XOR Pricing (2026): Plans, Costs and What You Actually Pay

XOR is one of the few recruiting vendors that prints a per-hire price. Here is what $500 a hire buys, where the price stops being public, and how to compare it.

NTRVSTA wrote this page. We make a competing product, so we stick to XOR's own published pricing and say where it isn't published.

The short answer

XOR pricing for its AI Recruiter offer is $500 per hire for blue-collar and hourly workers, with a $5,000 minimum payment that covers 10 hires. That is what XOR's own AI Recruiter page showed when we checked in November 2026. XOR also sells a Hiring Platform (text recruiting, chatbots, video interviewing, virtual career fairs), and that price is not published.

What you get on each XOR plan

Plan	Price	What's included	Best for
AI Recruiter (blue-collar and hourly)	$500 per hire; $5,000 minimum (10 hires)	XOR attracts candidates through AI digital marketing, virtual career fairs and referral programs, pre-screens them, and schedules them into your recruiters' calendars. First interviews in 2 to 5 business days, per XOR. Money-back guarantee for positions unclosed after 90 days	Employers filling hourly and blue-collar roles who want to pay only for hires
Hiring Platform	Not published	Text recruiting, AI chatbots, text-to-apply, video interviewing and virtual career fairs, per XOR's homepage	Teams that want to run the automation themselves

Two things the page does not spell out: an itemized list of what the per-hire fee covers, and a baseline for XOR's headline claim of saving 80% on blue-collar cost per hire. Neither is a red flag on its own, but both are worth asking about.

What drives the price

For the AI Recruiter offer, the lever is simple: the number of hires. XOR's order form asks three things (which positions, how many people, and where you hire), which suggests role type and location shape what it can deliver, though XOR does not publish different rates by role or region.

General levers to expect with pay-per-hire and platform recruiting deals (not XOR-specific claims):

Definition of a hire. Per-hire pricing depends on when a hire counts: offer accepted, first day worked, or a set number of days on the job.
Replacement terms. If a hire leaves in the first weeks, vendors differ on whether they replace, refund or charge again.
Minimum commitment. XOR's minimum is 10 hires. Larger blocks sometimes carry a lower rate, but only a quote tells you.
Platform scope. For subscription software, price usually tracks users, locations, message volume and integrations.

Questions to ask XOR before you buy

At what point does a candidate count as a hire for billing: accepted offer, start date or a retention period?
If a hire quits in the first two weeks, do you replace them at no charge?
If we pay the $5,000 minimum and only make six hires, what happens to the balance?
How does the 90-day money-back guarantee work for a single position versus a batch of openings?
Which of your 35+ integrations connect to our ATS, and is integration included in the per-hire fee?
Can we see how the "save 80%" figure is calculated, and against what baseline?
What does the Hiring Platform cost if we want to run text recruiting ourselves?

Cheaper or simpler options than XOR

Whether something is cheaper than $500 a hire depends on how many hires you make per month. These options price differently, so compare them at your volume.

Classet sells AI phone interviews for hourly and frontline roles: from $249 a month billed annually ($349 month to month) with 50 completed interviews, and 20 free interviews on every account. You run sourcing; Classet runs the first call.
Sense lists SMS/WhatsApp Messaging and Interview Scheduling from $500 a month each, and the full staffing platform from $2,000 a month. See our Sense pricing page.
Spark Hire offers one-way video interviews from $249 a month billed annually ($299 monthly). It suits teams that want recorded screens without candidate delivery.
NTRVSTA (us) gives you an agent, Carolina, that sources, sends outreach by email, SMS and WhatsApp, scores resumes and runs live AI interviews inside your ATS. Starter is $0 for one open role, Team is $490 a month billed annually, and Scale is $1,490 a month billed annually. Honestly, if what you want is a vendor to deliver hourly workers on a pay-per-hire basis, we are not that; XOR, Fountain or Workstream fit that flow better.
