Best for AI candidate search by plain-language prompt
Juicebox is an AI recruiting platform with plain-language candidate search, a limited free plan and Starter at $99 a seat a month on yearly billing. Credits are capped, ATS integration is Business only, and its Agents are an extra $199 each.
Who Juicebox is for
- Fits if you want to search candidates by describing them in words
- Works for a recruiter who will pay about $100 a month
Who Juicebox is not for
- Skip it if you need an ATS or CRM link before the Business plan
- Tight if you stay free, with limited searches only
- Tight if you reach out a lot, because Starter allows 500 contact credits a month
- Pricey if you want Agents, at $199 per agent a month
- Watch out: Juicebox says it is acquiring Fetcher's assets, and Fetcher is retiring its platform

Keep Juicebox, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Juicebox 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.
It costs $1,188 a year.
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.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Juicebox’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.
