Our verdict
Juicebox suits recruiters and agencies that want fast natural-language candidate search, with a Free plan to try and paid seats from $99 a month on yearly billing. The trade-offs are capped contact credits, ATS/CRM integration only on the custom-priced Business plan, and candidate data from public sources that can lag.
Best for: Recruiters and small agencies who want to search by describing the role instead of writing Boolean strings
Skip it if: Buyers who need predictable costs: contact credits are capped, each agent adds $199 a month and list prices have changed several times
Pros
- Natural-language search over what Juicebox says is 800M+ profiles from 30+ data sources
- A Free plan, and per-seat paid plans from $99 a month on yearly billing ($119 monthly)
- The pricing page lists 41 ATS and 21 CRM integrations (on Business); every paid plan has CSV export and Gmail or Outlook sending
Cons
- According to Pin (a competitor), list prices have changed several times since 2025 and the Growth seat cap was cut from 10 to 5
- Contact credits are capped: 500 a month on Starter, 1,500 per seat on Growth; a phone number costs 3 credits, an email 1
All pros and cons · Who is it for?
More pros

- ATS/CRM integration is limited to Business (custom price, annual only); English-only interface
Best for

Experience & key features
What is Juicebox?
Juicebox is an AI recruiting platform from Juicebox App, Inc. in San Francisco; its search product is also marketed as PeopleGPT. According to Y Combinator, the company was founded in 2022 in the S22 batch by David Paffenholz and Ishan Gupta and has over 5,000 customers. Recruiters describe the role in plain language and get back a ranked list of candidates.
Key features
The homepage lists natural-language candidate search, Juicebox Agents that source continuously in the background, Talent Insights, personalized outreach sequences across email, social and calls, and a Chrome extension for contact details. Paid plans export to CSV and send email through Gmail or Outlook. Business adds integrations with the 41 ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday…) and 21 CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot…) listed on the pricing page.
Pricing and value
The pricing page lists prices in USD: Starter at $119 and Growth at $199 per seat per month on monthly billing, or $99 and $179 on yearly billing; Business is custom-priced and annual only; Agents add $199 per agent per month. All plans target recruiters and organisations rather than individuals buying for personal use. According to Pin, a competitor, list prices have changed several times since 2025 and real costs with agents can far exceed the seat price, so check the current price before buying.

Who it's for and how it compares
Juicebox suits recruiters and agencies hunting for hard-to-find talent. Apollo.io and Clay are sales data and outreach tools that can also find contacts, whereas Juicebox is built for recruiting. Weigh the contact-credit caps, ATS/CRM sync being limited to Business, changing prices, the quality of public-source data and the English-only interface.

Cancellation & refunds

Privacy
The privacy policy (updated 13 Sep 2026) says Juicebox App, Inc. processes customer data on its customers' behalf and is the responsible party for its candidate search database and website visitor data. Candidate profiles come from public professional information collected by Juicebox and its data partners. Candidates can request access, correction, deletion or removal from search results through a Privacy Center; Juicebox received 37 deletion requests in 2025 and complied with 35 in whole or in part. The policy says customer data is not added to a shared repository and that third-party AI providers such as OpenAI may not train on personal information; it does not say whether Juicebox's own models train on that data, and gives no fixed retention periods. The homepage cites SOC 2 Type II.

A Business customer says the sales demo differed from the plan delivered
Per a compilation by Pin (a competitor), a Business-plan customer wrote on Product Hunt that the ATS integration and hiring-manager seats shown in the demo were missing from the plan they signed.
Read the full account
Pin quotes an August 2025 Product Hunt comment from a one-person team that prepaid a year of Business, saying the sales demo does not accurately reflect what comes with the standard subscription. AppDuo could not open the original comment, and Pin is a direct competitor of Juicebox, so this remains an allegation that has not been independently verified. Juicebox's current pricing page lists ATS/CRM integration and hiring-manager seats under Business. No public response from Juicebox was found.

Why this score
Search works from a plain description of the role, and the pricing FAQ says sign-up to first search takes about 60 seconds. Marked down for an English-only interface and, per Paraform, the trial and error needed to write effective prompts.
Why this score
AI search, background agents, outreach sequences across email, social and calls, Talent Insights, a Chrome extension and SOC 2 Type II. Marked down because ATS/CRM integration, hiring-manager seats and SSO sit only in Business, and no independent comparison with established recruiting-data platforms was found.
Why this score
A Free plan, and Starter at $99 a month on yearly billing or $119 monthly. But contact credits are capped, each agent costs another $199 a month, ATS/CRM sync needs Business, and Pin estimates costs climb quickly with seats and agents (about $22,680 a year for 5 Growth seats with one agent each).
Why this score
The 800M+ profile figure is Juicebox's own; per Pin, Juicebox says just over 200M profiles have contact data. Paraform says data can lag and results skew toward people with large public footprints. No independent benchmark was found.
Why this score
Docs, a help center, chat and email on every plan; priority support with a guaranteed 24-hour response and Slack, plus onboarding, only on Business. No independent review of support quality was found.
Why this score
The policy is clear about Juicebox's role for each kind of data, candidates' deletion rights and how many deletion requests it handled. Marked down because candidate profiles are gathered from public sources without the person signing up, no fixed retention periods are given, and it does not say whether Juicebox's own models train on customer data.
