Pricing

Two approaches to pricing

Bullhorn provides pricing via direct quote rather than publishing it on their website — a common approach for enterprise-tier products. Because there's no public counterpart to compare our per-tier figures against, this section focuses on how the two platforms are packaged, sold, and rolled out.

Why teams switch

What you get with LeapOne

Where LeapOne diverges from Bullhorn.

Flat vs per-seat

Flat pricing as the team grows.

Bullhorn is priced per user per month, so each added recruiter increases the monthly bill. LeapOne's agency plans are flat, with unlimited seats — hiring managers, account executives, panel interviewers, and reviewers can be added without changing the subscription.

  • Unlimited seats on every tier
  • No annual minimums
  • No per-seat increase when the team grows

AI included

AI features included in the base plan.

Bullhorn offers Automation, Analytics, and VMS Sync as separately licensed modules. LeapOne includes AI video interviews, AI transcriptions, Chia AI chat, and AI contextual follow-up on the agency Growth plan; multi-brand support, client portals, and revenue analytics are part of the Pro plan.

Built for agencies

Placements, commissions, revenue — first-class.

LeapOne's agency plans include placement & commission tracking (Growth) and revenue + placement analytics (Pro). Pro adds multi-brand support and branded client portals so you can run a portfolio of client relationships without spinning up five tools.

  • Placement & commission tracking
  • Revenue & placement analytics
  • Multi-brand support
  • Branded client portals
  • Scrape recent jobs + identify hiring team

Time to live

Self-serve vs a sales-led rollout.

Bullhorn is deployed through a sales-led engagement. LeapOne is self-serve — create your workspace, invite your recruiters, start placements the same day.

FAQ

Common questions

Is LeapOne a real Bullhorn alternative for a staffing agency?
For the core recruiting, client-management, placement, and interview workflow, yes. LeapOne's agency plans cover client management across multiple companies, placements, commission tracking, and AI-powered sourcing. Bullhorn still has a deeper staffing back-office (VMS sync, payroll integrations, finance modules) that LeapOne doesn't replace.
How does LeapOne agency pricing compare to Bullhorn?
LeapOne is flat and published: $149 Starter, $499 Growth, $1,199 Pro per month — unlimited seats. Bullhorn is per-user per-month with annual contracts, priced on request. To compare, ask Bullhorn for a quote at your recruiter headcount with all required modules, and compare against LeapOne's published tier.
Do I have to buy add-ons for AI, analytics, and automation?
No. LeapOne includes AI video interviews, AI transcriptions, Chia AI chat, sequences, pipeline automation, and standard analytics in the plan. Bullhorn markets several of these as separately licensed modules.
Can LeapOne handle multi-brand agencies?
Yes — the Pro tier includes multi-brand support and branded client portals, so agencies running multiple practice areas or sub-brands can keep each portfolio isolated.
What's the main thing Bullhorn does that LeapOne doesn't?
Bullhorn's deepest moat is the staffing back-office: VMS sync, payroll integrations, and finance tooling aimed at high-volume light-industrial and healthcare staffing. If you run a temp-heavy staffing business with complex timesheet + payroll pipes, Bullhorn's ecosystem is hard to replicate. LeapOne is focused on perm and retained search agency workflows.
Will my candidate data move from Bullhorn to LeapOne?
Yes — CSV import handles most migrations. For large historical data sets, the Pro tier API covers bulk migration. Reach out and we can help scope the move.
Does LeapOne support commission tracking like Bullhorn?
LeapOne Growth and Pro include placement & commission tracking. Pro adds revenue & placement analytics dashboards.
