Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 54 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Humanly, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
Best for AI screening and interviews for hourly hiring
Humanly texts, emails and chats with applicants, runs AI video, voice and async interviews, and has an ATS behind it.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
AI Recruiter
Engages, screens and schedules applicants around the clock across SMS, email and chat, and re-engages past applicants.
- 4
AI Interviewer
Runs structured video, voice and asynchronous interviews on the candidate's schedule and returns ranked candidates with transcripts and reasoning.
- 5
Applicant tracking system
Manages candidates, pipelines and hiring workflows for click-to-apply, high-volume roles.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 54 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 Humanly 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 AI screening and interviews for hourly hiring
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.
| 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 | 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. |
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 Humanly is for
- Fits if you hire hourly staff in restaurants, retail or healthcare and applicants pile up
- Works for small recruiting teams who want first contact and scheduling out of office hours
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price before talking to anyone, because there's no pricing page, only a demo
- Not for you if you recruit for professional or executive roles, since it's built for click-to-apply volume
- Watch out: the headline results, such as 8x faster time-to-hire, are the vendor's own numbers
- Tight if you want to try before buying: no free plan or trial is listed
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Humanly'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 Humanly’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. humanly.io has them.

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 Humanly 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.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking: 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.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Humanly’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.
