Juicebox — the AI-native sourcing tool built around PeopleGPT, not the EV charging brand of the same name — starts at $99 per seat per month on annual billing for the Starter plan ($119 billed monthly), rising to $179/month annually for Growth ($199 monthly), as of September 2026, according to Juicebox's own pricing page. That published price covers one seat on Starter; a team of any size quickly runs into the Growth tier, contact-credit limits, or the separately billed Agents add-on.
Juicebox's plans, in full
Juicebox sells three published tiers plus a paid add-on, all billed per seat with roughly 17% off for annual billing over monthly.
| Plan | Price (annual) | Price (monthly) | Contact credits/month | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | — | — | 0 | Demo access only, heavily limited |
| Starter | $99/seat/mo (~91 €) | $119/seat/mo | 500 | 1 seat, natural-language search, 41 ATS integrations |
| Growth | $179/seat/mo (~165 €) | $199/seat/mo | 1,500 | Multiple seats, more credits |
| Business | Custom | Custom | Custom | Enterprise scale, dedicated support |
| Juicebox Agents (add-on) | $199/agent/mo | $199/agent/mo | Unlimited | Autonomous continuous sourcing per role |
Starter is built for a single recruiter — the plan includes exactly one seat, so any agency with more than one person sourcing candidates has to move to Growth just to add a second login, not because Growth's extra credits are needed yet.
What the plan price doesn't cover
- Contact credits don't roll over. Starter's 500 and Growth's 1,500 monthly credits (used for email verification) reset every month — unused credits are simply gone, and a heavy sourcing month can't borrow from a quiet one.
- Juicebox Agents cost extra, per agent. The autonomous, continuous-sourcing add-on is $199 per agent per month, stacked on top of the seat price — run Starter plus two Agents and the bill is $99 + $199 × 2 = $497/month before any other usage.
- Bulk outreach needs a separate tool. Juicebox finds and verifies contacts but sends nothing itself; sequencing runs through partner integrations like Instantly, Lemlist or Waalaxy, each with its own subscription.
- Business tier is quote-only. Larger teams that outgrow Growth's published pricing move into a custom-quoted tier with no public number to plan around.
What 5 and 15 recruiters really pay
A team of 5, on Growth
Since Starter caps out at one seat, a 5-recruiter team needs Growth: 5 × $179 = $895/month on annual billing, or $10,740/year (roughly €9,880). Paying monthly instead costs 5 × $199 = $995/month, or $11,940/year (about €10,985) — annual billing saves close to €1,100 a year at this size. None of this includes Juicebox Agents; adding even one autonomous agent per recruiter would roughly double the bill.
A team of 15, on Growth
The published Growth rate scales to 15 × $179 = $2,685/month, or $32,220/year (roughly €29,640) on annual billing. Juicebox doesn't publish a seat cap for Growth, but at 15 seats many vendors quietly push larger teams toward a custom Business quote instead — so treat this as an estimate from the public price list, not a guaranteed rate at that scale.
Is Juicebox worth it?
For a solo recruiter or a very small team that finds Boolean search tedious, Juicebox's pitch holds up: natural-language queries like "fullstack engineers in Berlin who used React in the last 2 years" replace long keyword strings, and reviewers on G2 and Product Hunt consistently call the search "a game-changer" — see the full Juicebox reviews breakdown for the details. At $99/seat/month annually, it undercuts LinkedIn Recruiter Lite ($140/month) and sits well below hireEZ ($494/month) or SeekOut (~$149/month).
The model gets expensive fast the moment an agency wants more than one seat or any autonomous sourcing: Growth's per-seat price applies to every recruiter even if some search rarely, and the Agents add-on's $199/agent/month is a separate, uncapped line item on top of the base plan.
A cheaper way to the same job
Sprad: pay per seat, then only for what happens
Sprad charges 59 € per recruiter per month for the ATS and the agency's own talent pool, then bills searches, outreach and interviews by credit — only when they actually happen, with no separate add-on for continuous sourcing. A 5-recruiter team pays 295 €/month as its base (3,540 €/year); a 15-recruiter team pays 885 €/month (10,620 €/year) — both well under Juicebox's Growth pricing for the same headcount, before Juicebox's credits or Agents add-on are even factored in. On top, usage is billed at roughly 6–8 cents per credit: a search costs 2 credits per profile that passes the check, a full CV review costs 3 credits, and a 5-minute voice-screening interview costs 28 credits. Every account also gets 200 free credits a month, no credit card required, and rejected profiles cost nothing. Unlike Juicebox, that same subscription includes an owned talent pool that survives a cancellation. Full numbers: sprad.io/industry/recruitment-agencies.
Two more options worth a look
LinkedIn Recruiter Lite costs $140/month on annual billing (confirmed on LinkedIn's own help center), with a mandatory one-year commitment and only 30 InMail credits included — pricier than Juicebox Starter, but with by far the largest professional network to search. XING TalentManager, at around 366 €/month, is the DACH-native alternative in this category; it lacks Juicebox's natural-language search and AI depth, but comes with German-market data and a German interface that Juicebox doesn't offer.
FAQ
How much does Juicebox cost per recruiter?
$99/seat/month on Starter billed annually ($119/month if billed monthly), as of September 2026. Growth costs $179/month annually per seat, and Business is quote-only.
Does Juicebox charge extra for its AI agents?
Yes — the autonomous "Juicebox Agents" feature for continuous sourcing is a separate add-on at $199 per agent per month, on top of the base seat price.
Is there a free trial for Juicebox?
Juicebox offers a limited free demo tier rather than a full-featured trial; real usage requires a paid Starter, Growth or Business plan.
What's the cheapest real alternative to Juicebox?
Sprad's 59 €/month base plus pay-per-use credits usually ends up cheaper than Juicebox Growth for teams of more than one recruiter, because Sprad doesn't charge a flat per-seat fee for every login.
Does Juicebox have DACH or German pricing?
No. Juicebox's interface and pricing are US-dollar-based and English-first; XING TalentManager and Sprad are the two options in this category with a native German product.
The bigger question behind the price tag
A per-seat sourcing tool price only tells half the story. Cancel Juicebox tomorrow, and the candidates it found leave with the subscription unless you've already exported them. Sprad's pricing is built around the opposite idea: your agency's network becomes a talent pool that stays with you, searchable across more than a billion external profiles in the same workspace as your ATS, screening and outreach — starting with 200 free credits a month and no credit card. See what that looks like for your team size at sprad.io/industry/recruitment-agencies.
