Yes, many of our users keep Huntr as a personal CRM for warm contacts and recruiters they want to log manually, while ScoutJobs handles the bulk discovery + apply loop. The CSV export from each side lets the two stay loosely in sync.

What if I only want a tracker?

Then Huntr is a great pick and you don't need us. Our auto-tracker is built into Pro, but it's not the headline feature. The agent is. If you only want a board, save your money.

Does ScoutJobs apply to literally anything?

No. The agent works from your configured preferences and the platform's curated-match ranking. You can review or skip suggested applications, and autopilot settings live in ScoutJobs rather than a Huntr-style CSV import flow.

Huntr starts free, with Pro from about $27/mo on the 6-month plan up to $40/mo billed monthly. ScoutJobs starts free too; Pro is $29/mo or $19/mo billed yearly. Pro is where the agent applies for you.

The 30-second verdict

Both tools want you to land. ScoutJobs applies for you.

If you have time to manually find, save, and apply to every role, Huntr's tracker is excellent. If you'd rather wake up to an organized pipeline, ScoutJobs is built for that.

You want more applications out the door each week without the extra hours.
You're hunting across countries / time zones and can't watch every board.

Both end in a pipeline. Only one fills itself.

FAQ

Things people ask before switching.

Short, direct answers. We don't sell against Huntr. We describe two different products.

We tried to be. Huntr is genuinely one of the cleanest trackers on the market and we've used it ourselves. The point of this page isn't that Huntr is bad: it's that Huntr and ScoutJobs solve different problems. Huntr is a tracker; ScoutJobs is an agent.
