An All-in-One Manatal Alternative
Manatal is a capable, affordable AI recruitment tool with strong candidate sourcing — but it’s recruitment-only, its entry plan caps jobs and candidates, and pricing is tiered. Beagler runs the whole desk, including invoicing and payroll, from $9.90/user/month with no cap on clients or open jobs.
Why consider a Manatal alternative
Manatal is a well-regarded AI-first ATS, known for candidate enrichment and a LinkedIn sourcing extension, with pricing that starts affordably (around $15/user/month). For sourcing-led recruiting it’s a solid choice — but it’s recruitment-focused, so capabilities like invoicing and payroll aren’t built in, the entry plan limits how many open jobs (around 15) and candidates (around 10,000) you can have, and features sit across tiers.
Beagler is built for agencies that want their entire workflow in one place: the candidate pipeline and CRM, plus invoicing, payroll and expenses — from $9.90/user/month with no cap on open jobs, and the AI (resume parsing and smart matching) included. The trade-off is simple: Manatal leans into AI sourcing add-ons; Beagler gives you the full agency back-office without extra tools or tiers.
