How they compare
Tavi as a Juicebox alternative
Juicebox made natural-language people search mainstream, and recently added Slack notifications. The difference is what happens around the search: Tavi lives in Slack and runs the whole workflow there — sourcing, outreach, ATS updates, pipeline.

The difference in one table
| Feature | Juicebox | Tavi |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI sourcing platform with a web dashboard. PeopleGPT search at the core, plus CRM, sequencing and add-on agents. | An AI recruiting agent that lives in Slack and handles the full workflow — like a team member, not a tool. |
| Where you work | The web app. The 2026 Slack integration pushes notifications and candidate review into channels; search, agents, CRM and sequencing stay in the browser. | In Slack, in the channel your team already reads. No dashboard to learn. |
| Search | 800M+ profiles across 30+ sources with AI filters and match scoring. Query-based. | Agentic: picks a strategy from your brief, then searches, evaluates and refines. 1B+ profiles including GitHub, papers, patents and org maps. 97.03 on PeopleSearchBench — #1. |
| Agents | A paid add-on at $199/month per job opening, and it requires the Growth tier ($199/mo). | Tavi is the agent. Always on, learns your hiring bar, no add-on cost. |
| Outreach | Multi-step email sequences with templates and open/reply tracking. | Multi-step sequences set up right in Slack, with every message individually drafted from the role, the candidate and your company context. |
| Integrations | Connects with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and 40+ other ATS platforms. | Integrates with 400+ apps — Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Calendar, your ATS — automating workflows across the whole hiring process. |
| Pricing | Web platform from $119/mo, Growth $199/mo, Business custom. Agents are a $199/mo add-on per job opening. | Per workspace, metered usage. No seats — one agent for the whole team. |

A polished web CRM your recruiters can drive solo, 40+ ATS integrations today, and a free tier to try before committing.

What people ask before they switch
Is Juicebox ever the better choice?
Yes. If you want a self-serve search dashboard with a built-in CRM, need one of the 40+ ATS platforms it already integrates with, or want a free tier to explore first, Juicebox does that well.
You both do AI search. What is actually different?
Juicebox search is query-based: you ask, it filters and scores. Tavi is agentic: it picks a sourcing strategy from your brief, runs and refines searches across 1B+ profiles plus GitHub, papers and patents, and keeps going until the shortlist holds up. It scored 97.03 on PeopleSearchBench, first among all platforms evaluated.
Does Tavi have a web dashboard?
No, by design. Search, review, outreach and pipeline live in Slack. When you want a structured view, Tavi writes to Google Sheets, Notion or a Slack canvas.
What does Tavi cost?
Per workspace with metered usage — no per-seat fees, no agent add-ons. The whole team shares one Tavi. Juicebox starts at $119/month for the web platform; its agents cost $199/month per job opening and require the Growth tier ($199/mo).
Can we switch from Juicebox?
Yes. Install Tavi in Slack, describe your open roles, and it picks up where your pipeline left off. Most teams run both in parallel for a couple of weeks.
