The detailed comparison

Category by category, what each tool does. Where the other one is better, we say so.

Pricing model

RecruitEasy

One flat price per firm: Solo $29 USD (1 user), Team $69 USD (5 users), Business $149 USD (15 users), Enterprise on quote. In Canadian dollars: $39, $95 and $199. Adding a recruiter does not change the bill as long as you stay within the plan. AI features use monthly credits included in each plan (50, 200 or 800).

Manatal

Manatal bills per user per month: Professional $19 USD ($15 annually), up to 15 jobs and 10,000 candidates; Enterprise $39 USD ($35), unlimited jobs and candidates; Enterprise Plus $59 USD ($55), with advanced reporting, API and candidate portal; Custom on request. The entry price is low, and it grows with your team.

Example: a firm with 3 recruiters

  • RecruitEasy: $95 CAD per month on the Team plan for all 3 recruiters, and the same price up to 5 users.
  • Manatal: 3 × $19 USD = $57 USD / month on Professional ($45 USD billed annually). If your database passes 10,000 candidates or 15 jobs, you need Enterprise: 3 × $39 = $117 USD / month.

For 3 recruiters and a small database, Manatal Professional is cheaper. With 4 or 5 users, or a database over 10,000 candidates, RecruitEasy's flat price comes out ahead.

Monthly prices before tax, without add-ons. Currencies differ based on what each vendor shows publicly.

AI matching

RecruitEasy

For every new job, RecruitEasy rereads your database and resurfaces the candidates who already match. Every score (a whole number from 0 to 100) comes with a plain-language explanation: skills and experience. You see why a profile comes up, and you decide who to call.

Manatal

Manatal offers AI candidate recommendations and profile enrichment from the Professional plan. Their pricing page does not detail how each recommendation is explained: ask about it in a demo.

Candidate communication

RecruitEasy

For every candidate you do not move forward with, RecruitEasy drafts a specific, respectful reply. You read it, edit it if needed and approve it before it goes out. Nothing is sent without you. You also get email templates, interview scheduling and team chat.

Manatal

Manatal covers the usual ATS email communication. To see how rejected candidates are informed, and how personalized that is, check their documentation.

Bilingual support and Quebec compliance

RecruitEasy

French and English interface and content from day one. A human in the loop before anything is sent to a candidate (Quebec Law 25, s. 12.1), an audit trail of AI-assisted decisions, and an AI-use disclosure added automatically to public job posts (Ontario ESA requirement, 2026).

Manatal

Manatal is an international, multilingual tool. If you hire in Quebec, check with them how good the French interface is and how their AI features handle Law 25 (automated decisions, informing candidates).

Integrations

RecruitEasy

Chrome extension to import profiles, sign-in with a Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account. No integration marketplace, job board multiposting or Outlook/Google calendar sync yet. We would rather say so than promise it.

Manatal

Manatal connects to 3,000+ apps via Zapier, offers an open API on Enterprise Plus and data migration from your current tool during onboarding. Clearly broader than RecruitEasy today.

Product maturity

RecruitEasy

A young product built in Quebec by a small team. Fewer features and integrations than an established tool, but direct access to the founder and a product focused on three things: your dormant database, the explained score and a reply for every candidate.

Manatal

Manatal is an established product used internationally, with a broader offer (CRM, candidate portal, SSO, advanced reporting depending on plan).

Who each tool is for

RecruitEasy is built for

  • Small recruiting firms and independent recruiters (1 to 15 people) who want a flat price, not a bill per recruiter.
  • Firms with thousands of candidates on file that start from scratch on every mandate.
  • Teams that need to justify a shortlist to a client with a score that explains itself.
  • Firms in Quebec and across Canada that work in French and English and want a human in the loop before every reply.

Manatal is a better fit for

  • Firms that want a client CRM built into the ATS.
  • Very small teams with a modest database, for whom the per-user Professional plan stays cheapest.
  • Teams that work a lot on their phones and want to connect other tools through Zapier.

Moving from Manatal to RecruitEasy

If you can export your candidates from Manatal as CSV or Excel, you import them as is into RecruitEasy.

  1. 1Export your candidate list as CSV or Excel.
  2. 2Import the file into RecruitEasy and map each column to the right field.
  3. 3On your next job, imported candidates show up with their explained score.

In RecruitEasy you import a CSV or Excel file (.csv, .xlsx, .xls), map each column to a field (email, name, title, skills, experience, and so on), check a preview, then run the import. Imported candidates are then enriched and indexed in the background so they show up in recommendations. You can also add PDF resumes, which are parsed automatically, and import LinkedIn profiles with the Chrome extension.

Frequently asked questions

Is RecruitEasy cheaper than Manatal?

Not always. For 1 to 3 users with a small database, Manatal Professional ($19 USD per user per month) costs less. RecruitEasy bills per firm: $69 USD ($95 CAD) for up to 5 users. From 4 users, or if you need unlimited jobs and candidates at Manatal, the flat price comes out ahead.

How does the AI matching differ?

Both recommend candidates. RecruitEasy rereads your database for every new job and shows a plain-language explanation for each score, based on skills and experience. You see why a profile comes up, and you decide.

Does RecruitEasy have a CRM to manage my clients?

No. RecruitEasy focuses on candidates: dormant database, explained score, pipeline and replies. If tracking clients and leads in the same tool is essential for you, Manatal offers it.

Can I import my candidates from Manatal?

Yes, from a CSV or Excel file. You map the columns to RecruitEasy fields, check the preview and run the import. Imported candidates then show up in recommendations.
