# Humanly review (2026): is it worth it? > AI recruiter, interviewer and ATS for hourly and high-volume hiring Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Humanly is an AI recruiting platform for hourly, frontline and high-volume employers. It contacts applicants by SMS, email and chat, screens and schedules them, runs structured AI video, voice and async interviews, and ranks candidates with transcripts. It also sells an AI notetaker, a talent CRM and an applicant tracking system. No prices are published. - **Category:** Hiring & Applicant Tracking - **Made by:** Humanly.io - **Website:** https://www.humanly.io - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price before talking to anyone, because there's no pricing page, only a demo. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Humanly's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **AI Recruiter:** Engages, screens and schedules applicants around the clock across SMS, email and chat, and re-engages past applicants. - **AI Interviewer:** Runs structured video, voice and asynchronous interviews on the candidate's schedule and returns ranked candidates with transcripts and reasoning. - **Applicant tracking system:** Manages candidates, pipelines and hiring workflows for click-to-apply, high-volume roles. - **AI Notetaker and talent CRM:** A notetaker for interviews and a talent CRM sit beside the recruiter and interviewer products. - **Configurable workflows:** Scoring, evaluation and scheduling run on workflows the employer sets, so qualified candidates get invites automatically. - **ATS and HCM connections:** Its partners page lists Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, JazzHR, Taleo, Workday and SAP among the systems it connects to. ## Good for - Restaurant, retail, healthcare and field-service employers hiring hourly staff - Small recruiting teams swamped by applicants who need fast first contact - Employers that want interviews run for every applicant, outside office hours ## Worth knowing - No pricing page exists; the site routes buyers to a demo. - It is built for hourly and high-volume hiring, so it suits professional or executive search less. - The vendor's headline results (such as 8x faster time-to-hire) are its own figures, not independent ones. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Humanly texts, emails and chats with applicants, runs AI video, voice and async interviews, and has an ATS behind it. It's built for hourly, high-volume roles, so it fits professional or executive search poorly, and there's no price anywhere on the site. The 8x faster time-to-hire claim is the vendor's own figure. - **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: B.** AI recruiter, AI interviewer, ATS, notetaker and talent CRM, with scoring and scheduling workflows. The listing names no gap in the core job of high-volume screening. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows workflows to configure and an ATS or HCM to connect. That puts it at C. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web product with a partners page naming Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, JazzHR, Taleo, Workday and SAP. No desktop or phone app is listed, so it stops at B. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Humanly's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among hiring and applicant tracking tools - Humanly's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 54 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 21. - It stands best on features (B, above 75 of 101) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could make: Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
