Manatal pricing: the annual discount is $4 a seat, whichever tier you buy
Last updated · Compiled by AI for My Craft
The three published tiers
Professional at $15 per user a month annually covers up to 15 open jobs and up to 10,000 candidates, with unlimited hiring managers. Enterprise at $35 removes both caps and adds workflow automation. Enterprise Plus at $55 adds the advanced report builder, the LLM integration, an Open API, a candidate portal, internal mobility, custom permission sets, SSO and priority support. Above that, Custom is quote-only and is where a dedicated account manager, phone support and bespoke integrations sit.
The annual discount is a flat $4 a seat, so it is worth least at the top
Every tier costs exactly $4 per user per month less on annual billing: $19 to $15, $39 to $35, $59 to $55. As a percentage that is 21% off Professional, 10% off Enterprise and 7% off Enterprise Plus. Committing to a year is therefore worth three times more, proportionally, at the bottom of the range than at the top. If you are buying Enterprise Plus for a team whose size you are not sure of yet, the monthly option costs you 7% for the freedom to stop — which is a cheap option to hold.
It is the job cap that forces the upgrade, not the candidate cap
Professional's two limits are account-level, not per seat: 15 open jobs and 10,000 candidates. For a small in-house team those are not the same kind of constraint. 10,000 candidates is years of database — most internal teams will not reach it. Fifteen simultaneous openings, on the other hand, is an ordinary Tuesday for a recruitment agency. So the practical question is not whether you will outgrow the storage but whether you routinely run more than 15 requisitions at once, because that is the number that moves you from $15 to $35 a seat — a 133% increase for a limit removal.
Hiring managers are unlimited and do not consume seats
The per-user price applies to recruiter seats. Hiring managers are unlimited on every tier including Professional, which changes the arithmetic for the common case of a small recruiting function serving a much larger company. Three recruiters supporting twenty hiring managers pay for three seats: $45 a month annually, not $345. Compare that carefully against per-user ATS pricing that counts everyone who touches the pipeline.
SSO and the API are two tiers up, which matters before a pilot
Single sign-on, the Open API and the LLM integration are all Enterprise Plus features. If your security review requires SSO, your real floor is $55 per user a month annually, not $15 — a 3.7x difference from the headline price. That is worth establishing before running a pilot on Professional, because the pilot will tell you whether the product fits while telling you nothing about what it will cost once IT has looked at it.
Tax and currency
Prices are quoted in USD. Manatal charges Singapore residents an additional 9% GST and lists all other regions as charged net of tax, so a European buyer should expect local VAT to be handled on their own side rather than appearing on the invoice.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Manatal cost per month?
$19 per user month to month on Professional, or $15 if you pay annually. Enterprise is $39 monthly and $35 annually; Enterprise Plus is $59 monthly and $55 annually. Custom is quote-only.
Does Manatal have a free plan?
No. There is a 14-day free trial that does not ask for a card, but no permanent free tier.
Is Manatal priced per user?
Yes, per recruiter seat per month. Hiring managers are unlimited on every plan and are not charged, so only the recruiting seats count.
What is the difference between Professional and Enterprise?
Professional caps you at 15 open jobs and 10,000 candidates per account. Enterprise removes both limits and adds workflow automation, for $35 per user a month annually against $15.
Does Manatal have an API?
The Open API is an Enterprise Plus feature, at $55 per user a month annually. So are SSO, the LLM integration and the candidate portal.
Is Manatal's annual plan worth it?
It saves exactly $4 per seat per month on every tier. That is 21% off Professional, 10% off Enterprise and 7% off Enterprise Plus — so the annual commitment pays off far better on the entry plan than at the top of the range.
