Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Deep Code
- Model choice is narrow. Bring your own key covers DeepSeek-V4-Pro and Flash plus the GLM and Mimo coding plans, and no frontier model from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google.
- The Pro tier caps included usage at 100 Pro Credits per day rather than offering an unmetered plan.
- Bring your own key is a paid feature, so the free tier cannot be pointed at your own DeepSeek account.
- Desktop only, with no editor extension, web version or team seat management as of September 2026.
- A small, young vendor with no independent review coverage yet, so there is nothing outside the vendor's own site to corroborate the cost claim.
Greenhouse
- Core plan lacks talent discovery and contact lookups
- Core plan lacks email automation and applicant texting
- Plus plan lacks resume anonymisation and application limits
- Plus plan lacks audit logging and developer tools
- Pricing customised by hiring volume and company size, not published
- Only Pro tier offers audit logs and developer sandbox

SourceGreenhouse: How much does Greenhouse cost?

SourceGreenhouse: What are the Greenhouse pricing tiers?
Greenhouse offers three plan levels: Core (basic hiring structure), Plus (multi-location optimization), and Pro (complex enterprise hiring). Exact pricing requires contacting Greenhouse for a custom quote.
SourceDeep Code: Do I need my own API key to use it?
No. The free tier includes weekly credits and needs no credit card, so the app works without a key. Bring your own key is available on the $5 per month Pro tier and covers DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, the GLM Coding Plan and the Mimo Coding Plan.

No. Core includes sourcing and scheduling, Plus adds automation and texting, and Pro adds enterprise data configuration and audit logs. All tiers can be customized.
SourceDeep Code: Which operating systems does it run on?
Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a desktop application rather than an editor extension, so it runs alongside whatever editor you already use.
SourceDeep Code: Is the 95 percent cheaper claim independently verified?
No. It is the vendor's own figure, based on DeepSeek token pricing against frontier model pricing. Actual savings depend on which model you compare against and how much of your usage falls inside the included credits.
