Bullhorn vs Augtal

For independent recruiters, Augtal is the clear winner over Bullhorn—it offers a free forever plan while Bullhorn starts at $99/user/month with no free tier. Both include ATS and CRM functionality, but Augtal adds AI candidate ranking at no extra cost.

Bullhorn charges $99-$199/user/month, meaning a solo recruiter pays $1,200-$2,400 annually before closing a single deal. Augtal's free tier eliminates this overhead entirely, putting every dollar of placement fees in your pocket.

Augtal's AI candidate ranking and Signals feature give solo recruiters capabilities typically locked behind enterprise paywalls—all free, with no annual contracts or implementation delays. For cost-conscious independent recruiters, Augtal is the clear choice.

1. Export your Bullhorn data (candidates, clients, placements) and import it into Augtal.
2. Invite your team to the new Augtal account and complete onboarding.
3. Familiarize yourself with Augtal's ATS, CRM, and AI candidate ranking features.
4. Start using Augtal to manage your full recruitment lifecycle, from prospecting to placement.
5. Enjoy the cost savings of Augtal's free forever plan, keeping more of your placement fees.
