Manatal Pricing Plans: Manatal Cost per User, the 15-Job Cap and What Each Plan Includes

Manatal costs $15, $35 or $55 per user per month on annual billing for its Professional, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus plans, and $19, $39 or $59 billed monthly. A Custom plan above those is priced on demand. Manatal's FAQ says the fees are charged net of tax and that it does not charge any tax to customers located outside Singapore, so a US agency sees the list price on the invoice. Whether your state expects use tax on software subscriptions is a question for your accountant, not the vendor.

The pricing is per user, and Manatal counts every login as a user: administrators, managers, consultants and recruiters. Hiring managers are the exception. Every plan includes unlimited hiring managers, which matters to an agency sharing shortlists with clients, because those client users do not add to the bill.

Three of the four plans carry a dollar figure. That makes Manatal one of the most transparent vendors in the category. Across the eleven vendors in our recruiting software pricing comparison, only 19 of 45 plans print a price, and Bullhorn prices two of thirteen products.

Enterprise Plus, at $55 per user per month. This is the detail most Manatal pricing summaries skip. The plan comparison grid on manatal.com marks the Zapier and n8n integration, Open API access and the MCP server that connects ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants to your account data as Enterprise Plus only. Professional and Enterprise have none of the three.

For an agency that runs anything beside the ATS, whether a payroll system, a time and billing tool, a BI dashboard or an outreach platform, that gate is the real price step. Moving five users from Enterprise to Enterprise Plus costs $20 a seat a month, which is $1,200 a year, and the other things that come with it (SSO, user groups, a report builder, candidate portal, priority support) may or may not be things you need. Ten users, $2,400 a year.

There are two ways around it. Manatal does include native Outlook and Gmail integration, calendar sync, an email marketing integration and a document signing integration on every plan, so some workflows never need Zapier at all. And tools that take a CSV file do not need the API: Manatal's data import accepts CSV and JSON, and ColdOutreach imports a prospect list from a CSV with the addresses validated on the way in, so you can run outreach beside Manatal Enterprise without paying for Enterprise Plus.

Five users on annual billing pay $900 a year on Professional, $2,100 on Enterprise and $3,300 on Enterprise Plus. Billed monthly, the same team pays $1,140, $2,340 and $3,540. Ten users double every figure: $1,800, $4,200 and $6,600 on annual billing. That is straight arithmetic from the published rates, before add-ons.

For scale, the same five seats cost $1,500 to $4,500 a year on Zoho Recruit's staffing edition, $5,700 on Recruit CRM Pro, $5,940 on Bullhorn Starter and $7,140 on Recruiterflow Platform. Manatal is the cheapest published agency ATS on every tier. Even Enterprise Plus at $3,300 undercuts Bullhorn Starter, and Bullhorn has no integrations marketplace until Core at $165.

Not as a multi-step sequence. Manatal lists mass emailing, customizable and shareable email templates, SMS recruitment, an email marketing integration and a LinkedIn sourcing extension on every plan, and workflow automations from Enterprise. Nowhere on the plan grid is a series of follow-ups that runs on a schedule and stops when the person replies. That is not a criticism of the ATS, it is a category boundary: Manatal is a system of record with good sourcing, and the reply-aware sequence lives in a different kind of tool.

For an agency that means two separate purchases, and it is worth pricing them separately rather than upgrading the ATS in the hope that the next tier fills the gap. ColdOutreach researches each candidate or hiring manager before it writes, drafts the opener and the follow-ups, and pauses the thread the moment someone replies, from $39 a month on annual billing for the workspace. Try it on a real prospect in the composer at the top of this page. The staffing agency outreach tool page shows how that works for redeployment and client development, and recruitment outreach software beside your ATS covers the setup with a system you already pay for.

For a small or mid-size US agency that wants a clean ATS with a client CRM at a published price, Manatal is hard to beat on cost. Budget $35 a seat, because the 15-job cap on Professional is per account. Budget $55 only if you genuinely need the API, Zapier, SSO or user groups. Then buy outreach separately, because no Manatal tier runs a reply-aware candidate or client sequence, and the $20 step to Enterprise Plus buys integration plumbing, not sending.

If Manatal is on a shortlist, our comparisons run it against the usual alternatives at five and ten seats: Manatal vs Bullhorn pricing, Manatal vs Zoho Recruit pricing, Manatal vs Recruit CRM pricing and Manatal vs Loxo pricing.
