pricingAI is not an add-on. Token spend for matching, note-taking, outreach drafting, and recommendations is included in every plan. It's instrumental to how Spott works.

pricingLoxo's pitch is an 800M+ talent graph it owns, built into your ATS in place of a separate sourcing subscription, with a Self-Updating CRM Agent that refreshes candidate records against its data. Two things shape how that lands in practice: the refresh draws on Loxo's own talent graph and third-party data, and the AI agents that power it sit on the quote-only Professional tier, not the published Basic plan.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingSpott publishes every plan in USD, EUR, AUD and GBP. Core is $139. Pro is $199. Per user, per month, on an annual agreement, with Enterprise custom. AI search, note-taking, matching and recommendations are included from the base plan up, not a paid upgrade; the only usage-based cost is enrichment credits for sourcing contact data. Migration is a four-week engagement in the cost, not an upsell.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingLoxo publishes two of its four tiers: Free for a single user, and Basic at $169 per user/month (billed monthly or annually). The Talent Intelligence Platform capabilities (the 800M+ talent graph, all Loxo AI agents, Natural Language Search, AI Notetaker, outreach automation and the client report generator) sit on the quote-only Professional and Enterprise tiers.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingBottom line: Loxo's published price covers a Sales CRM, job posting and analytics; its AI and sourcing live on a quote-only tier. With Spott, every tier is on the page and AI is in the base plan.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingYou want pricing you can read on the page: every tier published, AI in the base plan, migration in the cost.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingThe gap between traditional ATS platforms and what recruiters now expect from one grows every quarter. Loxo built an all-in-one workflow over more than a decade; the trade-offs against an AI-native platform show up in data freshness, where context lives, and the pricing of AI capabilities.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingLoxo is worth considering if you value a built-in sourcing database and want a free entry point. The trade-off is that its AI agents, Natural Language Search and 800M+ talent graph sit on the quote-only Professional tier, not the published Basic plan. For firms that need unified multi-channel communication, semantic AI matching in the base plan, and a live client portal, Spott delivers more depth for the published price.https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
pricingLoxo is an all-in-one platform built around a vendor-owned talent graph, with its AI agents on a quote-only tier. Spott is an AI-native ATS/CRM where the source of truth is your own activity. The difference shows in data freshness (Spott updates records from your calls, emails and messages), search (semantic in the base plan vs on the quote-only tier), communication (conversations auto-linked to records), and client delivery (a live branded portal and AI-built reports).https://spott.io/resources/spott-vs-loxo-which-recruitment-platform-is-right-for-your-agency-in-2026
