Blosto vs Loxo

Blosto is a web recruiting tool for searching and evaluating candidates before they enter a customer's ATS, which remains the system of record. Users can describe a role in plain language, paste a job description, or use Boolean strings and exact filters. The homepage says the service searches more than 850 million profiles. Candidate scores explain matches against must-haves, preferences, and exclusions with evidence for each criterion. Before committing to a search, recruiters can see how many candidates match combined requirements in a location. Blosto prepares targeted email and LinkedIn sequences for shortlisted candidates, and scheduled follow-ups stop when a candidate replies. Candidates are not contacted without user approval. The product is aimed at in-house recruiters, hiring teams, founders, and agencies, particularly those hiring for technical, specialized, or senior roles. The free start does not require a credit card. Starter costs $125 a month billed annually and includes one seat and 250 shortlist credits per month. Team costs $185 a month billed annually per seat, with up to 10 seats. Scale pricing is custom and includes ATS integration.

Loxo is a recruiting platform that brings together candidate sourcing, recruiting CRM, applicant tracking, outreach, people data, and AI agents. Its talent graph contains more than 850 million people, and every plan includes natural-language search ranked by relevance. Agents can assist with job intake, drafting job descriptions and Skill DNA, building candidate longlists and shortlists, and outreach. Loxo says the automated workflow stops at the shortlist, leaving candidate decisions to a person. The platform is available on the web, through an API, and as an extension. Core includes a Chrome extension; API access is listed for Professional. Core costs $149 a month per user, billed annually and paid up front. Professional costs $199 a month per user on the same billing basis and includes 2,500 monthly credits per seat, pooled across the team; unused credits expire each cycle. A 7-day trial offers full Professional access without a credit card. Enterprise has custom annual pricing.
