Manatal costs $15 per user per month on its Professional plan billed annually, or $19 monthly. Enterprise costs $35 or $39, Enterprise Plus $55 or $59, and a Custom plan is quoted on request. Prices have not changed since at least January 2025, and there are no setup fees or seat minimums.
Manatal is one of the lowest-priced AI recruiting platforms, serving agencies and in-house teams from its base in Singapore. This guide sets out what each plan includes, the paid add-ons, the terms, and what a five-person agency would pay. It was last updated on 15 October 2026.
What are Manatal's published prices?
Per user per month, in USD, excluding tax. Singapore tax residents pay 9% GST on top.
| Plan | Annual billing | Monthly billing | Limits and additions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $15 | $19 | 15 jobs and 10,000 candidates |
| Enterprise | $35 | $39 | Unlimited jobs and candidates, plus workflow automations |
| Enterprise Plus | $55 | $59 | MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, Zapier and n8n, open API, candidate and employee portals, custom permissions, advanced report builder, SSO, priority support |
| Custom | On request | On request | Dedicated account manager, phone support, custom integrations and compliance |
What does every Manatal plan include?
A lot of Manatal's AI is on every plan, without credits: AI candidate recommendations and scoring, AI job descriptions, an AI Copilot assistant, semantic search and resume parsing and formatting. Every plan also includes a recruitment CRM for clients and deals, mass email and SMS, a sourcing Chrome extension with a profile database, contact finding, a careers page and job board posting, GDPR, CCPA and PDPA tools, reporting, migration support, mobile access through a progressive web app, and unlimited hiring managers and guests.
Which Manatal plan do agencies need?
Professional is capped at 15 jobs and 10,000 candidates across the account, and third-party reviews commonly observe that most agencies need Enterprise at $35 to $39. If you want Manatal's MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, the open API, Zapier or SSO, you need Enterprise Plus at $55 to $59. MCP launched as a public beta in January 2026 and costs nothing extra on that plan.
Which Manatal costs sit outside the seat price?
Three add-ons carry unpublished prices:
- AI Interviewer: asynchronous AI video interviews in six languages, bought as monthly or annual credit plans in the app. Third-party reviews confirm the price is quote-only.
- Branded Guest Portal: a custom domain, logo, colours and emails.
- Bring-your-own job posting contracts.
There are no setup fees, and upgrades are pro-rated with no extra fee.
What do Manatal's terms mean?
Subscriptions renew automatically each billing cycle. You can cancel at any time from Administration, and access continues to the end of the paid cycle. Refunds are discretionary and limited to credits for service unavailability under Manatal's terms. Each user takes a paid seat, including suspended users, and Manatal's one-login-per-user policy means simultaneous logins on the same account lock out the other session.
On exit, Manatal's terms provide one free data export a year, in CSV or Excel, for an active account with all invoices paid. The in-app export is not enabled by default, so ask support to switch it on early. Other exports are charged by size and type.
What would a five-person agency pay?
Using published prices for five users over twelve months, before tax and add-ons:
| Option | Annual billing | Monthly billing |
|---|---|---|
| Manatal Professional | $900 | $1,140 |
| Manatal Enterprise | $2,100 | $2,340 |
| Manatal Enterprise Plus | $3,300 | $3,540 |
| Crumblelead | $1,500 | $1,800 |
Manatal Professional is cheaper than Crumblelead, and if it covers your jobs and candidates, that is a real advantage. Enterprise and Enterprise Plus cost more than Crumblelead's single plan. The comparison is about subscription cost, not equal scope: Manatal includes job board posting, a sourcing extension and unlimited hiring managers, which Crumblelead does not. See Crumblelead vs Manatal for the feature comparison.
How has Manatal's pricing changed?
Archived copies of Manatal's pricing page from January 2025 to September 2026 show the same list prices throughout. What changed was packaging: the MCP server was added to Enterprise Plus in January 2026, and AI Interviewer arrived as a paid add-on in late 2025.
Is Manatal good value?
Its users think so. Manatal scores 4.6 out of 5 on GetApp from 142 reviews, with 4.5 for value. Reviewers praise its price, ease of use and AI scoring. Common caveats are that key items such as the API, Zapier, SSO and MCP sit on Enterprise Plus, reporting is lighter on lower tiers, and the 14-day trial is short.
Where Crumblelead fits
Crumblelead costs $30 per user per month, or $25 billed annually, with every feature on one plan, including AI matching and an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, with unlimited candidates. It suits perm-focused small agencies that would otherwise need Manatal's higher plans. Manatal is the better choice when Professional's limits fit your work.
