## FAQ

**What is the difference between SeekOut Recruit and SeekOut Spot?**

SeekOut Recruit is software for your own recruiters: search across a claimed 1B+ profiles with 30+ smart filters and 300+ power filters, AI-drafted outreach, and applicant scoring, with campaigns launching from your team's seats and evaluations staying with your recruiters. SeekOut Spot is a quote-only managed service where SeekOut's AI and its own recruiters promise screened, interview-ready candidates in "as few as two weeks".

**How much does SeekOut cost?**

The published entry point is Recruit Core at $149 a month paid annually upfront, or $179 billed monthly (checked August 2026). Every higher Recruit tier is custom-priced on seats and usage, and Spot is quote-only. Metix AI publishes every plan: $99 to $499 monthly, or $89 to $449 per month on annual billing.

**Does SeekOut handle outreach and interview scheduling?**

SeekOut Recruit drafts AI-personalized outreach, builds multi-step campaign sequences, and scores applicants, but the campaigns launch from your own recruiters' seats and the evaluations stay with your team. Interview scheduling goes unmentioned on the Recruit solutions page, so plan for it to sit on your side. SeekOut Spot, the quote-only managed service, delivers screened, interview-ready candidates instead.

**Who should pick SeekOut over Metix AI?**

Teams with in-house sourcers who live in search all day, defense and healthcare recruiters who need SeekOut's security-cleared and clinical pools, and large TA orgs that want analytics on an enterprise stack. If you want AI Agents to carry the workflow through interview scheduling, Metix AI subscriptions run $99 to $499 monthly with a free 14-day trial.
