Juicebox Pricing 2026: Plans, Credits, Cost per Team

As of October 18, 2026, Juicebox (formerly PeopleGPT) starts at $119 per seat per month for Starter, or $99 with annual billing, according to the vendor’s pricing page. Growth costs $199 monthly or $179 annually per seat, the Agent add-on $199 per agent, and Business is quote-only. Searches are unlimited on paid plans; contact and export credits are what you actually pay for. A team of three on Growth pays $537 a month on annual billing, $6,444 a year.

Juicebox plans and prices

Juicebox publishes prices for Free, Starter, and Growth, all in US dollars. Business needs a quote. The annual option is labelled “15% off” on the vendor’s page. The figures below come from the pricing and plan-comparison page, checked on October 18, 2026. Juicebox repriced on July 21, 2026: Starter fell from $139 to $119 per month and its credits doubled from 250 to 500, which is why older articles still quote other numbers.

The annual figures are monthly equivalents: one annual Starter seat is $1,188 for twelve months, one Growth seat $2,148. Juicebox does not publish a Business total, implementation fees, a minimum seat count, taxes, or a price for topping up credits. The “15% off” badge also does not match the displayed numbers ($119 to $99 is 17%, $199 to $179 is 10%), so approve the budget on the dollar total in the order form.

What does a Juicebox reveal cost?

Contact credits are charged for email and phone data. The plan comparison lists one credit for a personal email, one for a professional email, and three for a phone number. Check the exact deduction for a profile with several data types in the free account before you model a campaign.

These are capacity calculations, not credit prices. Unused capacity makes every real reveal dearer: on monthly Starter, 50 reveals cost $2.38 each in subscription, 250 cost $0.48, 500 cost $0.24. Export credits are a separate meter for profiles moved by CSV, ATS, or CRM: 100 per bulk export on Starter, 250 on Growth, 500 on Business. Direct ATS and CRM sync appears only on Business.

Hidden costs

• Seats: Starter is one seat; Growth allows up to five paid seats. Beyond that you negotiate Business.
• Phone numbers: they cost three credits, and phone-heavy workflows drain the pool three times as fast as email.
• Agents: one $199 Agent costs more than a Starter seat, and the vendor discloses no annual discount for it.
• Credit rollover: the pricing page does not say whether unused credits carry over to the next month. Ask in writing before you buy.
• Exports: moving profiles into your ATS or CRM draws on the separate export meter, not on contact credits.
• Commitment: annual billing turns a test into a twelve-month contract.
• Outreach: Juicebox lists email sequences, but domains, mailboxes, deliverability, and replies stay your cost and work.
• False positives: broad reveals spend credits and recruiter review time at once.

What 3, 5 and 15 recruiters really pay

Because Growth stops at five paid seats, the team sizes behave differently. Take a small agency with three recruiters who each reveal about 400 contacts a month: the team holds 4,500 contact credits on Growth but uses 1,200, so the subscription spreads over 1,200 reveals, about $0.45 each on annual billing ($537 ÷ 1,200), almost four times the $0.119 you see when every credit is used.

For 15 recruiters, multiplying the Growth rate (15 × $179 = $2,685 per month, $32,220 per year) gives only an arithmetic floor. Business adds integrations and governance, and Juicebox publishes no price for it. Ask for seats, credits, Agents, implementation, and contract term in one quote. On October 30, 2026 the ECB reference rate was 1.1172 US dollars per euro, so $537 is about 481 € and $895 about 801 €; your invoice will use the rate and VAT treatment of the order form.

Is Juicebox worth it?

There is no universal break-even. A search has no value until it becomes a qualified, contactable candidate, so measure from query to booked conversation. If a recruiter’s loaded time costs $50 per hour, monthly Starter must save 2.38 hours just to cover $119. That is a threshold to test over two to four weeks, not a promise.

The Starter-to-Growth breakpoint is volume: Growth costs $80 more per seat and adds 1,000 contact and 1,000 export credits. Below 500 reveals a month it is not cheaper. The second breakpoint is precision. Two searches that each reveal 500 people, one yielding 125 accepted candidates and one 50, cost the same subscription but roughly $0.95 versus $2.38 per qualified profile on monthly Starter. A sourcing funnel measured through booked meetings shows this better than a profile count. Reviews are covered in our Juicebox reviews.

Cheaper ways to the same job

An alternative only helps if it removes the constraint that caused the review.

LinkedIn Recruiter Lite and XING TalentManager

Two network-native options are often priced next to Juicebox. According to the vendor’s help pages (checked September 2026), LinkedIn Recruiter Lite costs about $140 per month on annual billing, with a one-year commitment and 30 InMail credits. It is dearer than Juicebox Starter, but it searches the largest professional network. XING TalentManager costs around 366 € per month and is the DACH-native choice with German-market data and a German interface; it has no natural-language search like Juicebox. Neither includes an owned talent pool or automated outreach in one inbox. Sprad searches LinkedIn, XING, GitHub, and your own pool in one search and is, according to our own comparison, 30 to 80 % cheaper than separate LinkedIn and XING recruiter licences, depending on what you hold today.

Sprad Atlas: flat per seat or credits for the company

sprad.io/product/people-search

Sprad People Search: requirements instead of keywords. Source: sprad.io, October 2026.

Sprad offers two models and lets you combine them. Credits belong to the whole company: 100 a month are free (200 in the first month), a web search across more than a billion public profiles costs 2 credits per displayed profile within a budget per run of 50, 100, or 300 credits (up to 25, 50, or 150 profiles), and one credit is worth about 9 to 10 cents. Flat seats need no credits: Recruiter Lite is 79 € per seat and month (500 profiles a month), Atlas Recruiter 299 € per seat and month (profiles and searches unlimited within fair use, one LinkedIn and mailbox account included). Billing is annual, prices are net, and the whole team outside the sourcing seats works in Atlas for free.

Three Atlas Recruiter seats also unlock integrations (ATS, HRIS), data migration, a named contact and an onboarding workshop. If your team sources only now and then, credits can be cheaper than any seat: Atlas Base costs 450 € a year with 5,000 credits, enough for up to 2,500 displayed profiles at 2 credits each, about 0.18 € per profile before contact data (1 credit per email found).

The currencies differ and the tiers are not like-for-like: Lite caps profiles at 500 a month, and only Atlas Recruiter adds LinkedIn outreach and multiple clients. Compare the same role and the same acceptance rubric. In Sprad, the talent pool stays yours when you cancel (full raw-data export included), and AI-checked search across LinkedIn, GitHub, and your own pool, ATS, and LinkedIn plus email outreach share one workspace and one inbox; see Atlas People Search and the agency page. Current prices are on sprad.io/pricing. If LinkedIn is the requirement, use the Juicebox versus LinkedIn Recruiter comparison; for workflow questions, compare a sourcing tool with an ATS module.

Juicebox and Sprad side by side

On search quality, the Recruiting area of the public PeopleSearchBench gives Atlas 73.5 out of 100 in our own re-measurement, converted to the published scale; Juicebox has 65.7 as published.

To tell real AI search from keyword search, look at the speed: if results appear instantly, it is almost always a (semantic) keyword search. Real AI evaluation reads every profile against your requirements. In Sprad, Quick Search returns first results in about 3 seconds, while the deep search takes a few minutes because AI checks each profile. Test any tool on the same role and judge each result against your criteria.

What sets Sprad apart is the outreach, not only the search: LinkedIn and email run automatically, including follow-ups, and every reply lands in one inbox per talent, with a warning if a colleague has already contacted the person. Juicebox, by contrast, sends nothing itself; sequences run through partner tools such as Instantly, Lemlist, or Waalaxy, each with its own subscription. Fair limits on our side: no AI call notetaker, no placement reporting yet, no SMS (WhatsApp is available for candidate communication), the client CRM for agencies is in beta, the deep search takes a few minutes, and Atlas Recruiter costs more per seat than some seat tools.

DACH buying checks before signing

Juicebox states that its data is global and lists Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, and Recruitee integrations on Business. It publishes no euro price list. Request contract currency, VAT handling, payment terms, the data-processing agreement required by Article 28 GDPR, subprocessors, support hours, and data location. Its services agreement says AI output must not be the sole basis of an employment decision and requires human review.

What extra costs come on top of the Juicebox subscription?

Do unused Juicebox credits roll over?

The pricing page does not state it. Ask for the rule in the order form, because rollover decides whether a quiet month wastes money.

Is there a Juicebox promo code or discount?

We found no public promo code on the vendor’s pricing page in October 2026. The standing discount is annual billing, and larger teams negotiate Business.

Does Juicebox charge for every search?

No. Paid plans list unlimited searches. Contact details and exports are metered separately, so reveals, exports, and accepted candidates are the relevant volume.

How many credits does an email or phone number cost?

The plan comparison shows one credit for a personal or professional email and three for a phone number. Verify the deduction for profiles with several data types in a trial.

How many users does Growth allow?

Up to five paid seats. Larger teams need a Business quote, for which Juicebox publishes no price.

Is Juicebox available for DACH recruiting?

The vendor calls its data global and lists Personio and SAP SuccessFactors integrations on Business, but publishes no euro prices. Confirm regional coverage for your roles, GDPR documents, and support before purchase.

Is there a free trial of Juicebox?

There is a Free plan with five one-off contact credits, enough to judge search quality but not to run a campaign. Real use needs a paid Starter, Growth, or Business plan, and annual billing turns a test into a twelve-month contract. Sprad’s free account includes 100 credits a month (200 in the first month) without a card.

Does Juicebox send outreach itself?

No. Juicebox lists email sequences, but domains, mailboxes, deliverability, and replies stay your cost and work, or run through a partner tool with its own subscription. In Sprad, LinkedIn and email outreach run in one inbox.

How does Juicebox pricing compare with Sprad?

Juicebox charges per seat plus contact and export credits; Sprad offers company-wide credits (free start) or flat seats from 79 € per month. For three recruiters that is $537 against 237 € (Recruiter Lite) or 897 € (Atlas Recruiter) per month, with different scope: Lite caps profiles at 500 a month, Atlas Recruiter includes unlimited fair-use search and LinkedIn plus email outreach.

What is a cheaper alternative to Juicebox?

It depends on team size and volume. Sprad Recruiter Lite costs 79 € per seat and month, and company-wide credits start free with 100 a month (200 in the first month). Test both on the same role.
