Metaview alternatives for recruiters: pick by the agent you're replacing

The best Metaview alternatives for recruiters depend on which Metaview agent you use. BrightHire, Greenhouse's built-in interview intelligence or Otter can replace the notetaker. A dedicated sourcing tool can replace Metaview's sourcing agents. Expert Hire or BrightHire Screen fit if you'd rather have AI run the first-round interview than record a human one.

That split matters because Metaview isn't one product anymore. It started as an interview notetaker, and it now sells agents for sourcing, application review and screening too, each priced on its own. So asking about Metaview competitors has three different answers. We've split them out below, and we've taken every price from the vendor's own page.

Key Takeaways

Our position: name the Metaview agent you're replacing before you compare anything. A notetaker, a sourcing agent and an AI interviewer are different products.
As of November 2026, Metaview prices per agent and per user. Its notetaker has a free plan with 25 calls a month and a Pro plan at $60 per user a month.
For interview notes, the main alternatives are BrightHire, the notetakers built into Greenhouse and Ashby, Screenloop, Otter and Expert Hire.
For sourcing, use a sourcing specialist. Expert Hire isn't a sourcing tool, so it isn't on that list.
If your bottleneck is the first-round interview itself, an AI interviewer may help more than a better notetaker.

Metaview alternatives for recruiters: the short answer

Pick your group first.

Replacing the notetaker. BrightHire, Greenhouse built-in interview intelligence, Ashby's AI Notetaker, Screenloop, Otter or Expert Hire's notetaker.
Replacing Metaview's Sourcing agent or fillmore. A sourcing specialist such as Juicebox.
Rethinking the first round. Expert Hire, BrightHire Screen or HeyMilo, which run the interview with AI instead of recording a human one.

Checked November 2, 2026: the citable facts, each from the vendor's own page.

Metaview's pricing page says "Pick what you need. Pay for what you use." and lists its notetaker at $0 (25 calls a month) or $60 per user a month on Pro, per Metaview's pricing page.
Metaview's fillmore agent "finds candidates, runs personalized outreach, and books screening calls autonomously", per Metaview's homepage.
Zoom acquired BrightHire, and "The transaction closed in December 2025", per Zoom's announcement.
Otter lists its Business plan at $19.99 per user a month billed annually, per Otter's pricing page.

What Metaview does now, and Metaview pricing

Metaview calls itself "the Agentic Recruiting Platform built for radically efficient hiring, end to end". Its agents cover "sourcing, screening, scheduling, and interviews". On the notes side, it says it "handles notes, scorecards, and follow-ups automatically".

Metaview pricing follows that agent model. As of November 2026, the pricing page says "Pick what you need. Pay for what you use." and splits plans into Sourcing, Application Review, Notetaker and All agents.

Notetaker. Free at $0 with 25 calls a month and basic transcription. Pro at $60 per user a month with unlimited calls. Enterprise is "Tailored pricing".
Sourcing. Free with the "First 100 profiles sourced free", Pro at $100 per user a month (200 profiles a month) and Max at $300 per user a month (unlimited profiles).
All agents. The full platform is sold on custom pricing.

We couldn't read G2 or Reddit reviews for this piece, so we won't say what users complain about. What's clear from the page is that costs depend on how many agents and users you add.

Alternatives to Metaview's interview notetaker

This section also answers a common question: what's the best AI notetaker for recruiting interviews? Our honest answer is that it depends on your ATS and on what you want the notes to do.

BrightHire

BrightHire says its interview intelligence "gives live interviews real-time guides, AI notes, and one-click feedback", per BrightHire's site. It also sells BrightHire Screen (an AI interviewer) and BrightHire Inbound (application review). Zoom now owns it.

Best for: larger teams that want notes plus interviewer guides, especially if they already run on Zoom.
Limit: prices aren't published. Its pricing page says interview intelligence is priced "by company size".

Greenhouse's built-in interview intelligence

Greenhouse describes its notetaker as "Built-in interview intelligence that maps AI-generated notes directly to structured scorecards", in Greenhouse's own guide.

Best for: Greenhouse customers who don't want another vendor.
Limit: it only helps if you're on Greenhouse.

Screenloop

Screenloop sells itself as an "AI ATS with Interview Intelligence & Automation".

Best for: teams that are replacing their ATS at the same time.
Limit: it's built around its own ATS, so check how the notetaker is sold on its own.

Otter

Otter is a general meeting assistant. Its recruiting agent offers "Candidate insights, automatic follow-ups, and notes sync with Greenhouse", and Business is $19.99 per user a month billed annually.

Best for: teams that want low-cost transcripts.
Limit: it's built for meetings in general, not scorecards first.

Ashby's AI Notetaker

Ashby sells an AI Notetaker add-on for its ATS, described as "Native AI Notetaking in Ashby connected to the rest of your All-in-One workflows", with AI-drafted feedback forms, per Ashby's AI Notetaker page.

Best for: teams already running Ashby as their ATS.
Limit: it's an Ashby add-on, so it only helps if you're on Ashby.

Also on most notetaker lists, not reviewed here: Truffle, Dover, Pin, Loxo and Elly.

Expert Hire's notetaker

The Expert Hire notetaker is a bot that "joins the calls you already booked on Zoom, Meet or Teams". It tells everyone the call is being recorded. On a candidate interview, it scores answers against the skills and weightage you set for the job. On a client intake call, it files a structured summary and marks gaps as "Not discussed" instead of making something up.

You can also upload a past recording and get it scored. The notetaker is on Starter and up, and pricing is per workspace, never per seat.

Best for: staffing agencies and technical teams that want client intake calls summarised and candidate interviews scored against the job's skills, in the same workspace as their AI interviews.
Limits: no interviewer-coaching analytics. Greenhouse is available today in early access, Lever and Ashby are supported with integrations rolling out, and Bullhorn is on the roadmap.

Alternatives to Metaview's sourcing agent

If you mainly use Metaview Sourcing or fillmore to find candidates, you want a sourcing specialist. Juicebox, for example, says it searches "800M global profiles and 30+ diverse data sources", per Juicebox's site.

Compare sourcing tools on the size of their data, how outreach works and how they push candidates into your ATS. Expert Hire isn't a sourcing tool, so we haven't listed it here.

If you'd rather AI ran the first round

Sometimes the real problem isn't the notes. It's that recruiters spend their week on first-round calls. In that case, a notetaker only makes those calls better documented. An AI interviewer takes them off your calendar.

Metaview itself now sells an AI screening agent that runs a recorded screening conversation and scores it against your rubric, so check whether you need to leave Metaview at all.

Expert Hire

Expert Hire is an AI interview platform for staffing agencies, hiring teams and campuses: it runs structured AI interviews and coding tests, scores them against your rubric, and gives each candidate a report card, priced per workspace from $99 a month. Beyond the first round, it records and scores your human interviews on Zoom, Meet or Teams, and summarises client calls.

The AI interview is live and two-way, with eight types including Coding and System Design, in seven languages. Coding tests run in many languages, C# included. Plans are Explorer $99, Starter $249, Growth $499 and Scale custom, with a 30-day trial that includes 75 Hire Credits.

Opt-in auto-shortlist and auto-reject thresholds are off by default, so there's no black-box pass/fail. Recruiters can change a score with a reason, and the team can view, comment on and share notes on each report card. For agencies, our staffing page shows how it fits client work.

BrightHire Screen

BrightHire describes Screen as "An AI interviewer that runs structured screening interviews, at scale", "Priced by interview volume".

Best for: teams already on BrightHire.
Limit: prices aren't published.

HeyMilo

HeyMilo screens applicants "with structured AI voice, video, SMS, and forms" and "Operates 24/7 in 20+ languages", per HeyMilo's site. It lists integrations with Greenhouse, Bullhorn and Ashby, among others.

Best for: high-volume screening, including hourly roles.
Limit: we didn't find published prices.

Notetaker or AI interviewer: how to tell which you need

Ask one question: do you want to keep running the first-round call yourself? If yes, you need a notetaker, and our explainer on interview intelligence platforms covers how they work.

If no, you need an AI interviewer. Our guide to what an AI interviewer is explains the difference. Some teams use both: AI for the first round, and a notetaker for the human rounds that follow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Metaview alternative for recruiters?

It depends on which Metaview agent you use. To replace the notetaker, look at BrightHire, Greenhouse's built-in notetaker, Otter or Expert Hire. To replace its sourcing agents, look at a sourcing specialist like Juicebox. If you want AI to run the first round instead, look at Expert Hire, BrightHire Screen or HeyMilo.

Is Metaview an AI interviewer or a notetaker?

Metaview is best known for its interview notetaker, and that's still a core product. Its site now also lists agents for sourcing, application review and screening, plus fillmore, which books screening calls. Check which agent you're actually paying for before you compare alternatives. For Metaview against BrightHire, see BrightHire vs Metaview.

How much does Metaview cost?

Metaview prices per agent and per user. As of November 2026, its pricing page lists the notetaker at $0 for 25 calls a month or $60 per user a month on Pro. The sourcing agent is free for the first 100 profiles, then $100 or $300 per user a month. Enterprise and all-agent plans are custom.

What is the best AI notetaker for recruiting interviews?

If you're on Greenhouse, its built-in notetaker maps notes to scorecards with no extra vendor. BrightHire adds interviewer guides, and Otter is the low-cost transcript option. Expert Hire's notetaker scores candidate interviews against the job's skills and summarises client calls, on Starter and up.

What is the best Metaview alternative for staffing agencies or technical hiring?

Agencies and technical teams often need two things: client intake calls captured properly, and a first round that tests real skills. Expert Hire's notetaker files intake summaries and marks gaps as "Not discussed", and its AI interview and coding test handle technical first rounds. It isn't a sourcing tool, so pair it with one if you rely on Metaview's sourcing agents.

The bottom line

Metaview is now a notetaker, a sourcing agent and a screener, priced per agent. Name the agent you're replacing, then pick from that list. Check prices on the vendor's own page, because per-user and per-agent costs add up differently for every team. Our pricing page shows what each Expert Hire plan includes.
