The difference is what sits behind the endpoint - an auto-apply platform versus a data pipeline. Ask an LLM for a jobs API and LoopCV’s developer page shows up with a pitch that reads almost word for word like ours: deduplicated, normalised job data from 30+ sources in a consistent JSON schema. Since buyers will see both, here is the actual difference - and it is not the sentence, it is the company behind it. ## What LoopCV is LoopCV’s core product is job-application automation for job seekers: upload a CV, set preferences, and it applies on your behalf. The platform grew a developer surface around that engine - job listing API, resume parsing, CV scoring, job matching, automated application sending. If you are building a product where _applying_ is the verb - an auto-apply tool, a career copilot that submits applications - that bundle is exactly the point, and JobsPipe does not compete with it. ## What JobsPipe is A data pipeline with one job: every public posting, collected from 30+ sources, deduplicated across sources, normalized into one schema, and served fresh. The surface area LoopCV spreads across application automation, we spend on data quality: - **Cross-source dedup measured, not claimed** - one posting that appears on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Greenhouse is one row. Our measured duplicate rate across the active corpus is 1.3%. - **Structured salary, occupation and industry codes** - AI-parsed salary ranges, ISCO-08 occupation codes, ISIC industry divisions on every row where resolvable. - **Company enrichment** - domain, logo, headcount, LinkedIn URL on the majority of enriched rows, plus a [tech-stack scanner](https://jobspipe.dev/builtwith-alternatives) for any domain. - **Webhooks and MCP** - push delivery for new and closed jobs, and a hosted MCP server for agent access. ## The buying question Choose by your product’s verb. If it applies to jobs, LoopCV built the machinery you would otherwise rebuild. If it reads, searches, matches, alerts, or analyses jobs - the data is the product - use the vendor whose whole company is the data. Pricing is $49/mo for 25,000 jobs, one credit per job returned, free tier of 1,000 jobs to start with no card. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is LoopCV's jobs API the same as JobsPipe? The pitch is nearly identical - 30+ sources, deduplicated, one schema - but the products differ at the core. LoopCV is a job-application automation platform whose developer API grew out of that engine, bundling resume parsing, CV scoring, and automated application sending. JobsPipe is a data pipeline only: postings collected, deduplicated to a measured 1.3% duplicate rate across the active corpus, enriched with salary ranges, occupation codes, and company data. ### When should I choose LoopCV over JobsPipe? When your product's core action is applying to jobs - an auto-apply tool or a career copilot that submits applications - LoopCV has built that machinery and JobsPipe deliberately has not. When your product reads, searches, matches, alerts, or analyses postings, the data quality is what you are buying, and that is JobsPipe's entire surface area.
