Juicebox pricing, free plan and limits

AI recruiting platform for outbound sourcing: plain-English candidate search, always-on sourcing agents and email sequences, made in San Francisco.

Best for
Technical recruiter at a fast-growing startup
Not for
Team that needs an applicant tracking system in the same tool

Should you use Juicebox?

Best for recruiting and talent teams that source passive candidates every week and can live with credit caps and a separate agents add-on. A poor fit if you need an applicant tracking system in the same tool. The company reports 5,000+ customers, and its March 2026 Series B valued it at $850M.

Plain-English search across 800M+ profiles, paired with agents that keep sourcing between sessions.

Profile coverage and workflow breadth are hard to copy quickly, but established sourcing platforms and LinkedIn's own network compete on the same data.

Main trade-off

It is a sourcing layer, so ATS export is gated to the Business plan and credits cap monthly use.

How the pricing works, in full

Free costs nothing and limits searches. Starter lists at $99 a seat yearly or $119 monthly, and Growth at $179 yearly or $199 monthly. Business is custom and sold annually only. The Juicebox Agents add-on is $199 per agent a month on any paid plan. Contact credits are one per email reveal and three per phone number, and they do not roll over on monthly billing. See the AI recruiting shelf for other sourcing tools.

Before you commit

  • Contact and export credits cap monthly use, and the docs say they do not roll over on monthly billing.
  • Juicebox Agents is a per-agent monthly add-on on top of the seat price.

Questions about Juicebox

How much does Juicebox cost per seat?

On the pricing page, yearly billing shows Starter at $99 and Growth at $179 per seat a month, and monthly billing shows $119 and $199. Business is custom and annual only. The agents add-on is extra, at $199 for each agent every month. The toggle is labelled 15% off, but the gap differs by plan.

Is Juicebox free to use?

Yes, there is a Free plan with limited searches and AI email templates, and you can set up an agent on it. It gives 5 one-off contact credits and no exports, so it works as a trial rather than a working sourcing seat.

How do Juicebox credits work?

Revealing an email costs one contact credit and a phone number costs three, and adding a profile to a sequence also uses a credit for each new contact detail. Export credits are one per profile, and the docs say you are never charged twice for the same reveal. Credits do not roll over on monthly plans, while annual plans receive the full year's credits up front.

Is Juicebox AI legit?

SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and NYC Local Law 144 all appear on its trust center, where the SOC 2 report is available on request. G2 shows 4.8 out of 5 from 103 reviews, though G2 labels the review shown first as invited by the seller. Funding is a further signal: the company reports $116M raised, and its data-handling terms are in the Data Handling section.

Is PeopleGPT the same as Juicebox?

Yes. The company's llms.txt says PeopleGPT was the former name of Juicebox's search product, and Juicebox now sells search, Agents, sequences and Talent Insights under one name. Some policy text on its trust center still uses the PeopleGPT name.

About Juicebox

Juicebox, built in San Francisco, is a recruiting platform that uses AI for outbound sourcing. David Paffenholz (CEO) and Ishan Gupta founded it in 2022, after Y Combinator. The company says it has raised $116M, including an $80M Series B led by DST Global on 10 March 2026 at an $850M valuation, with Sequoia Capital having led its earlier Series A. Its search product was called PeopleGPT; the company's own llms.txt now describes that as the former name.

Read the full background

A recruiter describes the person they need in plain English, and Juicebox searches 800M+ profiles from dozens of data sources, ranks the matches and writes a summary of why each fits, instead of asking for a Boolean string. Juicebox Agents, a paid add-on, keep sourcing in the background, learn from which candidates a recruiter approves or rejects, and can email or shortlist candidates automatically. Outreach runs as email sequences, and the October 2026 Smarter Sequences update added Composer, a chat assistant for drafting them. Talent Insights adds market analytics on a talent pool. The company's August 2026 launches included Agent 4.0, Juicebox for Slack, MCP connectors and an Intake Recorder that turns a recruiter and hiring manager conversation into context for the agents.

It is built for recruiters, in-house talent teams and staffing agencies. The company's About page names 5,000+ customers, from startups such as Lovable, Cursor and Harvey to enterprises such as Notion, Ramp, Reddit and SpaceX. Juicebox connects to 100+ applicant tracking, CRM and email tools including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and Bullhorn, but its docs say direct ATS and CRM export is a Business plan feature, while Starter and Growth export to CSV or PDF. Its trust center lists Anthropic as an AI model provider.

Where it falls short: teams that want an applicant tracking system and sourcing in one tool, since Juicebox feeds an ATS rather than replacing one, and teams that expect unlimited contact reveals below the Business plan, because credits cap monthly use. Juicebox's own category guide names SeekOut, hireEZ and Findem as established sourcing platforms, Gem as a recruiting CRM and LinkedIn Recruiter as the network-native option; none of them has a Hokai record yet. A G2 reviewer at a 12-person company said month-to-month billing made Juicebox easier to commit to than LinkedIn Recruiter, though that review was invited by the seller. Hokai lists the category under AI recruiting, and the best AI recruiting tools guide compares it with other options.

Recent moves: Juicebox expanded to London in September 2026 and, on 6 October 2026, agreed to acquire Fetcher's assets as Fetcher retired its platform.

A look without an account was not possible. On 12 November 2026 the try-it-out search box on Juicebox's homepage passed a sample query to a sign-up page, so results are visible only to account holders, and Hokai's rating rests on the pricing page, the docs, the trust center and G2 reviews rather than a hands-on trial.

Pick Juicebox when sourcing passive candidates is a weekly job and monthly credit caps are workable; pick an applicant tracking system, or one of the platforms named above, when the pipeline itself needs managing, and skip it for a one-off hire.
