Recruiterflow alternative
Recruiterflow is an agency ATS and CRM published at $149 per user per month, or $119 per user on annual billing. Digital Arrow's Growth plan is $189 per month flat for up to 60 accounts and includes timesheets, invoicing and placement margin.
Recruiterflow is built around recruiter workflow: sequences, pipeline automation and client management for search and perm agencies. Its pricing is per user, published, and discounted for annual commitment.
Pricing side by side

- No SSO or SAML.

- A much smaller integration marketplace than any established vendor.
Questions
What is the best Recruiterflow alternative for contract staffing?
Digital Arrow covers contract staffing specifically: timesheets by project, client invoices generated from tracked time, and placement margin and markup reported by client and by contractor and weighted by hours logged. It is $189 per month flat at the Growth tier. Recruiterflow publishes $149 per user per month, or $119 on annual billing. Prices checked September 2026.
Does Digital Arrow have email sequences like Recruiterflow?
No. Digital Arrow sends transactional candidate email through each company's own SMTP and threads replies into a candidate inbox, but it does not have outbound sequence automation. Recruiterflow is the stronger product for outbound recruiting workflow.
