences and EU data hosting at transparent pricing, it is worth widening the shortlist.

Jarvi: the third option that closes the gap Loxo and Manatal leave open

Loxo runs outreach around email at a premium, sales-led price; Manatal keeps outreach to email and text. Loxo can act on an email reply, but neither runs one sequence across email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and SMS that moves the pipeline from any channel.

Vs Loxo. Against Loxo, Jarvi runs multichannel outbound in one sequence at transparent, published pricing, instead of an email-centric engine behind a sales-led quote.

Vs Manatal. Against Manatal, Jarvi goes past email-first outreach and light automation. Sequences run across five channels at once, and an AI copilot suggests the next best action for each candidate instead of leaving the follow-up cadence to the recruiter.

The Jarvi differentiator

The difference is AI reply detection that spans every channel. Loxo can act on an email reply; Jarvi reads replies across every channel in the sequence and moves the pipeline from any of them. A candidate answers with interest, Jarvi stops the sequence and alerts the recruiter. They reply 'not now', Jarvi schedules a six-month recall. They decline, the record is archived cleanly with its notes. That cross-channel automation takes hours of manual follow-up off each recruiter every week.
