Blosto vs. Juicebox: which AI recruiting platform fits your team?

Juicebox (PeopleGPT) and Blosto solve the same problem: finding candidates who don't apply on their own, evaluating them against a role, and reaching out. Juicebox is the more mature platform with a large published dataset. Blosto is a newer alternative focused on visible evaluation reasoning and agents included in the plan price rather than sold as an add-on. This page compares them honestly — including where Juicebox is simply ahead today.

How Blosto approaches it differently

Juicebox leads with scale: a very large multi-source database, published metrics, and a broad integration list. That is genuinely valuable, and if those are your deciding factors today, Juicebox is the safer pick.

Blosto leads with the evaluation itself. Every candidate is scored against criteria created for your role, and the reasoning is written out where recruiters and hiring managers can read, edit, and challenge it. The goal is not the longest list — it is a shortlist your team actually trusts.

On seat price the two are close — Juicebox starts a little lower at $119 vs Blosto's $149 — but Blosto includes AI sourcing agents in the Team plan instead of charging $199 per agent/month as an add-on, so once agents are part of your workflow, Blosto costs less overall. And the free plan lets you judge it on a real role instead of a sales deck.

Questions, answered.

Can I use Blosto and Juicebox side by side?+

Yes. Both are self-serve with free plans, so the cheapest way to decide is to run the same real role through both and compare the shortlists your team would actually contact — before paying for either.

Is Blosto cheaper than Juicebox?+

On seat price alone, no — Juicebox's Starter is $119 per seat/month vs Blosto's $149, and Juicebox Growth is $199 vs Blosto's Team at $219. The picture changes with agents: Blosto includes AI sourcing agents in the Team plan, while Juicebox charges $199 per agent/month as an add-on — so a team running even one agent pays less with Blosto ($219 vs $398 and up).

Does Blosto have as much candidate data as Juicebox?+

Juicebox publishes 800M+ profiles across 30+ sources. Blosto does not publish database size claims and would rather you judge coverage on your actual role: run a search and look at the pool before you commit to either tool.

Does Blosto integrate with my ATS like Juicebox does?+

Not yet. Juicebox lists 41 ATS and 21 CRM integrations. Blosto focuses on the work before the ATS — finding, evaluating, and reaching candidates — and your ATS stays the system of record once someone enters your process.

The fairest test is a real role.
