A Juicebox alternative that charges per candidate, not per seat
Juicebox (PeopleGPT) is an AI sourcing tool billed per seat. MiniSourcer also sources with AI but charges only for the candidates you actually get.
Juicebox — PeopleGPT — popularised “describe the role, get matched profiles”. It is a strong product sold on a per-seat subscription. MiniSourcer does the same job of sourcing and scoring with AI, but charges per candidate found, so a quiet month costs less than a busy one.

- Sourcing plus a lightweight candidate pipeline (statuses, notes) rather than a search tool alone.
- Email templates, one-click interview scheduling and a LinkedIn extension, so sourcing and outreach live in one place.
- You stay in charge of outreach — MiniSourcer drafts, you send.

Questions people ask

How does the per-candidate price compare to a seat?
A seat costs the same every month regardless of output. MiniSourcer is from about $0.085 per candidate you add, so cost tracks the work you actually do.
