Augtal is the clear choice over Expandi for independent recruiters, offering a free forever plan while Expandi starts at $75/user/month with no free tier. Both include ATS and CRM functionality, but Augtal adds AI candidate ranking at no extra cost.
Expandi's $75-$150/user/month pricing means a solo recruiter pays $900-$1,800 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. This empowers independent recruiters to compete with larger firms at a fraction of the cost.
