◆ Compare · Vouch vs Teamtailor

Vouch vs Teamtailor. Polish, or progress.

Two products, two different bets on what an ATS is for. Here's how we see the split, and the trade-off you're picking when you choose one.

Last updated · 22 May 2026 · Written by the Vouch team

◆ What we built around

Three things, plainly stated.

  1. 01

    Built for the AI era, not retrofitted to it.

    Vouch was an AI assistant first. The operating layer is built to keep up with the assistant, not the other way around. Voice-to-brief, evidence-backed screening, the Notetaker, structured candidate records: same product, one stack.

  2. 02

    Agency and in-house, in the same product.

    Multi-client / multi-organisation workspaces are native, not bolted on. Branded client surfaces, candidate visibility per workspace, agency CRM. If you're an agency, this matters. If you're in-house, you get a product designed by people who understood both sides of the desk.

  3. 03

    Public pricing, self-service kickoff.

    We publish what we charge. Free for 30 credits forever. No per-seat tax, no contract minimum, no procurement dance. The cost is transparent before you talk to anyone.

◆ Questions to ask yourself

Short answers, about us.

  1. 01

    Do you want AI as the operating layer, or as a marketing layer on top of an ATS?

    Vouch is built around an assistant that drafts the brief, screens against your qualifiers with verbatim evidence, and runs the Notetaker on every interview. The careers page is solid, but it's not the headline. The AI does real work, not just better job-ad copy.

  2. 02

    Single brand, or multiple clients / divisions / brands?

    Vouch ships multi-client / multi-organisation workspaces natively, with branded client surfaces and an agency CRM on the way. If you run more than one brand or client, single-tenant tools get painful fast.

  3. 03

    Should every AI score show you the evidence behind it?

    Every Vouch score ships with a verbatim evidence quote, a confidence label, and a click-through to what fed it. Override anything; the override is logged. No opaque 8.5/10, you can defend every shortlist in a debrief.

  4. 04

    Want to start each role from a recording instead of a JD template?

    Vouch reads a voice memo or kickoff call into a structured brief: role, must-haves, comp range, language. You edit, you don't author. That's hours back on every role.

  5. 05

    Want public pricing you can budget against, and the option of a real conversation?

    Vouch publishes its pricing. You can start free, on real roles, before talking to anyone. Want hands-on onboarding? Håkon does the first calls personally. You pick the path, we don't gate the product behind it.

◆ Pricing posture

Vouch

Public pricing. Starter free for life with 30 credits. Growth €249/mo, Scale €499/mo. Usage-metered AI, no per-seat fee, no contract minimum.

Teamtailor

Teamtailor's pricing isn't public. Quotes come from a sales call and scale with company size (number of employees). Expect an annual contract.

◆ When each one fits

Honestly.

Pick Vouch if…

  • You're an agency, or you run multiple brands / divisions / clients.
  • You want AI screening you can interrogate, not just trust.
  • You'd rather buy self-service than via a sales process.

Mostly either / or.

Vouch and Teamtailor cover overlapping ground for in-house teams. Running both is unusual. Pick polish + stability, or AI in the centre. Both are defensible, they're not the same trade-off.

Pick Teamtailor if…

  • You're in-house, single brand, and front-end polish is your priority.
  • Workflow stability matters more to you than AI advantage.
  • You don't need to manage multiple clients or organisations.
