By [Dvir Atias](https://jobspipe.dev/about) ยท Updated Sep 29, 2026 Seven tools compared by what they charge for rather than by feature count. Everyone here bills for the jobs you take, so the axis this list is organized around is the rate per 1,000: $32.67 to $1.10 per 1,000 jobs at TheirStack, $4.75 to $1.80 per 1,000 jobs at Fantastic.jobs, and $1.33 at JobsPipe on Scale ($1.30 on Business). ## Four categories, not one list ### Enterprise bulk data Large corpora sold through a contract. You buy volume and coverage, and the evaluation runs through a sales team. Coresignal, Bright Data ### Jobs-feed API Self-serve APIs whose product is the postings feed itself, usually banded by job or call volume. Fantastic.jobs, JSearch, Adzuna ### Hiring-signal specialist Jobs treated as one buying signal among several, alongside news, funding and technographics. PredictLeads ### Developer-first, self-serve A postings feed sold to developers with published prices and a signup form rather than a sales cycle. JobsPipe ## The seven 1 ### Coresignal Enterprise bulk data Best for. Enterprise data teams and investment firms buying coverage at volume. Pricing. A 7-day free trial with 2,000 credits, then API plans from $49/month (Mini, 2,500 credits) to $5,000/month (Elite, 10M credits). Custom datasets are quoted through sales, starting from $1,000, and priced on agreement duration, processing level and record count. Verdict. The closest thing to a like-for-like replacement if what you valued in TheirStack was breadth. The APIs are self-serve; the bulk datasets come with a contract and an evaluation cycle. [JobsPipe vs Coresignal](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/coresignal) 2 ### Bright Data Enterprise bulk data Best for. Teams that already operate scraping infrastructure across several verticals. Pricing. Scraper APIs from $0.75 per 1,000 records, with a free tier on several APIs. Pre-built datasets from $250 per 100K records. Verdict. Right answer when jobs are one of many things you collect. Overkill when jobs are the only thing you need, because you are buying a pipeline you then have to run. [JobsPipe vs Bright Data](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/bright-data) 3 ### Fantastic.jobs Jobs-feed API Best for. Job board builders and ATS integrators who want raw scale. Pricing. Self-serve plans from $95/month for 20,000 jobs to $900/month for 500,000 jobs. High-volume plans for over 1 million jobs a month start at $1,000/month. A 7-day free trial with no credit card. Verdict. The cheapest way into a large feed if your volume is predictable. Banding by monthly job count means your bill tracks the size of the corpus you pull, not the number of questions you ask. [JobsPipe vs Fantastic.jobs](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/fantastic-jobs) 4 ### JSearch Jobs-feed API Best for. Prototype-stage developers validating an idea. Pricing. A free plan of 200 requests a month, no credit card, then paid plans from $25/month for 10,000 requests to $150/month for 200,000, also sold through RapidAPI. Verdict. Hard to beat for a weekend build. The RapidAPI billing layer and the shallower per-source detail are what you outgrow when the prototype becomes a product. [JobsPipe vs JSearch](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/jsearch) 5 ### Adzuna Jobs-feed API Best for. Researchers, academic teams and government statistics work. Pricing. Free to register, with default limits of 25 calls a minute, 250 a day, 1,000 a week and 2,500 a month. Higher limits and licences are arranged with Adzuna rather than priced publicly. Verdict. Genuine institutional credibility and a real free tier, strongest in the UK and Western Europe. Thinner per-job detail than a developer-first API, and the paid path leaves self-serve behind. [JobsPipe vs Adzuna](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/adzuna) 6 ### PredictLeads Hiring-signal specialist Best for. Teams that want jobs as one signal beside news, funding and technographics. Pricing. Up to 100 free API calls a month, then self-serve pay-as-you-go pricing with a $40 minimum monthly charge, from $0.04 per API credit. Verdict. The nearest match if you liked TheirStack's signal blend rather than its jobs feed. You are buying a signal layer, not a postings corpus. [JobsPipe vs PredictLeads](https://jobspipe.dev/alternatives/predictleads) 7 ### JobsPipe Developer-first, self-serve Best for. Developers who want upstream ATS postings normalized per source. Pricing. Free tier of 1,000 jobs to start, then $49/month for 25,000, $399/month for 300,000, $650/month for 500,000, quoted from 1,000,000. One credit is one job returned, which works out at $1.33 per 1,000 on Scale and $1.30 on Business. Verdict. Listed last on purpose, and see the FAQ on why we include ourselves at all. The reason to look is the rate at the volumes most products pull: 300,000 jobs a month is $399 on Scale, against 500,000 credits for $1,200 a month at TheirStack. TheirStack's per-1,000 rate drops below our Scale rate only on its largest plans, and never below Business at $1.30. Both publish self-serve prices, so the comparison is only the number. ## FAQ Why is JobsPipe on its own list of TheirStack alternatives? Because leaving ourselves off would be its own kind of dishonesty, and because you can check every other row against the vendors' own published terms. We put ourselves last, named the categories where someone else is the better answer, and stated the one number that matters: the rate per 1,000 jobs. If price is not what sent you looking, one of the six above is your answer. How do I compare prices across these vendors? Convert everything to a rate per 1,000 jobs, because that is the unit the market converges on and the only one that compares directly. TheirStack charges one credit per job returned: $32.67 per 1,000 on the entry plan down to $1.10 on the 5M plan; Fantastic.jobs runs $4.75 to $1.80 per 1,000 jobs and Coresignal $19.60 to $0.50 per 1,000 jobs; JobsPipe runs from $1.96 per 1,000 on Builder down to $1.30 on Business. Entry prices are a poor guide on their own, because a cheap entry tier with a small allowance can cost more per job than a larger plan. Is TheirStack bad? No, and that framing usually means someone is selling. TheirStack is built for SDRs and growth teams who want jobs as one signal alongside technographics and intent, and for that buyer it is a strong product. It is a poor fit if you are a developer who wants a raw postings feed and does not need the sales-intelligence layer you are paying for. Which alternative is closest to TheirStack? Coresignal on coverage and enterprise posture, PredictLeads on the multi-signal blend. Both sell self-serve API plans with published prices, and only Coresignal's bulk datasets go through sales, so compare them on what a credit buys at your volume rather than on who has a signup form. How current are these prices? Each row is the vendor's own published terms, checked on its pricing page in September 2026. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the row says so rather than guessing. Pricing in this market moves, so check the vendor before committing.
