AmazingHiring is a talent database that provides access to its database for a yearly fee.

AmazingHiring does not share their pricing on their website and applies pricing that can differ per customer.

That’s why we wrote this guide so you can better understand what AmazingHiring can cost you.

We'll answer these questions for you:

• Which AmazingHiring plans are there?
• What does AmazingHiring cost?
• When should I pay for AmazingHiring?

Which AmazingHiring plans are there?

AmazingHiring has a pay per seat model.

This means that you pay a price per user that uses the software, no matter the intensity of usage.

A license provides access to AmazingHiring’s database offered at yearly pricing.

There is no self-serve signup. AmazingHiring’s own website offers only ‘Request Demo’ and ‘Contact Sales’, with no price and no checkout anywhere on it. The software directories disagree on whether a trial exists at all: Capterra lists free trial ‘not available’ and free version ‘not included’, while GetApp’s listing claims both are available. Treat the trial as something you have to negotiate on the demo call, not something you are entitled to.

What does AmazingHiring cost?

According to the latest pricing indications AmazingHiring charges $4800 per user per year. Capterra lists the same $4,800 per user per year as the starting price, which is the important word: it is a floor, not a ceiling.

On average, customers pay around $400 per user per month (with a yearly contract).

That means with a team of 5 recruiters, the software will cost you around $24,000 per year.

Because every quote comes out of a sales call, the figure above is an indication rather than a rate card, and AmazingHiring does not publish what moves it. Go into the demo with the questions that decide the real cost: what a seat includes, whether contact-detail lookups are capped or unlimited, what happens to your saved candidates if you do not renew, and whether you can pilot the data before committing to twelve months.

When should I pay for AmazingHiring ?

Pay for AmazingHiring when you are hiring engineers, and you are hiring enough of them that a $4,800 seat is a rounding error next to one agency fee. That is the honest test. AmazingHiring aggregates what it claims are 600M+ profiles across 50+ networks (GitHub, Stack Overflow, Kaggle, LinkedIn and others) into single candidate records, per its GetApp listing. That is a vendor claim, not an audited number, but the shape of it is right: the product has always been built around technical signal, not job titles.

That focus is also the limitation. A database built on code and technical footprints is strong for software and QA engineers, data scientists and IT operations, and thin everywhere else. If you are filling sales, finance or marketing roles, you are paying engineer-grade prices for a database that was never built for those candidates. And whatever the headline profile count, no aggregator has everyone: you can still miss a match who simply is not in it.

But consider your alternatives though.

There are more affordable solutions in the market which can find more profiles and more contact details.

What alternatives are there?

If you’re not 100% convinced of AmazingHiring you have plenty of alternatives to look into.

These are some of the best alternatives to buying an AmazingHiring license:

1. Use a more up-to-date and affordable talent search engine

There are many other solutions that let you achieve the same thing as AmazingHiring, but faster and for a more affordable price.

An example is HeroHunt.ai which finds tech talent across platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub and Stack Overflow with always up-to-date data and more contact details than any other tools.

2. Google X-ray

X-raying is a technique used to find profiles via Google from specific websites. You can for example find a LinkedIn profile by using ‘site:linkedin.com/in’ in google to find candidate profiles.

You can apply this same technique for other websites.

To learn more about x-raying see this extensive X-raying guide.

X-raying obviously does not let you find contact details and reach out in an automated way.

You have to screen profiles manually, find contact details yourself and write your own outreach messages.

3. Use a contact database like Apollo

A large part of what you pay AmazingHiring for is finding candidate contact details. A dedicated contact database like Apollo lets you find email addresses and phone numbers across a large B2B database, usually at a lower price point than a full sourcing suite like AmazingHiring.

The numbers are not close. Apollo’s free plan gives you 900 credits per seat per year, released monthly, and its Basic plan is $49 per seat per month billed annually ($65 if you pay monthly) for 30,000 credits per seat per year granted upfront. Professional is $79 per seat per month annually. Against $4,800 per seat, an Apollo seat costs about an eighth as much.

Lusha is the other option in the same category, at $49.90, $69.90 and $399.90 per user per month depending on tier. It is worth comparing if you care more about direct dial phone numbers than volume.

Be clear-eyed about what this swap buys you. Both tools are built for B2B sales prospecting, so they index people by employer and job title and know nothing about a candidate’s code. You get the contact details cheaply and you lose the technical discovery entirely, which is fine if you already know who you want to reach and expensive if you do not.
