Atlas
AI-native "CRMx" that writes the record from your calls and email
Best for: Agency desks — perm, executive search and contract — that want capture and automation instead of CRM data entry
✓Automatic capture is the real differentiator: calls, email and meetings land on the record without anyone typing a note, with transcripts, summaries and actions attached to the right person and company (G2 reviewers, Mar–Aug 2026; vendor site, Sep 2026)
✓Reviewers who ran Bullhorn and Vincere before it single out support response times as the best they've used (G2, Jul 2026)
✕Contract billing, not pay & bill: GP, invoice and payment status are tracked and pushed to Xero, but that link runs one way, there is no payroll, and timesheet capture is not described anywhere Atlas publishes — a desk that pays contractors needs that machinery elsewhere (Atlas team, Sep 2026)
✕Contact enrichment costs a tier up (Premium is $200/user/mo against Basic's $150, paying monthly) and WhatsApp is a paid per-seat add-on (Atlas pricing page and Atlas team, Sep 2026)
Loxo
Talent intelligence platform with an 850M+ profile sourcing database
Best for: Search firms and sourcing-heavy teams that live on outbound
✓Loxo Source, an 850M+ profile talent graph on the Professional tier, can replace LinkedIn Recruiter licenses (vendor pricing page, Sep 2026)
✓Powerful omnichannel outreach (email, SMS, LinkedIn) plus AI notetaker
✕Customers report price increases at renewal with no published cap, and the $149 Core price is sold as a limited-time new-customer offer (vendor pricing page, Sep 2026)
✕Strict contact-data credit limits on lower tiers
Our verdict
Both are pitched at search firms, and both appear on each other's migration lists, but they solve different halves of a search. Loxo's bet is data: Loxo Source, an 850M+ profile talent graph, plus built-in email, SMS and LinkedIn outreach that can replace a LinkedIn Recruiter licence. That is defensible if it retires other subscriptions and expensive if not: Loxo Source sits on the $199/user/mo Professional tier (Core, without it, is $149), on a mandatory annual term where seats added mid-term are billed for a full year. Atlas has no sourcing database of its own; its search points inward, at everything your team has said, written or transcribed, which is a different and narrower promise. Where Atlas wins is the record itself: AI note-taking across calls and in-person meetings, automatic capture from email and messaging, and client-ready search and candidate reports generated from what was already captured — the parts of retained search that consume the most hours. Firms whose bottleneck is finding people should price Loxo against their current data stack; firms whose bottleneck is documenting and reporting a long, relationship-led process should look at Atlas — at $150/user/mo on a twelve-month term paid monthly, $200 if you want contact enrichment included, plus a paid add-on for WhatsApp capture.
