How much does Manatal cost per month?

Manatal publishes 4 plans: Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, and a Custom plan on demand. The entry tier looks affordable, but per Manatal's FAQ verbatim: Workflow Automations are exclusive to Enterprise and above; SSO, User Groups, API access, ChatGPT/LLM integration, the MCP Server, and priority support are exclusive to Enterprise Plus. The functionality an in-house team needs typically lives on the top two tiers, and Manatal pricing is per-user, so the cost compounds with team size. 100Hires Starter at $99 a month includes the API, the native MCP server, multi-step workflow automation, and the AI features in plan - no per-feature add-on or tier-by-tier negotiation.

How do I cancel my Manatal subscription?

Per Manatal's subscription docs, cancellation is self-service: Administration > Subscription > Manage Subscription > Cancel subscription. You select a cancellation reason and click Unsubscribe. Subscription expires at the end of the current billing cycle. Manatal's docs do not explicitly cover refund policy, data retention period after cancellation, or downgrade timing - the 100Hires specialist helps you confirm those terms with Manatal before you cancel.

Will 100Hires help me migrate my Manatal data?

Yes - 100Hires runs a hands-on migration program for teams switching from another ATS, and we are extending that program to Manatal customers. An onboarding specialist runs the kickoff call, walks you through what Manatal exposes for export, helps you validate a sample, and confirms the cutover plan together. This is guided self-service rather than a black-box automation - you stay in control of the data, the specialist brings the playbook.

What if I don't have Manatal Enterprise Plus - is there still an export path?

Yes. Manatal's admin export covers candidates, jobs, applications, attachments, and the custom fields you have configured. The 100Hires specialist works with that export plus any data accessible from your Manatal admin account - no Manatal API key required. If you do have Enterprise Plus, the API path is faster, but the migration works on lower tiers too.

How long does the migration take?

Timeline depends on workspace size, the integrations you have on Manatal, and your renewal date. The 100Hires specialist quotes a realistic timeline on the kickoff call after scoping your account. We always recommend a sample-validation step and a parallel-run window before cutover, so the project is structured around catching problems before your team starts working in 100Hires rather than racing to a date.

When should I start the migration relative to my Manatal renewal?

100Hires recommends booking the kickoff call at least 60 days before your Manatal renewal so the specialist can scope, validate a sample, and confirm cutover before you have to renew. Manatal's self-service cancellation expires at end of billing cycle - timing the cutover before renewal saves a cycle.

What happens to my open jobs and applications during the switch?

100Hires recommends a parallel-run period - your Manatal workspace stays open while imported data lands in 100Hires, then you cut over a few jobs at a time so candidates always have one system to check. The 100Hires specialist helps you sequence which jobs move first based on close dates and interview activity.

Do I need to involve my IT, legal, or security team?

Yes for any move between SaaS ATS platforms. 100Hires shares the security documentation your team needs at the kickoff call - DPA, security questionnaire, sub-processor list, and current compliance status. The 100Hires specialist also helps you read your Manatal contract before the cancellation conversation so legal and procurement can plan timing.

How is 100Hires AI different from Manatal AI?

Two practical differences worth knowing for a Manatal evaluator. First: pricing model. Manatal gates ChatGPT/LLM integration and the MCP Server to the Enterprise Plus tier; 100Hires Starter at $99 per month includes AI Score, AI Copilot, AI Email Composer, AI JD Generator, and the native MCP server with no add-on negotiation. Second: scoring depth. 100Hires gives a single 0-to-100 AI Score on every candidate, per-criteria breakdown, AI summary, and full reasoning - the recruiter sorts the inbox once and reads the top profiles. The 100Hires AI runs on a frontier-class language model swapped as better ones ship.

Migrate from Manatal to 100Hires - in-house ATS with API on every plan

Manatal is a strong product for staffing agencies. The entry price looks genuinely low, the interface is simple to learn, the customer support team is responsive.

The reason in-house teams come looking for an alternative is rarely Manatal's execution. It is the workflow shape - and the upgrade path. Most of Manatal's customers are staffing and recruiting agencies. Multiple Manatal users on Reddit describe the product as "more suitable to agency rather than internal" and "more parsing-heavy and better suited for teams doing volume work".

For an in-house recruiting team running multi-stage pipelines, hiring-manager collaboration, AI scoring on every applicant, and workflow automation, the Professional plan does not include the basics. Workflow Automation needs the Enterprise tier. Open API and MCP Server need the Enterprise Plus tier. Each upgrade adds another negotiation - and the per-user math compounds.

100Hires vs Manatal: the side-by-side comparison

What "built for staffing agencies" actually changes for in-house teams

Manatal's heart is recruitment-agency CRM - shared candidate databases across clients, fast bulk operations, low entry price for solo or small-agency setups. That shape works well for agencies juggling 20+ active job orders for external clients.

In-house recruiting is a different shape. One role at a time, multi-stage interview pipelines, hiring-manager collaboration on the feedback panel, structured evaluations, knockout questions to deflect inbound at scale, AI scoring on every applicant to triage the inbox.

Each of these is a workflow, not a feature checkbox.

The practical effect on Manatal: in-house teams hit the upgrade path within 6-12 months. Multi-step automations need Enterprise. API and MCP need Enterprise Plus. ChatGPT integration needs Enterprise Plus. Each upgrade adds a per-user multiplier and another negotiation.

The result is that Manatal's entry pricing is genuinely affordable - until the in-house workflow needs the gated features and the upgrade conversation starts. Each tier above Professional adds another per-user multiplier and another negotiation.

100Hires is built for in-house from the ground up. Hiring managers join your account at no per-seat surcharge. Knockout questions are on day one. AI Score is on every applicant on every plan. Workflow automation is in Starter.

Full API and a native MCP server for Claude / Cursor / Codex are in Starter. The upgrade conversation moves from "what feature does this unlock" to "do we need more storage or more seats".

What hands-on migration from Manatal actually means

100Hires runs a hands-on migration program for teams switching from another ATS. We are extending that program to Manatal customers.

An onboarding specialist scopes your workspace with you on a kickoff call, walks you through what Manatal exposes for export, validates a sample together, and confirms the cutover plan on the call.

This is guided self-service rather than a black-box automation - you stay in control of the data, the specialist brings the playbook. The kickoff call covers your open jobs, custom fields, integrations, and history.

We map fields together, run a sample-validation pass first so you can see exactly what came over, and only then schedule cutover.

Manatal's docs cover importing INTO Manatal but not exporting OUT. The specialist works with what your Manatal admin export and Open API expose for the data you care about. There is no migration invoice on our side and no contract buyout fees.

Manatal's subscription is self-service to cancel per their docs, but refund and data-retention policies are not specified - the specialist helps you read the agreement before the cutover conversation.

After cutover the same specialist owns your account through a two-week stabilization window - the same person on the call, not an email handoff.
