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.; Manatal pricing is per recruiter seat, so putting every hiring manager into the system to review candidates multiplies the licence count and erases the price advantage.
  • They diverge on capability: Comeet covers Assigned hiring steps, Manatal covers Candidate enrichment.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 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.

Manatal

  • Pricing is per recruiter seat, so putting every hiring manager into the system to review candidates multiplies the licence count and erases the price advantage.
  • Candidate enrichment depends on public profile data, so accuracy drops sharply in markets where professional networking sites have low penetration and the scores become misleading rather than useful.
  • Integrations with major HRIS and payroll systems are limited compared with Western competitors, so new hire handover is frequently a CSV export rather than a sync.
  • Support operates on Indochina business hours, which leaves European afternoons and all of North American working hours outside the responsive window.
  • Reporting covers recruiter activity and source data but lacks the cohort and quality-of-hire analysis a mature talent function expects, and custom analysis means exporting to a spreadsheet.

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.

Manatal: Is it for agencies or in-house teams?

Both. The agency mode adds client and placement management; the corporate mode is a conventional ATS. Buying the wrong mode means paying for modules you never open.

Comeet: Who owns Comeet?

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

Manatal: How is it priced compared with other ATS products?

Per recruiter seat per month. That is not comparable with vendors that charge per active job slot or per employee, so model your real user count before comparing headline numbers.

Comeet: How is it priced?

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

Manatal: Where is candidate data hosted?

On cloud infrastructure with GDPR commitments, but region-specific residency guarantees are weaker than EU-native vendors offer, which matters for regulated European buyers.

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.

Manatal: Does the AI scoring actually work?

It ranks reliably against structured requirements such as skills and experience length. It is far less reliable where enrichment data is sparse.
