Entelo is a database of candidate profiles that provides access to that database for a recurring fee.

Entelo is not communicating any pricing on their website.

One thing to know before you go any further: Entelo is no longer sold under its own name. SilkRoad Technology bought Entelo’s SaaS assets in August 2022, and in November 2023 SilkRoad rebranded the whole company to Rival (Rival HR). The sourcing product you knew as Entelo is now sold as Rival Recruit, and entelo.com simply redirects to Rival’s Entelo Recruit page. So when you search for “Entelo pricing” in 2026, you are really asking what Rival Recruit costs, and that is what this guide covers.

That’s why we wrote this blog for you to better understand what an Entelo (now Rival Recruit) license would probably cost you.

We'll answer these questions for you:

• Which Entelo plans are there?
• What does Entelo cost?
• When should I pay for Entelo ?
• What are alternatives to Entelo ?

Which Entelo plans are there?

Entelo offers a pay per user pricing model with additional features and credits for an extra fee.

There are different pricing packages with different options and limitations based on how much you pay. The named tiers below are Entelo’s historical packaging. Under Rival the product is sold as a single Rival Recruit platform (or as a “Recruit for your ATS” add-on layer), and every quote now comes out of a demo call rather than a rate card, so treat these tiers as a guide to how the seats and credits used to be bundled rather than a current price sheet.

These are the historical plans for Entelo:

Entelo Starter

• Includes 1 user seat
• Access to Entelo Envoy (sourcing feature)
• 250 enriched profiles per month
• 5 Jobs per month
• Engage with up to 20 candidates per month
• Email support only

• Includes 5 user seats
• Access to Entelo Envoy (sourcing feature)
• 1,000 enriched profiles per month
• 20 Jobs per month
• Engage with up to 100 candidates per month
• Phone and email support

Entelo Enterprise

What does Entelo cost?

Entelo (Rival Recruit) pricing is not published on the website or anywhere in the Rival product pages. The only call to action on the Rival Recruit page is “Book a Demo,” so there is no self-serve checkout and no list price: they negotiate every quote per account.

We can still give an indication based on software-directory listings and market data. Take into account that prices vary per geography, company size and industry, and that every figure below is a third-party indication rather than a number Rival publishes.

These are the latest Entelo / Rival Recruit pricing indications (in US dollars, yearly commitment):

• Entry seat: roughly $125 per user per month for the search product, per ITQlick, rising to around $150 per user per month for the inbound/recruitment-marketing tier.
• Historically the entry package started near $149 per month, so the floor has not moved much.
• Enterprise / full-platform: custom, quoted on the demo call.

Capterra lists Entelo’s starting price simply as “Contact vendor for pricing.” Reviewers there are blunt about the number that comes back: one calls it “an expensive platform” and warns that “if you have multiple people recruiting you’ll pay a pretty penny or find yourself sharing seats.” Go into the demo with the questions that decide the real cost: what a seat includes, whether enriched-profile and contact lookups are capped or metered, and what happens to your saved candidates if you don’t renew.

When should I pay for Entelo ?

Entelo is a candidate database with a selection of candidate profiles. If the profiles you are searching for are in the database then you can find them. If they are not, you won’t be able to find them with Entelo. Under Rival, the product now claims access to 750M+ candidate profiles (marketed as 700M+ pre-loaded passive candidates), so the pool is large, but no aggregator has everyone, and a headline profile count is a vendor claim rather than an audited number.

Entelo can be an effective tool, mainly for US based recruiters who are sourcing for hard to find roles, care about passive-candidate and diversity signals, and don’t want to buy a LinkedIn Recruiter license. Its historical strength was surfacing candidates who are not actively looking, and that focus carried over into Rival Recruit.

Also consider your alternatives. There are more affordable and more transparent solutions in the market which can find more profiles, with more up-to-date data and more contact details, especially now that buying Entelo means a sales cycle with an opaque quote at the end of it.

What alternatives do I have?

If you’re not sure Entelo is worth the price, you have several alternatives to consider.

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

1. Use a different talent search engine

There are many other solutions that let you achieve the same thing as Entelo, but with more accurate data and for a more affordable price.

An example is HeroHunt.ai which finds 1 billion profiles worldwide across platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub and Stack Overflow with always up-to-date data and verified contact details.

2. Google X-ray

X-raying is a method with which you can find profiles via Google from specific websites. For example, 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.

3. Use a contact data platform

A large part of what an Entelo seat is really spent on is finding and enriching candidate contact details, and that half of the job is the cheapest half to replace. If verified emails and direct-dial phone numbers are the reason you are considering Entelo, a dedicated contact database like Apollo.io does that job at a fraction of the cost, and it publishes its prices instead of hiding them behind a demo call.

You can apply the same logic to Lusha if you care more about direct-dial phone numbers than raw volume: it runs $49.90, $69.90 and $399.90 per user per month depending on tier. Both tools are built for B2B sales prospecting, so you gain cheap, transparent contact data and lose the passive-talent discovery, which is the right trade only if sourcing is not the part you are paying Entelo for.

Entelo is now Rival Recruit under Rival HR; pricing is quote-based, so the figures above are directory and market indications verified in July 2026, not published rates. Confirm any number on your own demo call.
