# Techmap (jobdatafeeds) vs JobsPipe: bulk feeds or a live API?

Techmap sells job postings at $1 per 1,000 with a 405M-posting archive. JobsPipe is $1.16 per 1,000 with dedup, webhooks, and an MCP server. Which one fits depends on whether you are building a warehouse or a product.

Techmap (jobdatafeeds.com) is the price floor of the jobs data market: a published $1 per 1,000 postings, a historical archive they state at 405M+ postings back to January 2020, and bulk delivery with hourly exports to S3 and AWS Data Exchange. If your deliverable is a data warehouse, that offer is genuinely hard to beat, and this post will not pretend otherwise.

## What you get for $1 per 1,000

-   Raw scale - hundreds of millions of historical postings.
-   Bulk-first delivery - files to your bucket on a schedule.
-   The lowest published per-unit rate in the market.

## What the $0.16 difference buys on JobsPipe

-   **Deduplication included** - Techmap ships postings as collected, so the same job posted on three boards is three rows. JobsPipe collapses them before you pay: one job, one row, one credit. If your downstream dedup costs engineering time, the cheaper feed is not cheaper.
-   **A live API, not a file drop** - filter by title, skills, seniority, salary, country, remote, or company at request time, with cursor pagination. See the [search API guide](/blog/job-search-api-guide).
-   **Webhooks** - postings pushed as they appear and marked when they close, instead of diffing yesterday’s export against today’s.
-   **Free previews and free empty searches** - one credit is one job returned, a search that matches nothing costs nothing, and `blur_company_data` lets you size a query at zero cost.
-   **Agent access** - hosted MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can query the corpus directly.

## Choosing between them

Building a labour-market research warehouse, an ML training corpus, or anything where 2020-era history matters? Techmap. Building a product - sourcing tool, job board, sales-signal engine, agent - that queries current postings on demand? JobsPipe at $49/mo for 25,000 jobs, free tier first. Some teams run both: Techmap for the archive, JobsPipe for the live layer.

Query 1.55M live postings before you buy a single file.

FAQs

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is Techmap cheaper than JobsPipe?

Per raw posting, yes: Techmap publishes $1 per 1,000 against JobsPipe's $1.16 per 1,000 at the Scale tier. But Techmap ships postings as collected, without cross-source deduplication, so the same job on three boards is three rows. JobsPipe collapses duplicates before billing, so the effective per-unique-job rate is closer than the sticker prices - and a search that matches nothing on JobsPipe costs nothing.

### When is Techmap the right choice?

When the deliverable is a warehouse rather than a product: labour-market research, ML training corpora, or trend analysis that needs their 405M-posting archive back to January 2020 and hourly S3 exports. JobsPipe holds current postings - 1.55M active after dedup - and is built for query-time access, webhooks, and agents, not multi-year bulk history.
