SeekOut plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recruit Core | $149/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Recruit Sourcing / Full Funnel | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Recruit Sourcing / Full Funnel
On requestOver Recruit Core, this tier adds:

People bring SeekOut in for an individual recruiter or small agency wanting to start sourcing immediately on a card without a sales call, a talent acquisition team that has outgrown a self-serve seat cap and needs ats-integrated sourcing across the team, an employer benchmarking compensation and talent pool size for a hard-to-fill role before opening a search, a company wanting to try an ai-assisted sourcing service billed per role, as an alternative to paying a recruiting agency percentage fee. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to SeekOut are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Recruitment

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the SeekOut badges page.
Before you pay for SeekOut
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $149/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare SeekOut against the tools that do have one before committing.
SeekOut runs on web, chrome extension, and is published by SeekOut of Bellevue, Washington, United States. The full record is on the SeekOut review, and the rest of the category is under best recruitment tools.
