Pricing

Increase your performance.
Not your overhead costs.

Launch a role. UPPER sources, scores, and runs custom outreach—autonomously. You get interested candidates back with resumes, phone, email, and LinkedIn. Ignite plan is $1,250 per month. The daily grind turns into higher quality, faster candidate engagement at lower cost.

Cut the overhead. Keep the desk.

Boutiques keep the client relationship. In-house teams keep their recruiters. UPPER takes the hours and the extra seats out of the loop — source, score, custom outreach — on one subscription.

Seats + recruiter hours
The overhead
Point-tool seats, plus the hours your people still spend writing searches and sending mail. That is what we take off the desk.
UPPER · Ignite subscription
$1,250/mo
The machine stays on. Source, score, and custom outreach on every Rockstar search — one subscription, not another seat and not another hire.
Per-seat sourcing tools
$99–$500/mo
Cheaper on paper — because they sell your recruiter access. Someone on your team still writes the searches, screens the lists and sends every message.
A fully autonomous, humanized experience

Autonomous doesn't mean impersonal. UPPER runs the entire source–score–reach loop without a human in the seat, but every candidate touchpoint reads like a person wrote it — specific to their background, warm in tone, respectful of their time. Never a robotic mass blast. That's what you're paying a premium over a $99 tool for: a human conversation, delivered at machine scale. You get autonomous throughput; the candidate gets a genuinely human conversation.

Every plan · the full loop

Launch a role. Wake up to interested people.

There is no sourcing-only SKU. Every subscription runs the same machine: channels scanned, candidates scored, custom outreach sent. You can open any profile and take the phone or email — we already captured them. You are paying for the work, not a seat.

  • All major sourcing channels, in parallel
  • Match-scored shortlist of people who said yes to a conversation
  • Humanized, personalized outreach — run autonomously
  • Phone, email, and LinkedIn captured in the machine, on every plan

Volume is subject to the capacity and rate limits of the third-party applications you connect.

What would you keep — in dollars and in days?

Two models, because the economics are not the same. If you hire for your own company, the question is the overhead you stop carrying and the vacancy you don't absorb. If you place for clients, it is the sourcing hours back on your desk and the placements you can bill without adding a recruiter. Pick your side — every figure updates live, and every assumption is yours to edit.

Your hiring, your numbers

Roles you expect to fill in the next 12 months.
Base salary for a typical role you hire — the number your overhead is measured against.
Seats, sourcer hours, and any outside help — as a share of first-year salary. 15–25% is a common loaded range, but the slider runs 5–50% so agency-heavy and fully in-house desks both fit. Set it to match yours.
How long a role typically stays open today, start to signed offer.
Speed assumptions — illustrative, edit freely
Illustrative assumption: autonomous sourcing returns a ranked shortlist in days rather than weeks. Change it to whatever you consider realistic — the maths below follows your number, not ours.
Defaults to salary ÷ 260 working days as a rough fully-loaded proxy ($577/day at $150,000). Only working days are costed, so weekends are not billed as vacancy. Many teams use a higher figure for revenue-generating roles — override it here.

Figures are illustrative estimates generated from the inputs you choose, not a quote or a guarantee. The comparison uses your overhead assumption — seats, hours, and any outside help — as a share of first-year salary. Time-to-fill and vacancy-cost figures are your own editable assumptions; actual results vary by role, market and candidate availability. The Talent Agencies model uses your own assumptions for the share of sourcing hours UPPER absorbs and the share of freed capacity you fill; reclaimed hours become billings only where client demand exists, and capacity is counted in whole placements. UPPER prices shown are our published annual rates: Ignite $12,500, Grow $29,000, Scale $59,000.

Questions, answered.

A subscription to the autonomous recruiting OS. You launch a role; UPPER sources across connected channels, scores every candidate, and runs custom outreach. You get interested candidates back, with phone, email, and LinkedIn already in the machine. There is no sourcing-only plan.

Ignite is $1,250 a month. That replaces a pile of sourcer hours and extra seats — whether you bill clients or hire for your own company. Your people stay on the judgment calls. The machine does the grind.

Because a per-seat tool sells your recruiter access — they still write the queries, screen the lists and send every message, and the real cost is their time. UPPER sells the completed outcome: the source–score–reach loop runs autonomously and you receive a ranked shortlist. The right comparison is the hours and extra seats you no longer buy.

No — and this is deliberate. UPPER is built as a fully autonomous, humanized experience: automation carries the scale, but every candidate touchpoint is warm, specific to that person's background and written to read like a human wrote it. No robotic mass blasts, no template spam that damages your employer brand. Candidates get a personal conversation; you get autonomous throughput. That combination is what the premium over a cheap sourcing seat actually buys.

Ignite if you are a boutique principal or a 1–3 person talent team. Grow if several roles run at once. Scale if you want a dedicated success manager and unlimited Rockstar searches. Annual billing is about 17% less than monthly. Talk to sales if you are between two plans.

Every candidate UPPER surfaces for your role is yours to keep, on every plan. We never resell candidate or client data — read more on our Trust page.

Ignite is $1,250 a month. Your recruiters stay. The machine keeps the outreach personal.
