Spark Hire Recruit Is Priced for Employer Headcount

Spark Hire's applicant tracking plans are built for hiring companies, not for a one-person agency desk shopping for CRM seats. Recruit Pro starts at $335 per month billed annually. Recruit Growth starts at $499 per month billed annually. The FAQ says those starting figures are for companies with up to 50 employees, that pricing scales with employee count above that, that Pro tops out at 200 employees, and that Growth tops out at 500. Enterprise is talk-to-sales. All Recruit ATS plans are annual contracts only.

We opened the public pricing page in early November 2026. The dollars and contract rules below come from that page. We did not complete a sales quote for a staffing firm, and we are not inventing an agency SKU the page does not sell. Spark Hire pricing, accessed November 2026.

What the public ATS tiers actually buy

Pro is labeled for efficient hiring with essential automation and AI. Growth is labeled for scaling hiring with advanced workflows and insights. The comparison table shows unlimited Admin, Recruiter, and Hiring Manager users on Pro, Growth, and Enterprise. AI Resume Review allotments are listed as 6,000 reviews per year on Pro, 24,000 on Growth, and 36,000 on Enterprise. One-way video interviews sit on Pro. Predictive behavioral assessment sits on Growth and Enterprise, not on Pro. E-signature document caps are listed as 100, 200, and 300 documents per year across the three tiers.

Those lines describe an employer recruiting operating system: careers page, multi-board posting, hiring-manager workflows, video screens, and offer documents. They do not describe a boutique search firm's candidate-owner CRM with BD pipeline as the center of gravity. If a client mentions "we are on Comeet" or "we moved to Spark Hire Recruit," treat that as the employer's stack. Do not paste $335 into your own software budget as if it were Recruiterflow or Loxo.

Annual-only is the ATS rule

The pricing page states all Recruit plans are only available under an annual contract. The FAQ repeats that the ATS cannot be purchased month-to-month. That is a different product family from Spark Hire's standalone video interview software, which the same page says can be bought month-to-month or annually starting at $249 per month. Keep ATS and video add-on math on separate notes. A desk that only needs async video for clients is not buying the same thing as a company buying Recruit Growth.

SSO appears as an add-on on Pro and Growth in the table we read, and included on Enterprise. API access is listed as an add-on on Pro and Growth and included on Enterprise. Those lines matter to an HRIS-heavy employer. They rarely decide whether an independent recruiter should buy this ATS for their own firm.

Who this price is not for

Skip Spark Hire Recruit as your agency system of record if you need a published per-recruiter seat for a firm of one or two billers. Skip it if you need a rolling monthly cancel on the ATS itself. Skip it if your work is contingency search without hiring-manager portal workflows. The product can still matter when your client lives inside it and you need agency-user access rules, but that is a client-process question, not a license you should assume from the public employer tiers.

Spark Hire Recruit publishes employer headcount tiers on annual contracts. It is not a boutique agency seat price you can self-serve from the same page.

In our pricing pass this week, the useful move was to write two columns: client ATS, desk ATS. Spark Hire numbers belong in the client column when the employer uses them. Your desk column still needs a tool priced for search firms. Mixing the columns produces a fake "market rate for recruiting software" that no vendor on either side actually quoted you.

Comeet branding versus the buy path

Buyers who still search for Comeet by name often land on Spark Hire Recruit pricing. The public page we budgeted is Spark Hire's ATS family. Ask sales which product name appears on the order form before you compare legacy Comeet reviews to today's $335 and $499 starting figures. A rename without a clear SKU creates fake apples-to-apples comparisons across old blog posts.

Unlimited hiring-manager users look generous on an employer plan and irrelevant if your firm never seats clients in your ATS. Count only the seats and meters you will actually turn on. AI resume review allotments of 6,000 or 24,000 per year are employer screening capacity. They are not InMail credits for your BD desk.

If a peer says "ATS software is about three hundred a month," ask whether they mean Spark Hire Recruit Pro for a company under fifty employees on an annual contract. That sentence is true for one buyer and false for a solo agency comparing rolling CRM seats. Force the buyer label before you accept the number.
