NeverApply vs Teamtailor

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.

Teamtailor 0

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No price is public. The pricing page asks for a quote (0). No free plan or free trial was found on the pricing page, in the sitemap or in the help centre (0). A person books a demo, signs an order form and creates the key in settings (0).

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.

Teamtailor 25

The reference is a Postman collection drawn by script at docs.teamtailor.com. The page's own HTML carries the introduction and the changelog, read on 4 November 2026. The 129 requests, their attribute tables and examples load from a collection data file the page prefetches, which this run doesn't read, so the 8 October readings of them are struck. No OpenAPI document or visible download of the collection was found, and the MCP tool schemas sit behind OAuth (0). No llms.txt or Markdown docs for the API. The llms.txt on www.teamtailor.com covers marketing pages only (0). The introduction explains authentication and key scopes, versioning, rate limits with advice to filter or paginate large endpoints such as /v1/answers, and pagination. Per-request descriptions weren't readable (5). No attribute tables, enums or required fields were readable. The introduction gives only page[size]'s default of 10 and maximum of 30 (0). Five worked request examples and a pagination response. The changelog names a JSON:API error body on 400 for POST /v1/notes and 422 answers on jobs, and no error reference was readable (5). Dated versions through X-Api-Version and a changelog from 2016 to 21 October 2026 (15). 0 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 5 + 15 = 25.

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.

Teamtailor 75

Graded on the REST API with the hosted lines. Statuspage site at status.teamtailor.com with an API group for the EU, US West and Asia Pacific regions beside the Applicant Tracking System, career site, analytics and marketing site, read from the page on 4 November 2026 (20). The history feed has six incidents since 6 August, all between 16 September and 1 October 2026 and none since. Each names some customers or one region. Five lasted 6 to 19 minutes, one on 28 September was 4 hours 25 minutes of intermittent slow responses in North America with three short periods of errors, and one on 1 October touched only the marketing website. Partial incidents read as minor (20). Rate limit published as 50 requests every 10 seconds, then HTTP 429 (15). The 429 comes with X-Rate-Limit-Reset giving the seconds left in the period. No backoff guidance, safe-retry guidance or idempotency keys were found in the readable introduction, so the reset header alone gives 10. No SLA is published, and the trust centre says Teamtailor typically does not commit to specific numbers, per the 8 October check (0). The API has been public since 2016 and carries no beta label (10). 20 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 75.

NeverApply 57

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.

Teamtailor 83

Closed service with published terms and conditions, last updated 2 May 2026, that cover APIs in section 14 (15). The DPA on the same page gives figures (backups kept 10 days, sub-processor copies up to 30 days after deletion, application logs 365 days, candidate event logs 28 days, deletion within 60 days of termination), and the privacy notice and the MCP privacy policy agree with it, per the 8 October check for the last two (26). Breaking API changes ship as new dated versions and the terms promise 30 days' written notice of a change that significantly harms a customer's operations. The changelog posts dated deprecations, such as facebook-id and facebook-profile on 29 September 2026, with no period before removal, so dated notices with no period (15). Sub-processor lists for each of three regions, hosting in Ireland, Oregon and Australia, and 14 days' notice of changes (20). 15 + 26 + 15 + 20 = 76.

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.

Teamtailor 52

page[size] caps a page at 30 records and include pulls related records into one call, per the introduction read on 4 November 2026. No field selection is documented, and JSON:API responses carry link objects for every relationship. The MCP server lists 48 tools, split by read, write and delete scope, per the 8 October help centre reading (12). Cursor links, page size, filter[...] parameters and sort on list endpoints, shown in the introduction's examples (18). Errors follow JSON:API. The changelog names a JSON:API error body on 400 for POST /v1/notes and 422 answers on jobs, and the introduction documents the 429. The per-request error examples and the 8 October unauthenticated request are struck (8). No idempotency keys. The introduction's candidate example sets merge to true, and the MCP privacy policy says destructive tools are annotated, which we could not verify without signing in (8). Few required attributes, but every call needs the version header, and no official SDK was found (6). 12 + 18 + 8 + 8 + 6 = 52.

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.

Teamtailor 58

The newest API changelog entry is dated 21 October 2026, adding language-code to candidates and job applications and read-only interview kits (30). Four dated entries since 6 August, on 25 August, 28 September, 29 September and 21 October 2026 (20). A public changelog and a support address, with the help centre stating that API implementation support is not given (8). No official SDK was found, and no official MCP server entry from the vendor was found (0). No packages to assess (0). 30 + 20 + 8 + 0 + 0 = 58.
