What is Manatal?
Manatal is an applicant tracking system and recruitment CRM that adds AI features such as candidate enrichment, resume parsing, candidate scoring and an in-app AI Copilot. It runs as a web application with a Chrome extension for sourcing, and offers an MCP server for connecting tools like Claude and ChatGPT.
Who it's for
Recruiting teams and agencies that want to manage jobs, candidates and a career page in one tool with per-user pricing. Manatal says you can add as many users as you want, each with their own permissions.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- Manatal's help center lists ten AI features, including AI Copilot, AI Recommendations (scores and ranks candidates against job criteria), AI Parsing of resumes, AI Advanced Search and AI job description generation.
- The pricing page's comparison table lists AI Candidate Enrichment, AI Recommendations, AI Copilot and AI semantic search in all three paid plans; the help center says enrichment gathers data from 20+ public platforms.
- Manatal says Enterprise and Enterprise Plus have unlimited jobs and candidates, and lists unlimited hiring managers on the plans.
- Manatal's help center states that it does not use your data to train its AI models.
- The privacy page says the platform is hosted on AWS in the US, encrypts candidate databases, backs up daily and shows GDPR, CCPA and SOC 2 badges.
- Manatal offers a 14-day free trial with no card required; adding a card during the trial does not forfeit the remaining days.
Limitations
- There is no permanent free plan. Professional is capped at 15 jobs per account and 10,000 candidates.
- Workflow automations start at Enterprise. The MCP server, Open API, SSO, user groups, custom permissions and priority support are listed under Enterprise Plus.
- Prices are per user. The AI Interviewer is a separate add-on available on request, with credits deducted per completed interview (each retake uses one more credit); its price is chosen when enabling it and is not published on the pages read.
- Trial accounts cannot use job board posting, Manatal-domain email, mass emailing, email automations, AI-generated job descriptions or the GDPR consent request tool. Full access starts after the first payment and account verification, which the pricing page says typically takes up to three working days.
- The pages read do not state a refund or cancellation policy. The help center says AI outputs may be incomplete or inaccurate and that users stay responsible for hiring decisions; Singapore customers pay 9% GST on top of fees.

Prices were read from Manatal's pricing page and its help-center FAQ, which labels $15, $35 and $55 as billed annually in USD. The pricing page does not label the $19, $39 and $59 set, so those are read as monthly billing by inference (a Pin comparison article, written by a competitor, lists the same figures as monthly).
