Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 30 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Gloat, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
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.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Transactional agents
Answer routine employee questions such as remaining time off or tax form updates; the vendor says this halves HR ticket volume.
- 4
Workflow agents
Run multi-step processes like performance reviews, onboarding and compensation adjustments from start to finish.
- 5
Strategic agents
Support succession planning, workforce capacity modeling and early flags on regional skill gaps.
- 6
A 1.8 GPA, above 30 of 101
That is against the other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial. |
| Features | C | Skills 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and the listing shows an enterprise rollout on top of an HCM. That puts it at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Large employers that want internal mobility and skills data layered on Workday, SAP or Oracle
- HR teams that want assistants inside Teams, Slack or Copilot
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the site directs buyers to a demo request.
- It is an HR and workforce platform, not a standalone applicant tracking system.
- The pages describe an enterprise deployment on top of an existing HCM, so it is not aimed at small teams.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Gloat's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo.
We could not confirm Gloat’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. gloat.com has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
30/101
Other hiring and applicant tracking tools it is graded above
Gloat's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 30 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 23.

Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 102 hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Gloat’s own letter is outlined.

- CEase of useAbove 1 of 101
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 39 of 101
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
