NeverApply vs Recruitee

NeverApply 45

Hosted reading, for the MCP server at https://neverapply.co/mcp with the Jobs API described. No status page was found. None is linked from the home page, llms.txt (which lists none) or the MCP page, and https://neverapply.co/status answered a client error (0). No readable incident history, so the floor (5). auth.md publishes budgets with numbers per member and OAuth client, 60 requests a minute on Free and 300 with full access, 50 or 2,000 read calls and 500 or 10,000 search rows a day, 3 or 30 application sends a day and 5 concurrent requests per token, with daily resets at midnight UTC; the page says they are monitor-only for now, and the OpenAPI file gives the Jobs API 1,000 to 250,000 calls a month by plan (15). auth.md says to respect Retry-After on 429 and the reset and retry fields on MCP limit errors, to retry safe reads with bounded backoff and never to repeat an application action blindly; the apply-to-jobs skill passes an idempotency_key on apply_to_job and a review_version on approvals and answers (15). No SLA on any plan was found (0). Nothing on the MCP page, auth.md or llms.txt labels the server beta or preview; the Telegram agent and Envoy marked 'soon' are not this surface (10). 0+5+15+15+0+10 = 45.

Recruitee 75

Graded on the ATS REST API with the hosted lines. Statuspage site at status.tellent.com whose page lists a Recruitee API component beside Recruitee Website, Careers Sites, Integrations, Mail Connector and BI Connector (20). Its history feed, read on 4 November, shows four incidents in the 90 days from 6 August. Recruitee mailbox issues on 4 September (mail to Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 delayed by a Microsoft outage), Javelo SSO issues on 10 September, increased errors in Tellent auth services on 13 October (about 20 minutes) and Tellent SSO issues for some users on 19 October. Each hits one function or part of the users and none names the Recruitee API, so the record is minor only (20). Scheduled maintenance on 24, 25 and 26 August, 27 and 28 October and 3 November had stated windows and isn't counted. Rate limit published as 1,000 requests a minute per token (15). No 429 handling, backoff guidance or idempotency keys were found in the reviewed documentation (0). The Service Level Addendum (last modified 15 June 2026) warrants 99.5 per cent availability a quarter for the majority of functions on the Lead and Optimize plans, with a credit (10). The API carries no beta label, though the curated docs call themselves work in progress (10). Total 75.

NeverApply 45

No x402, MPP or L402 on the pricing page, llms.txt, auth.md or the MCP page; plans are Stripe subscriptions and the terms say MCP tools perform no financial transactions (0). Plan prices are public without a login, Pro $29 and Max $49 a month ($19 and $39 a month billed yearly) with 150 and 450 credits a month and 1 credit per application, and the OpenAPI file prices the Jobs API at $19, $49 and $149 a month for 10,000, 50,000 and 250,000 calls; credit pack prices are not listed (15 of 20). Free is $0 with no card, 10 applications once, 5 match previews a day and 50 MCP reads a day per client, and the Jobs API has a free 1,000 calls a month (20). Guest search_jobs and get_job need no account, but every other tool, applying among them, needs a person to sign in or create an account and verify an email on the hosted page, so partial (10 of 20). 0+15+20+10 = 45.

Recruitee 20

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The pricing page, re-read on 4 November, names Start, Advance and Optimize with a demo request on each and no price (0). A free trial with no credit card, 18 days per the 8 October check (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates the token in settings after re-entering a password (0). Total 20.

Closed hosted service under terms (last updated 18 October 2026) naming Kasovy LLC, registered in Wyoming, with Wyoming law and a liability cap of 12 months' fees or USD 100; the plugin repository of manifests and skills is MIT, copyright Kasovy LLC (17 of 30). The privacy policy (26 October 2026) gives retention periods (7 days for resumes uploaded without an account, 90 days for detailed API usage records and relay mail, a 30-day frozen period before deletion, and what is kept after it), says providers don't train on content under their API terms and that demographic answers are not used for matching, and the extension has its own policy (28 September 2026) saying nothing leaves the device unless AI answers are turned on; no DPA was found, and hashed emails and click IDs go to ad platforms (22 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices; the terms promise notice by email or in the product before material changes, and the switch to guest search was recorded only in a commit (4 of 20). Providers are named (OpenAI and Anthropic through Cloudflare's AI Gateway, Google Gemini, AWS S3 and SES, TypeSafe, Stripe, Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Expo, PostHog, Sentry, Gravatar, and Meta, TikTok, Google and X for ads), resume files are stored in AWS eu-central-1, and most providers are in the United States under standard contractual clauses (16 of 20). 17+22+4+16 = 59.

Recruitee 81

Closed service with published terms, last modified 15 June 2026 and unchanged on 4 November, and a PDF copy (15). The terms, DPA and privacy policy agree. Customer content can be exported through the API for 30 days after termination and may then be deleted, and data stays in the EU unless the customer instructs otherwise. Retention periods for user data are available only on request (24). The Careers Site API token requirement has a dated notice (10 February 2027), and one option is labelled deprecated in the generated reference (minutes, use seconds) without a date. No deprecation policy or notice period was found. Dated notices with no stated period earn 15, as this run reads the line (15, from 8). Sub-processors are listed with entities and locations in DPA Appendix 3 and in the trust centre (17 listed), with six weeks' notice of changes (20). Total 74.

NeverApply 66

MCP reading. 15 tools, 6 read, 6 edit and 3 apply, in the 11 to 30 band (15); guests see a two-tool subset and scopes split read, edit and apply access, though whether tools/list narrows by scope was not read (2 back, 17 of 25). search_jobs takes the user's filters with up to 20 results a call, get_matches pages with next_cursor, list_applications filters by status (needs_answer, ready_to_send, stale, interview, offer), and the Jobs API has a fields sparse fieldset, per_page and cursor feeds (18 of 20). auth.md gives an action for 401, 429 and the OAuth errors, MCP limit errors carry reset and retry fields, and results carry status and next_action the skills act on; no full code list, and the Jobs API's documented envelope and component schemas disagree (13 of 20). apply_to_job takes an idempotency_key, approvals and answers take review_version, a repeat tailor_resume call reads the same copy without paying twice, and auth.md says never to repeat an application blindly; readOnlyHint and destructiveHint were not read (12 of 20). Most tools need one ID, but there is no official SDK (6 of 15). 17+18+13+12+6 = 66.

Recruitee 43

List and search endpoints take limit, with defaults of 60 or 100, but no field selection, and candidate objects are large (10). limit and offset or page, sort_by, created_after and a filters_json filter language on search (16). Errors are JSON, in two shapes, an error list with error_fields by field or an errors list with code and message. They are documented by example only (11). No idempotency keys or safe-retry guidance found (0). Few required parameters beyond the company ID, and no official SDK was found (6). Per the 8 October check, confirmed in the getting started and search pages on 4 November.

NeverApply 50

Closed service. The latest dated change is a commit of 31 October 2026 to kasovy/neverapply-mcp documenting guest access to search_jobs and get_job, after a tag v1.0.0 on 21 October; the privacy policy was updated on 26 October and the terms on 18 October (30). One tagged release and 16 commits from 25 September to 31 October 2026, with no changelog or release notes, so partial (10 of 20). No public changelog; support is a contact form, hello@neverapply.co and security@neverapply.co, with a stated reply within one business day and a median first reply of about two hours in staffed hours; GitHub issues could not be read because the GitHub API was not available to us (5 of 15). The server card names co.neverapply/neverapply and llms.txt says it was published to the official MCP registry on 25 September 2026, but the registry could not be read, so it is scored absent; no official SDK (0 of 15). The plugin repository has no runtime dependencies and a CI workflow that validates every manifest against its published schema, with a release workflow on tags; actions are pinned to major tags and the run results were not readable (5 of 10). 30+10+5+0+5 = 50.

Recruitee 30

No readable dated source of Tellent's own shows an API change in the last 30 days. The generated reference's Last-Modified header moved to 3 November 2026, but its example payloads carry regeneration timestamps (about 1,300 dated 2 November), so the date records a rebuild, not a change. The latest dated API change found is the Careers Site API token, documented on a page updated on 12 August 2026 with screenshots of that day, which makes the token mandatory from 10 February 2027 (20, from 30). The product updates entries counted on 8 October (five for the hiring product between 26 August and 1 October) were read from the data feed the page loads by script, a reading this run doesn't use, and the updates pages, changelog and articles answer only a script shell today, so the 90-day line has no readable entries (0, from 20). A public product updates site and chat support whose stated scope is finding endpoints and giving curl examples, per the 8 October check. No API changelog (10). No official SDK was found (0). No packages to assess (0). Total 30.

NeverApply 57

MCP reading, with the Jobs API described. The 15 tools' input schemas were not read, since no session was opened and the server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json lists tools only as 'dynamic'. An OpenAPI 3.1 file at https://neverapply.co/openapi.json covers 7 GET operations of the Jobs API with typed parameters, but every 200 response is typed as an integer constant (422, 401, 404 or 200) with no job schema, and no pagination fields are defined, so partial (12 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown authorisation guide at https://neverapply.co/auth.md (10). The three skills and GEMINI.md in the plugin repository say when to use each tool, in what order, which IDs to trust and where to stop and ask, and the MCP page groups the tools by access level; the hosted tool descriptions were not read (12 of 20). Jobs API parameters carry enums (experience level, salary period, visa sponsorship, clearance, education, sort), bounds (per_page 1 to 100, 500 or 1,000) and patterns on country codes; the MCP arguments are named in the skills without types (10 of 15). auth.md documents 401, the OAuth error codes, 429 and isError inside a 200, the skills name waiting_for_answers, open_review, upgrade_required and matches_state, and the OpenAPI description lists five error codes, but its components define different error shapes and no request or response example was found (8 of 15). /v1 paths, OpenAPI version 1.0.0 and a repository tag v1.0.0, but no changelog; /changelog answered a client error (5 of 15). 12+10+12+10+8+5 = 57.

Curated pages on docs.recruitee.com carry OpenAPI 3.1 fragments for 10 operations. The other 900 or so appear only in a generated HTML reference, and no downloadable spec was found (8). llms.txt on docs.recruitee.com and every curated page served as Markdown (10). Curated pages explain limits and filters. The generated reference gives one line per operation and labels groups by internal module names such as Pipeline.Web.Placement (8). Parameters are typed and marked required or optional, but booleans are passed as strings on some lists and filters travel as a JSON string (7). Every operation has an example request and response, with 422 shown on 63 examples, 403 on 21 and no 429, per the 8 October count (9). No API version or API changelog was found. The generated page's Last-Modified header (3 November 2026 on 4 November) is the only dated record, and its example payloads carry the regeneration dates (2). Total 44.
