Gloat report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for internal mobility at very large companies
Gloat runs AI agents on top of your existing HR systems for internal mobility, skills gaps, workforce planning and employee questions. It's an enterprise HR platform, not an ATS, it assumes you already run Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle HCM, and no price is published.
Who Gloat is for
- Fits if you're a large employer that wants to move people between roles inside the company
- Works for HR teams already on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle HCM
Who Gloat is not for
- Skip it if you want an ATS, because Gloat isn't one
- Not for you if you're a small team: the pages describe an enterprise deployment
- Watch out: it sits on top of an existing HCM and doesn't replace it
- Tight if you want a price or a trial, as the site directs buyers to a demo
Why Gloat gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial.
- CFeaturesSkills inventory, an internal marketplace, workforce planning and agents inside Teams and Slack. It's an HR platform, not a hiring tool, so it covers a different job from most of its category.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing shows an enterprise rollout on top of an HCM. That puts it at C.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb product with agents in Teams, Slack, Zoom and Copilot, and connections to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM. No desktop or phone app, so B.

Keep Gloat, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Gloat you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. 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 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. Gloat’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.
What is Gloat?
Gloat is an enterprise HR platform that runs AI agents on top of a company's existing HR systems. It covers internal talent mobility, skills inventory and gap analysis, talent acquisition, workforce planning and employee HR questions, with agents that work in Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and Copilot. It connects to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the site directs buyers to a demo request.

- The pages describe an enterprise deployment on top of an existing HCM, so it is not aimed at small teams.
