⚡ Quick Answer: What is Juicebox?

Juicebox (also sold as PeopleGPT) is an AI recruiting platform built for sourcing candidates. Recruiters describe the person they need in plain English and Juicebox returns a ranked list of matching profiles, with a short explanation of why each one fits. Pricing is per seat: a Free plan, Starter at $99 to $119 a month, Growth at $179 to $199 a month, and custom Business pricing, plus an optional $199 a month Agents add-on that runs searches in the background. It finds candidates; it is not an applicant tracking system.

Our Research

Juicebox, also sold under the PeopleGPT name, is an AI recruiting platform focused on one job: finding candidates. Instead of building Boolean strings, a recruiter types a description of the ideal person, for example a senior Golang engineer in Bengaluru with fintech experience, and Juicebox returns a ranked list with a reasoning layer that explains why each profile matched. Candidate data is drawn from public professional sources such as LinkedIn and GitHub, which is why it is particularly useful for technical roles where open-source work is a signal. On Juicebox's own pricing page the Free plan gives limited searches, AI email templates, one Juicebox Agent set up and 5 one-off contact credits, with no exports. Starter is listed at $99 to $119 per seat a month with unlimited searches, 500 contact credits and 500 export credits a month, and one mailbox. Growth is $179 to $199 per seat a month with 1,500 contact credits and 1,500 exports per seat, up to 5 seats and 3 mailboxes per seat. Business is custom, annual only, and adds ATS and CRM integration, unlimited contact credits and priority support. Juicebox Agents, which run searches in the background and can auto-email or auto-shortlist, are $199 per agent per month. The limits to know about: Juicebox sits at the top of the funnel and does not replace an ATS, credits cap monthly reach, and the pricing page shows two price points per paid plan without labelling billing terms, so confirm the exact figure at checkout. Verdict: a strong choice for sourcing passive candidates, best started on the Free plan to judge result quality before paying.

Rating: 4.3/5 · Pricing: Free + $99–$199/seat/month
