Loxo

✓Powerful omnichannel outreach (email, SMS, LinkedIn) plus AI notetaker
✕Steep price escalation as teams grow; recent price increases
✕Strict contact-data credit limits on lower tiers
Recruit CRM

Our verdict
Both serve perm and exec search, but they make opposite bets. Loxo bundles sourcing into the CRM: 1.2B profiles plus email, SMS, and LinkedIn outreach, priced at $169/user — defensible if it replaces LinkedIn Recruiter licenses, expensive if it doesn't. Recruit CRM keeps the platform lean at $59/user with the fastest onboarding and best support ratings in the category, leaving sourcing tools to you. Outbound-heavy search firms should price Loxo against their current data stack; lean small agencies get more from Recruit CRM.
