Kepler puts AI Chat, matching, the notetaker and record updates on one plan at USD 99 per user per month billed annually, and does the migration for you at no charge. Recruiterflow puts its AIRA agents on the AIRA Plan, which is priced on request. Its Platform Plan, at USD 119, does not include them.
The difference is how you work.
Kepler is a simple, modern CRM where you ask AI Chat in plain English instead of searching by hand. AI Chat is included on every plan, monthly and annual, with no add-on or upgrade needed.
Recruiterflow configures a separate AIRA agent for each task, and the agents are only on its AIRA Plan, priced on request.

Kepler puts AI Chat on every page. It searches everything you hold, ranks people against a job, counts what happened last month and drafts the message that follows, and nothing is written until you approve it. Recruiterflow describes AIRA as a set of agents where “each AIRA Agent handles a specific task”, and the agents are only on the AIRA Plan.

Kepler publishes your roles on your own domain, with job data on every role that Google’s job search can read. A candidate searching for the job finds your site, and the traffic those pages earn belongs to your agency. Recruiterflow hosts the careers page at recruiterflow.com/<company>/jobs, or embeds it in your site as an iframe.

Northwind Capital — the data platform behind the research desk.
Kepler's CV parsing and formatting come from RemakeCV, built by the same team and used by 300+ recruitment agencies. The migration that fills your database on day one runs on an engine that has been reading real agency CVs for years, not on something written for this launch.
The 300+ figure is RemakeCV's agency count. The parser reading your archive is the one those agencies already run.
Whatever your current system gives you, plus loose CVs and spreadsheets sitting in folders. Not sure how to export? We will walk you through it.
Extraction, mapping, de-duplication and validation, the unglamorous half most vendors leave on your desk. Your custom fields are recreated rather than flattened into notes.
Fifty of your own records, fully parsed. Your people, not a demo set. Tell us what we got wrong and we re-run.
The full database goes in, mailboxes and calendars connect, and history backfills onto the right records. We stay on it until your team is working.

It depends on how you want to work. If you want a simple, modern CRM with the AI included, where you ask AI Chat in plain English and it finds, ranks and updates records for you, choose Kepler. It is one plan at USD 99 per user per month billed annually, with a free done-for-you migration. If you want an outbound platform built around multichannel sequences, with a separate AI agent for each task on a plan priced on request, Recruiterflow is built for that.
Kepler is USD 99 per user per month billed annually, or USD 129 monthly, on a single plan with every feature, unlimited records and free migration. The like-for-like Recruiterflow plan is the AIRA Plan, which carries the AI agents, and its pricing page gives it as “Let’s chat custom pricing” (checked 13 Sep 2026). The Platform Plan is USD 119 per user per month billed annually or USD 149 monthly, without the AIRA agents.
Kepler includes AI Chat, matching, the notetaker and record updates in one published price of USD 99 per user per month billed annually. AI Chat is included on every plan, monthly and annual, with no add-on or upgrade needed. Recruiterflow’s AIRA agents, omnichannel sync and custom BI dashboards are only on the AIRA Plan, whose price is not published. The Platform Plan does not include them.
Kepler reads emails, calls and WhatsApp messages and suggests field updates and tasks for a person to approve. Each suggestion shows its source, and every change can be undone from the field’s history. Recruiterflow’s Field Updates Agent, on the AIRA Plan, can either update profiles automatically or suggest changes for review, set per field.
Kepler finds work and personal emails, mobile numbers and LinkedIn URLs for one record or in bulk, with a review step. It can also search LinkedIn, shows whether a person is already in your database and what has changed since you last spoke, and adds them if they are not. Recruiterflow lists phone and email finder agents among its AIRA agents.
Kepler does the migration itself, free on every plan, and commits to finishing in days. You send the export plus any loose CVs and spreadsheets, and you review fifty of your own records before the full load. Custom fields, activity, stages and history all come across. Recruiterflow’s own FAQ says its paid white-glove migration typically takes six to eight weeks.
