Recruiterflow publishes USD 119 per user per month billed annually for its Platform Plan, and puts AIRA — the notetaker, the matchmaker, the agent that fills fields in from your calls — on a separate AIRA Plan priced on request. Kepler is USD 119 per user per month billed annually with all of that included, and does the migration for you at no charge.
Recruiterflow is the stronger outbound machine and Kepler is the simpler thing to own. Recruiterflow runs sequences over email, SMS, calls and LinkedIn with branching logic, sources from a pool of 850M+ profiles, posts to the major job boards and models business development as deals with a win probability per stage — Kepler does none of those. What Kepler does is publish one price, USD 119 per user per month billed annually, with the assistant, the matching, the notetaker and the field updates all switched on inside it, and run your migration for free rather than quoting for it.

Recruiterflow’s pricing page puts AIRA Notetaker, AIRA Matchmaker, the Field Updates Agent, the Submission Agent, the Task Agent and Job Change Alerts on the AIRA Plan, whose price is “Let’s chat custom pricing”. Kepler’s assistant, matching, notetaker and field proposals are all inside USD 119 per user per month.
Recruiterflow’s own pricing FAQ offers a free Excel/CSV self-import, or a paid white-glove migration priced by data volume and “typically completed in 6–8 weeks”. Kepler does the extraction, mapping, de-duplication and validation itself, free on every plan, and shows you fifty of your own records before the full load.
Recruiterflow’s model is a task-specific agent per job — notetaker, matchmaker, submission, task, field updates, research — each configured on its own. Kepler’s is one sidebar on every page with roughly fifteen tools behind it, which searches, shortlists, answers and writes back after a single approval.
Dimensions where Kepler is the stronger or the simpler product. Recruiterflow is ahead of us on several others — multichannel sequencing, sourcing, job multiposting, a deals pipeline and interview scorecards — and the blog post covers those in full rather than hiding them.
| Kepler | Recruiterflow | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | ||
| Published priceWhat the website tells you before a sales call. | USD 119 per user / month billed annually, published in full | Platform Plan at USD 119 per user / month billed annually, or USD 149 monthly |
| EditionsHow many decisions before you can buy. | One. Every feature included, no tier above it | Two — the Platform Plan, and the AIRA Plan at “Let’s chat custom pricing” |
| AI usageWhat it costs when the whole team uses it. | A monthly allowance is included; additional capacity is available on request | AIRA sits on the second plan and that plan’s price is not published |
| Paying to move inWho covers the unglamorous half. | Migration done for you, free on every plan, however large or messy the export | Free Excel/CSV self-import; white-glove migration is paid, priced by data volume |
| What the entry plan includes | ||
| Meeting notetakerCalls filed against the right record. | Included at USD 119 — joins the call and files summary, next steps and transcript | AIRA Notetaker is listed under the AIRA Plan, price on request |
| AI candidate matchingThe shortlist against a brief. | Included at USD 119, with per-criterion verdicts and the evidence behind each | AIRA Matchmaker is listed under the AIRA Plan, price on request |
| Fields filled in from conversationsThe admin nobody wants to do. | Included at USD 119, as proposals you approve or reject | AIRA Field Updates Agent is listed under the AIRA Plan, price on request |
| Communication brought togetherThreads landing on the record by themselves. | Gmail and Outlook two-way sync, included at USD 119 | Email is on the Platform Plan; “Omnichannel Communication Sync” is on the AIRA Plan |
| The shape of the AI | ||
| How you reach itOne thing you ask, or several you configure. | One assistant in a sidebar on every page, roughly fifteen tools, @-mention any record | A suite of task-specific agents — notetaker, matchmaker, submission, task, field updates, research |
| Acting on an answerReading is only half the job. | Creates and updates records and saves a result set as a list, behind one approval step | Ask AIRA reads a pool and returns a ranked shortlist; writing is each agent’s own job |
| Stopping a long runWhat happens when it is doing the wrong thing. | Runs can be paused and resumed | Not described in their documentation |
| Trusting what is in the record | ||
| Field-level historyWhat changed, who changed it, and from what. | Per-cell history with the source of every AI-suggested change | Profile activity log and a run history for automated agents; no per-cell history documented |
| Undoing a changeThe value that was right last week. | Restore a field to any earlier value straight from its history | Incorrect updates are corrected manually; no undo is documented |
| Two people, one recordThe quiet data-loss bug in most CRMs. | Optimistic concurrency, so a stale edit is refused rather than silently applied | Not described in their documentation |
| Running the desk | ||
| Where your jobs are publishedWhose domain accrues the search authority. | Your own domain, server-rendered and indexable, with structured data per role | recruiterflow.com/<company>/jobs, or that page embedded in your site as an iframe |
| Knowing what runs by itselfThe switch you want at six o’clock on a Friday. | One register of every automatic behaviour — what it reads, what it writes, when it last ran, and a switch | Recipes in settings, with a separate activities view for automated AIRA agents |
| What the browser extension doesBefore you add someone you already have. | Tells you whether the person is already in your database and what has changed since last time | Bulk sourcing — captures profiles across social platforms and adds them to a campaign in one click |
Recruiterflow’s own description of AIRA is that “each AIRA Agent handles a specific task” — a notetaker, a matchmaker, a submission writer, a task extractor, a field updater, a researcher, each with its own setup and its own place in the product. Kepler puts one assistant in a sidebar on every page. It searches everything you hold, ranks a pool against a job, counts what happened last month, explains where a fact on a record came from, and drafts the message that follows — and nothing is written until you approve it.

Recruiterflow hosts your careers page at recruiterflow.com/<company>/jobs, and their help centre’s alternative is to embed that page in your own site as an iframe. Kepler publishes the same roles on your own domain, server-rendered and indexable, with structured data on every role — so a candidate searching for the job finds your site, and the authority those pages build belongs to your agency rather than to your software vendor.
Roles we are hiring for, on behalf of our clients
Northwind Capital — the data platform behind the research desk.
Kepler's CV parsing and formatting are ported from RemakeCV, our own product, which 300+ recruitment agencies use. 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.
RemakeCV is a Kepler product. It is the same team and the same code, which is why we are willing to point at it — and it is the only outside evidence on this page, because Kepler itself is new and has no customer stories yet.
Whatever your current system gives you, plus any loose CVs and spreadsheets sitting in folders. If you are not sure how to get the export out, 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 fix it and re-run, as many times as it takes.
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 in Kepler.
£89 per user / month, billed annually
Platform Plan at USD 119 per user / month, billed annually
Recruiterflow publishes two plans on its pricing page, checked 6 Sep 2026. The Platform Plan is USD 119 per user per month billed annually, or USD 149 per user per month billed monthly, and covers the ATS and CRM, multichannel sequences, recruitment and sales automation, bulk sourcing through the Chrome extension, reports and API access, with unlimited jobs, candidates, contacts and companies. The AIRA Plan carries everything in the Platform Plan plus the AIRA agents — the notetaker, the matchmaker, job change alerts, the field updates agent, the submission agent, the task agent — along with omnichannel communication sync and custom BI dashboards. Its price is given as “Let’s chat custom pricing”.
Their pricing page also states “No add-ons. No surprises. No extra costs,” which is true within a plan and is a genuinely good policy — every current and future AIRA agent is included once you are on the AIRA Plan. The catch for a buyer comparing totals is that the plan carrying the AI is the one without a number on it. Recruiterflow’s own FAQ adds that white-glove migration is paid, priced by data volume and “typically completed in 6–8 weeks”, with the fee waiver something to negotiate on a multi-year contract.
Recruiterflow’s pricing page, checked 6 Sep 2026, publishes a Platform Plan at USD 119 per user per month billed annually, or USD 149 billed monthly. Its AIRA Plan — the one carrying the notetaker, the matchmaker, job change alerts and the field updates agent — is priced on request. Kepler has the same published USD 119 annual and USD 149 monthly seat prices, with one edition, every feature included, unlimited records and free migration. Additional AI capacity is available on request.
Partly. Recruiterflow’s Platform Plan includes the ATS, CRM, multichannel sequences, automation, Chrome-extension sourcing, reports and API access. The AIRA agents — AIRA Notetaker, AIRA Matchmaker, Job Change Alerts, the Field Updates Agent, the Submission Agent and the Task Agent — are listed on the AIRA Plan, whose price their site gives as “Let’s chat custom pricing”. Their FAQ is clear that once you are on that plan every current and future agent is included at no extra cost. Kepler puts the equivalent capabilities inside its single USD 119 price, with additional AI capacity available on request.
Not to the same depth, and it would be dishonest to suggest otherwise. Recruiterflow’s sequences page describes email, calls, SMS and professional networking platforms running natively in one sequence, with branching logic, channel-level and step-level tracking. Kepler has campaigns: multi-step outbound email sequences with audiences, delivery windows, exit criteria, reply classification and stage write-back when someone replies. Kepler has no SMS at all. If sequencing is the centre of how your desk generates revenue, Recruiterflow is ahead of us and that is a real reason to choose them.
Yes. Recruiterflow’s home page describes AIRA Source as sourcing across 850M+ profiles without leaving Recruiterflow, alongside phone and email finder agents that return verified contact details. Kepler has no sourcing database of its own and does not sell access to a pool of candidate profiles. Kepler’s Chrome extension works the other way round: on a LinkedIn profile it tells you whether that person is already in your database and what has changed since you last looked, and adds them if they are not. If buying reach matters more to you than working the database you already have, Recruiterflow is the better fit.
Kepler runs the migration for you, free on every plan, however large or messy the export. Kepler handles extraction, mapping, de-duplication and validation, rebuilds your custom fields as real fields rather than flattening them into notes, and brings across activity, stages and history — and you review fifty of your own records fully parsed before the full load. Recruiterflow’s own pricing FAQ offers a free Excel/CSV self-import, or a paid white-glove migration priced by data volume and “typically completed in 6–8 weeks”, with the fee waiver negotiable on a multi-year contract.
One assistant that reaches the whole workspace from inside the app rather than a set of task-specific agents; per-field history with undo and the source of every AI-suggested change; optimistic concurrency so two consultants editing one record cannot silently overwrite each other; a single register of everything running automatically in the workspace, showing what it reads, what it writes and when it last ran; a careers site on your own domain rather than a page under the vendor’s; one edition at one published price with the AI switched on; and a migration we run for you at no charge. Recruiterflow is ahead of Kepler on sequencing, sourcing, job multiposting, business-development pipelines and interview scorecards, and our blog post says so in detail.
Bring your hardest search to a 15-minute call. We will run it live, on real records, and talk through what a migration would look like.
