Find your role first vs JobsPipe for AI job search

By Find your role first team · October 18, 2026, 21:00 UTC

If you want a JobsPipe alternative, Find your role first wins on speed and price for job seekers: new roles reach our feed a median 16 minutes after the company posts them, measured, while JobsPipe states refresh "within 1 hour" only on its $348 and $525 plans, and we cost $9 a month against JobsPipe's $19.60 Seeker plan. Both of us offer a hosted MCP server, so this one comes down to speed and price.

Side by side

JobsPipe facts come from JobsPipe's site, as of October 2026. Our speed number comes from our own freshness study.

Speed: on JobsPipe, the plan sets the freshness

On JobsPipe, how fresh your results are depends on the plan. Its stated refresh is within 6 hours on the $49 and $149 plans, and within 1 hour on the $348 and $525 plans.

On ours there's one plan and one feed. We measured 52,556 roles where the company publishes an exact posting time, first seen October 4 to 17, 2026. The median role was in our feed 16 minutes after posting. 79% arrived within an hour, and 95% within three hours. You get that on the $9 plan and on the free console.

That window counts. Of roles we first saw October 5 to 9, 10% had closed within 3 days and 19% within 7 days.

Price for a job search

$9 a month is the lowest price of any paid job feed with AI agent access. It covers 3,000 new roles a month, up to 1,000 a day. Re-reading a role you already saw that month is free, so your agent can check back on a posting without costing you anything.

JobsPipe's Seeker plan is $19.60 for 10,000 credits. For a side-by-side of every paid feed with agent access, read job search MCP pricing.

What your agent gets from us

Our MCP tools are read only: search_jobs, get_job, get_changes and get_usage. Each result has the title, company, location, publication date, discovery date, original posting link and apply link. There's no description text, so your agent opens the posting itself when it needs the details. Nothing ever applies for you.

We read 15,000+ company career sites, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday, plus Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Netflix, every hour or two.
