Loxo: cost, fit and limits
Loxo is a recruiting platform made by Loxo Holdings, Inc. that combines an applicant tracking system, a recruiting CRM and AI candidate search with agents for sourcing, outreach and submittals, aimed at staffing agencies and in-house recruiting teams.
What to know first
Loxo has three plans: Core from $149 per user per month billed annually, Professional by quote and Enterprise on custom annual agreements. Core already contains the ATS and CRM with AI search, while Loxo Source, Outreach and the agent features start on Professional, which includes 2,500 credits per seat monthly. A seven-day trial of the Professional platform needs no card. Figures are as of November 2026.

Who Loxo is best for
Staffing agencies
One product holds jobs, candidates, companies and client submittals, and the Candidate Submittal Agent drafts summaries to send to clients, so the agency avoids paying for a separate sourcing tool.
Recruiters with an existing database
Loxo Source searches the user's own records and Loxo's data at once, which helps a firm that has years of past candidates it never searches.
Buyers who want API access
Professional lists API access and MCP access appears on Core, so a team with its own tooling can connect candidate data to other systems.

What Loxo does
- Loxo Source
- Searches the user's own database and Loxo's data at the same time and includes Longlist and Shortlist agents. It sits on Professional, so Core users get AI search without the agents.
- Contact Info Finding Agent
- Retrieves phone numbers and email addresses for candidates. Lookups draw from the monthly credit pool, which is why the credit boost tiers exist for high-volume teams.
- AI Notetaker
- Records interview notes and saves them to the candidate database, so a recruiter does not copy notes by hand into the record after a call.
- Natural language search and recommendations
- A plain-text query starts a candidate search, and AI Recommendations place strong semantic matches at the top of results. Both work on top of the data a firm already holds.
- Loxo Outreach
- Runs multi-channel campaigns, with a Loxo Outreach GPT to help draft messages. It is part of Professional, together with the Agent Impact Center that reports on what the agents did.
How Loxo handles your data
Loxo's privacy policy says data from Google Workspace and Microsoft APIs is not used to train generalized AI or ML models, and it notes that research may involve training AI and LLM technologies. It does not clearly exclude other customer data from that research. No fixed retention period is given: information is kept until Loxo decides it is no longer necessary. No hosting region is specified, and data may be processed in the United States and any country where Loxo has facilities or service providers. No certification is claimed. Standard Contractual Clauses are cited for transfers from the EU, and a GDPR page is linked.
Where Loxo falls short in practice
- The best features sit above Core. Source, Outreach and the sourcing agents are Professional features, and Professional has no published price. A buyer who wants AI sourcing beyond the search box cannot budget from the page.
- No permanent free plan. The only free access is a seven-day trial of the full Professional platform. Teams that want to compare it with Pin or Juicebox have a week to import data and test a real brief.
- Credit boosts without prices. Credit boosts of 5,000 and 12,500 credits per user per month are listed in credits only. A team that exhausts the 2,500 included credits cannot calculate the cost of going further.

Alternatives to Loxo
Loxo: common questions
What does Loxo Core include for $149 a user?
Core starts at $149 per user per month billed annually and includes the full ATS and recruiting CRM, AI search, unlimited jobs, candidates and companies, email and calendar sync, a Chrome extension and MCP access. Loxo Source, Outreach and the agent features are on Professional.
Is Loxo an ATS or a sourcing tool?
Loxo is both. Core is an applicant tracking system and recruiting CRM with AI search, and Professional adds Loxo Source for finding people outside your database. A firm that already runs an ATS it likes may prefer a pure sourcing layer instead.
How many AI credits come with Loxo Professional?
Professional lists 2,500 credits per seat per month, and credit boosts of 5,000 and 12,500 per user per month are listed for heavier use. The pages give credits only and no dollar price for the boosts, so ask what a boost costs before signing.
Can I try Loxo before paying?
Yes, there is a seven-day free trial of the full Professional platform, and no card is required. That makes it a short window to import records and run a real search. There is no permanent free plan on the pricing page.
Does Loxo use my data to train AI?
The privacy policy excludes Google Workspace and Microsoft API data from training generalized AI or ML models, and says research may involve training AI and LLM technologies. It does not clearly exclude other customer data, so request written terms if candidate records are sensitive for your firm.
