Spott's published pricing starts at $119 per recruiter per month for the Core plan (billed annually), rising to $179 for Pro and roughly €149 for Enterprise — all current as of September 2026, according to Spott's own pricing page. That sticker price doesn't include data enrichment credits, and the gap between monthly and annual billing is large enough to matter for a team of any size.
Spott's three plans, in full
Spott sells three tiers, all per recruiter seat, with a roughly 20% discount for annual billing over monthly.
| Plan | Price (annual) | Price (monthly) | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $119/user/mo | $149/user/mo | AI-native ATS/CRM, AI notetaker, AI search & matching, unified inbox (email, WhatsApp, SMS), CV reformatting and shortlists |
| Pro | $179/user/mo | $219/user/mo | Everything in Core, plus automations, the marketing suite, multi-channel outreach sequences, data enrichment |
| Enterprise | €149/user/mo | €189/user/mo | Everything in Pro, plus custom contracts and DPA, advanced roles and permissions, multi-office management, a dedicated point of contact |
One detail worth noting: the Enterprise tier is the only one priced in euros on Spott's own site, while Core and Pro are quoted in dollars — a small inconsistency, but useful to know if you're budgeting in EUR from the start. Spott doesn't publish a minimum seat count or a self-serve trial length; access runs through a demo call or an onboarding form.
What the plan price doesn't cover
- Enrichment credits. Spott's waterfall enrichment for email, phone and LinkedIn data runs on a separate credit model that isn't priced publicly anywhere on the site — you only see the real number once you're a customer.
- The jump to Pro for outreach. If your agency wants multi-channel sequences or the automations engine, Core isn't enough — that's a $60/user/month step up to Pro, whether you use one automation or fifty.
- Migration time. Spott's own case studies cite go-lives "in under four weeks" — free setup on paper, but still real staff hours spent mapping data and retraining a team.
- Enterprise features behind a quote. Multi-office management, custom DPAs and advanced roles sit in a tier that, in practice, is sold through a sales conversation rather than a fixed list price.
What 5 and 15 recruiters really pay
A team of 5, on Core
On annual billing, 5 recruiters × $119 comes to $595/month, or $7,140/year (about €6,570 at current exchange rates). Paying monthly instead costs 5 × $149 = $745/month, or $8,940/year — annual billing saves roughly €2,000 a year for a team this size. If the agency also wants outreach sequences and needs Pro, the annual bill becomes 5 × $179 = $895/month, or $10,740/year (about €9,880).
A team of 15, on Core
The same math scales linearly: 15 × $119 = $1,785/month, or $21,420/year (about €19,700) on annual billing. On Pro, it's 15 × $179 = $2,685/month, or $32,220/year (about €29,640). None of these numbers include enrichment credits, which grow with how aggressively the team searches for and updates contacts — Spott gives no public per-credit price to add on top.
Is Spott worth it?
For an agency that's currently paying for a CRM, a call recorder, an outreach tool and a data enrichment service separately, Spott's pitch is real: one workspace instead of five invoices. A G2 reviewer who moved from Bullhorn and then Vincere put it plainly — he'd been paying "$500+/user/month" once all the bolt-on tools were added up, and "nothing came close" once he tried Spott. At $119-179/user/month with AI included, Spott sits roughly in line with Loxo and Recruiterflow, and well under enterprise interview-intelligence tools like BrightHire or HireVue.
Where the model gets expensive is idle capacity: every seat costs the same $119-179 whether that recruiter runs twenty searches a month or none. For a boutique agency with uneven workload across recruiters, that's money spent on capacity rather than results.
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, and rejected profiles cost nothing. A 5-recruiter team pays 295 €/month as its base (3,540 €/year) before any usage; a 15-recruiter team pays 885 €/month (10,620 €/year). On top, the team spends only on the searches and interviews it runs: a full application review costs about 3 credits (roughly €0.21), an external search across the 1B+ profile network costs 2 credits per profile that passes the check (at most 100 credits per run), and every account gets 200 free credits every month, no credit card required. For a team that doesn't run outreach sequences every single day, that difference stays in the agency's pocket rather than being paid for as idle seat capacity.

Two more options worth a look
Recruit CRM is the closest price match to Sprad's base fee at $95/user/month billed annually (about €87) — a solid, flexible ATS/CRM, but without Spott's unified inbox, built-in AI notetaker or any external sourcing beyond a Chrome-extension import. Manatal is the cheapest seat price in the category at $15/user/month annually (about €14), useful for a lean team on a tight budget — but according to user reviews on Capterra, its AI suggestions "often miss the mark" for more nuanced hiring decisions, and reporting is thinner than Spott's or Sprad's.
FAQ
How much does Spott cost per recruiter?
$119/user/month on the Core plan billed annually ($149/month if billed monthly), as of September 2026. Pro costs $179/month annually, and Enterprise is quoted at €149/month annually.
Does Spott charge extra for AI features?
No — Spott explicitly includes AI matching, notetaking and outreach-drafting token spend in every plan, which is a real point of difference from ATS vendors that quote AI search as a separate, custom-priced add-on.
Is there a free trial for Spott?
Spott doesn't publish a self-serve trial length. Access starts with a demo call or an onboarding form rather than an instant sign-up.
What's the cheapest real alternative to Spott?
Manatal has the lowest seat price (about €14/month), but Sprad's 59 €/month base plus pay-per-use credits usually ends up cheaper overall for teams that don't run outreach every day, because you stop paying for capacity nobody used.
Does Spott have DACH or German pricing?
No. Its Enterprise tier happens to be quoted in euros, but Spott doesn't publish DACH-specific pricing or offer a German interface.
The bigger question behind the price tag
A per-seat CRM price only tells half the story. Cancel LinkedIn Recruiter or an ATS contract tomorrow, and the candidate pool built inside it usually leaves with the subscription. Sprad's pricing is built around the opposite idea: your network becomes a talent pool that stays with your agency, 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.
