Pin's Solo Plan Is Annual Only: $1,200 Up Front for One Seat

Pin's pricing page, checked on November 11, 2026, lists a Solo plan at $100 per month, per user, "billed annually." Switch the page to Monthly and the Solo card says it is "not available on monthly billing." So the cheapest paid way into Pin for an independent recruiter is a $1,200 commitment, paid for the year. The next plan up, Professional, is $135 per seat per month billed annually or $179 on monthly billing. For a solo desk deciding whether to try an AI sourcing agent, the real question is not $100 versus $135. It is whether you can commit a year before you know it works for your searches.

The plans as displayed

Free is $0, "free forever," with 5 contact lookup credits per week, 1 job position, 1 AI agent, email-only sequences, and an AI notetaker.

Solo is labeled "Annual only." It is $100 per month, per user, billed annually, for a single seat. It includes unlimited job positions, 500 contact lookup credits, 2 AI agents, multi-channel sequences, and the AI notetaker.

Professional is $135 per month, per user, billed annually, or $179 per month on monthly billing. It includes 2 AI agents per user, 1,000 credits per seat per month, team collaboration and a shared inbox, multi-channel sequences, advanced agent sourcing, and the AI notetaker. The page describes it as "for agencies and hiring teams running multiple roles."

Enterprise is custom, with unlimited seats, unlimited contact lookup credits, unlimited AI agents, "ATS integration included," and a dedicated account manager.

Pin's Solo plan is $100 a month billed annually and is not offered monthly. The cheapest month-to-month paid plan is Professional at $179 per seat.

The discount checks out on Professional

The Annual toggle carries a "25% off" label. Professional at $135 annually against $179 monthly is a discount of about 24.6%, close to the label. That is our arithmetic from the page. Solo has no monthly price, so the discount cannot be checked for it.

Solo's credits have no stated period

The Solo card says "500 contact lookup credits." It does not say per month, per year, or one-off. The Professional card says "1,000 credits per seat / month." The Free card says "5 contact lookup credits per week." Every other plan states a period. Solo does not. Before you sign a year, ask whether the 500 credits are monthly or for the whole term. The difference is either 6,000 lookups a year or 500.

ATS integration: read the card and the FAQ together

The Enterprise card lists "ATS integration included." The FAQ answers "Does Pin integrate with my ATS?" with a broad yes: "Pin integrates with 120+ applicant tracking systems including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Bullhorn, iCIMS, and Jobvite. Candidates, notes, and activity sync automatically." The page does not say whether Solo and Professional users get that sync. For an agency desk on Bullhorn, that is the deciding question. Ask it in writing.

What the FAQ says about LinkedIn

One FAQ is titled "Is Pin affected by LinkedIn closing their account?" The answer says Pin "doesn't depend on LinkedIn," that customers are not affected, and that Pin "searches 850M+ profiles across dozens of data sources." We did not investigate the LinkedIn account issue itself. The point for a buyer is that Pin positions itself as independent of LinkedIn data, so your sourcing should not stop if a LinkedIn-dependent tool does.

Agency fit

The FAQ says staffing agencies, boutique firms, and independent recruiters use Pin "to run searches and outreach for multiple clients from one account." Professional describes team collaboration and a shared inbox. Pin sends email from your connected Gmail or Outlook account, in your name, and every automation is optional. If your clients care whose name is on outreach, that is a helpful default.

How to test before you commit

The Free plan gives you one job position, one AI agent, and five contact lookups a week. That is enough to see whether Pin's sourcing returns the right profiles for one real search. Pick your hardest open role, run it for a week, and count how many candidates you would actually contact. If that number is low, a year of Solo will not fix it. If it is high, the next question is credits and ATS sync, not price.

Who should skip this

If you want to test Pin for a month on live searches before committing, Solo will not let you. Use Free for a week on one role, then decide between a year of Solo and monthly Professional. If you need guaranteed ATS sync on a self-serve plan, the page does not promise it.

Budget fields

Record plan, billing mode, the year's total, credits and their period, ATS sync status for your plan, AI agent count, and the access date. For a solo recruiter, the comparison is $1,200 for a year of Solo against $179 a month for Professional, cancellable.
