Why people look for Loxo alternatives

  • The published Core price is $149 per user per month, billed annually and paid up front (Loxo pricing page); there is no monthly option shown.
  • Professional, the plan with the 7-day trial, has no public price: Loxo asks you to book a demo to see it.
  • Contact data runs on credits: Professional includes 2,500 per seat a month, and the Boost add-ons above that have no listed price.
  • Enterprise is custom annual agreements only, so larger firms cannot compare cost without a sales process.
  • Free data migration is offered only to teams of 3 or more seats (Loxo pricing page), so solo recruiters move their data themselves.
