  • They diverge on capability: Comeet covers Assigned hiring steps, SeekOut covers Candidate database search.
  • 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.

SeekOut

  • The self-serve Recruit Core tier caps monthly contacts at 500 and exports at 1,000, which an active recruiter can exhaust well before the month ends
  • Moving from Recruit Core to team-level plans reverts to custom quoting, so the published entry price does not scale predictably as a team grows
  • Candidate data is aggregated from public and licensed sources, so contact accuracy and freshness vary by role type and can lag for less public roles
  • ATS integration and market intelligence, the features larger teams actually need, sit behind the quoted tiers rather than the published price
  • SeekOut Spot's per-role pricing model still requires a sales conversation to size, despite being marketed as a lower-cost alternative to agencies
  • A large claimed database size does not guarantee coverage in every geography or niche technical skill, and buyers cannot verify coverage for their specific roles before purchase

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.

SeekOut: Is there a genuinely self-serve price?

Yes, Recruit Core is $149/month billed annually or $179/month billed monthly, purchasable without a sales call, with a 14-day free trial.

Comeet: Who owns Comeet?

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

SeekOut: What happens when I hit the monthly contact limit?

Recruit Core caps at 500 monthly contacts and 1,000 exports; exceeding that requires upgrading to a quoted team tier.

Comeet: How is it priced?

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

SeekOut: Is SeekOut Spot the same product as Recruit?

No, Spot is a separate AI-assisted, human-reviewed sourcing service billed per role or per contractor rather than a seat-based search tool.

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.
