Both tools exist to put new vacancy leads in front of a recruitment desk, so the choice is about how each gets them there. Job Radar streams roles sourced direct from employer career pages into a dashboard updated every 2 hours, self-serve with published Solo and Team prices, a tailored Pro plan and a stream live within 24 hours of signup. Vacancysoft, a UK labour market data house founded in 2006, delivers Vacancy Tracker as a tailored daily feed of vacancy leads by email with client intelligence and market analytics behind it, on pricing tailored to the data you want. Pick by whether a self-serve stream every 2 hours or an analyst-curated daily briefing fits how your desk wins new business.
Job Radar publishes two of its three plans. Solo is £59 per month or £47 per month billed yearly, with 1 seat and 1 job stream category. Team, the most popular plan, is £99 per month or £79 per month billed yearly, with unlimited seats, 2 job stream categories and priority support. Pro is tailored to your team through a booked demo and adds CRM integration, custom category volume, hourly updates and a dedicated account manager. Extra job stream categories are £39 per month each. Every plan carries free setup, web and mobile access and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The 7-day free trial needs no credit card and only starts once the stream is live.
Vacancysoft does not publish pricing figures. As at July 2026 its site describes tailored pricing where you only pay for the data you want, so budgeting starts with its free trial form or a demo conversation rather than a rate card.
Vacancysoft suits desks that want an analyst-curated briefing with market analytics behind it. Founded in 2006, it describes itself as the UK's leading provider of labour market data and analytics, with software monitoring over half a million company websites 24/7 and professional analysts classifying and quality controlling each vacancy. Subscribers get a tailored daily feed of vacancy leads by email, a searchable online vacancy database, CSV export and hotlist building. The companion Vacancy Analytics product adds data visualisation across 14 sector modules for spotting emerging hotspots. For a firm that values curation, sector analytics and a daily rhythm of leads, Vacancysoft is built for exactly that.
Job Radar suits desks that win business by being first to a brand-new vacancy. A recruiter defines a category, a sector by region built from job title keywords, description keywords, experience level, job type, working arrangement and location. Matching roles stream in every 2 hours, sourced direct from employer career pages, verified active and showing how long each role has been live. Setup is free, the stream is live within 24 hours of signup and every plan exports to CSV in one click. If a self-serve stream with published Solo and Team pricing fits how your desk works, start with Job Radar, see how it compares with a contacts-led model in Job Radar vs JobGrabber or scan the wider field in Best Vacancysoft alternatives.
Both put new vacancy leads in front of recruitment desks. Job Radar is a self-serve stream of roles sourced direct from employer career pages, updated every 2 hours, with Solo and Team pricing published and Pro tailored. Vacancysoft is a labour market data and analytics house whose Vacancy Tracker delivers a tailored daily feed of vacancy leads by email, backed by analyst curation and market analytics, on tailored pricing.
Job Radar sources roles direct from employer career pages, verifies each one as active and shows how long it has been live. Vacancysoft states that its software monitors over half a million company websites 24/7 and that professional analysts classify and quality control each vacancy (as at July 2026).
Job Radar publishes Solo at £59 per month and Team at £99 per month (£47 and £79 billed yearly), with Pro tailored to your team. Vacancysoft does not publish pricing figures and describes tailored pricing where you only pay for the data you want, so budget through its trial or demo path.
Yes on both sides. Job Radar offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card that starts only once your stream is live, within 24 hours of signup. Vacancysoft offers a self-serve free trial registration form for Vacancy Tracker along with a book-a-demo path, though the trial duration is not published.
Job Radar streams are live within 24 hours of signup with free setup. The trial clock only starts once real data is flowing. Vacancysoft onboards through its free trial form or a demo. Its published materials do not state a setup timescale.
