Frequently asked questions
Unlike the prevalent industry standard pricing models that charge arbitrarily based on recruiter count, resume downloads and features, our 2026 Freedom plans are remarkably simpler. Just pay one fixed price depending on your company size. No recruiter seat limits, no download limits, no other limitations. (Note that API/MCP access and some optional AI features may consume AI credits that may need to be purchased separately.)
Price depends on the total employee size of your overall organisation — not just your recruiting team, and not individual legal entities. That way, teams across the company can access Cutshort and collaborate on one plan without operational hassles.
Yes. In addition to our subscription model, Cutshort Assisted is a contingency model where our team helps you source and shortlist candidates. You pay only when you hire — 8.33% of CTC. Cutshort Assisted
In the subscription model, there is no per-success fee — you use the platform with your own team under a flat Freedom plan. In the Assisted model only, we charge 8.33% of the candidate's CTC upon a successful hire.
No. Cutshort is a talent sourcing platform. Cutshort Assisted is an agency-style offering for high-quality companies that lack recruiting bandwidth — combining our Talent Intelligence with human support.
Choose Freedom if your team has recruiting bandwidth and wants unlimited self-serve access at one flat price by company size. Choose Assisted if you need Cutshort's team to source and shortlist for you — you pay 8.33% of CTC only when you hire. Cutshort Assisted
No. Instead of selling individual job slots, Freedom plans make your job postings premium and give you access to Cutshort's talent database and hiring features under one flat subscription.
Yes. You can start a free trial of the subscription model — post roles, see candidate matches, and experience shortlist quality firsthand. No payment required to get started.
While most AI features are included for free, usage for a few optional features such as "Top 50 candidate finder" is separately counted. Once you consume included usage, you will get an option to buy more credits to continue using these features.
Certain API usage is included complimentary in our plans. You can generate eval API keys for free yourself after your account is approved. For higher usage limits, you may have to buy an API plan. Developer docs
You can try MCP access for free with our AI agent and get certain API usage in our pricing plans. For higher usage limits, you may have to buy an API plan. MCP & API docs

To staff for a critical client project at Fractal, we chose Cutshort over conventional vendors for their data and quality advantage. We not only made 40+ offers but are also super impressed with the quality of the recruitment funnel. We saw 2x more offer rate and 50% higher joining rates.

If you're an Indian startup struggling to hire quality talent - I get it. What has genuinely helped us scale our product at shoppin' is Cutshort. It is more than just a hiring platform. In last 1 year, we have hired 5 awesome team members and I've rarely come across a team so understanding, accommodating, and prompt.
