The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Comeet the assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.; Gem pricing outside the small-startup tier is entirely custom and not published, so mid-size and enterprise buyers cannot benchmark cost before a sales call
  • They diverge on capability: Comeet covers Assigned hiring steps, Gem covers AI sourcing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Comeet

  • The assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.
  • Pricing is quoted rather than published and scales with company size and hiring volume, so it cannot be compared against per seat or per job slot competitors without going through a sales cycle.
  • Sourcing and candidate relationship management are thinner than dedicated tools, so passive outreach still happens in LinkedIn and is recorded after the fact.
  • The 2023 acquisition by Spark Hire places an independent ATS inside a portfolio company, and buyers should ask for explicit standalone roadmap commitments before signing a multi-year term.
  • Support and product hours have historically followed Israeli and US eastern time, which leaves European and Asia Pacific customers with narrow overlap for anything urgent.

Gem

  • Pricing outside the small-startup tier is entirely custom and not published, so mid-size and enterprise buyers cannot benchmark cost before a sales call
  • Choosing Gem All-in-One as an ATS replacement is a much larger migration decision than adding a sourcing layer, and the sales process does not surface that distinction clearly upfront
  • Seat types (standard versus AI-powered) gate which features a given recruiter can use, so a team can under-provision seats and lose access to sourcing features they assumed were included
  • The startup discount programme has eligibility cutoffs by employee count and age of company, so growing past 30 employees or beyond early stage removes the cheaper pricing path
  • Outreach effectiveness depends on email deliverability and candidate response rates that Gem does not control, so ROI varies by how saturated a company's target talent pool already is with recruiter outreach
  • Switching from Gem back to a standalone ATS after adopting All-in-One means re-migrating hiring pipeline data a second time, which is a cost most buyers do not model at signup

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Comeet: What is elastic recruiting?

Each step of a hiring process is assigned to a named person with a defined action and deadline, and the system tracks completion rather than leaving candidates in an unowned queue.

Gem: Do we need to replace our ATS to use Gem?

No, Gem can run alongside an existing ATS purely for sourcing and CRM; Gem All-in-One is a separate option that includes its own ATS.

Comeet: Who owns Comeet?

Spark Hire acquired it in 2023 and sells it alongside video interviewing and assessment products.

Gem: Is there a published price for larger teams?

Only the 1-10 employee startup tier has a public price; larger teams are quoted based on FTE count and seat mix.

Comeet: How is it priced?

By quote, based on company size and hiring volume, with unlimited users rather than per recruiter seats.

Gem: What is the difference between a standard and AI-powered seat?

Standard seats cover core sourcing, email-finding and ATS sync; AI-powered seats add sourcing agents, application review and fraud detection.

Comeet: Is it a good fit for low-volume hiring?

Not especially. The structure pays off when several people are involved in every hire and process delay is the real problem.
