Best for applicant tracking built around hiring managers
Comeet is now Spark Hire Recruit, an applicant tracking system built around hiring managers, starting at $335 a month on yearly billing. That's well above what other hiring tools charge, and the AI notetaker, API and SSO cost extra.
Who Spark Hire Recruit is for
- Fits if hiring managers need to do much of the work themselves
- Works for teams that want video interviews and references in the same system
Who Spark Hire Recruit is not for
- Pricey if you hire a few people a year, from $335 a month billed annually
- Skip it if you want to try before talking to sales, as no trial is listed
- Watch out: the product was renamed Spark Hire Recruit, and prices sit on sparkhire.com
- Watch out: the AI notetaker, API access and SSO are add-ons on every plan
- Tight if you want approvals or scorecards, which start on Growth, $499 a month

Keep Spark Hire Recruit, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Spark Hire Recruit you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. It costs $4,020 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Spark Hire Recruit’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
