Find your role first vs LoopCV: price, speed, MCP

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

If you want a LoopCV 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, against LoopCV's stated hourly collection on its $89.99 plan, and we cost $9 a month against LoopCV's $19.99 Standard plan. LoopCV does one thing we don't: it applies for you.

Side by side

Competitor facts come from LoopCV's pricing page, as of October 2026. Our speed number comes from our own freshness study.

Where we're faster and cheaper

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 it went live. 79% showed up within an hour and 95% within three hours.

That matters because roles don't stay open long. Of roles first seen October 5 to 9, 10% had closed within 3 days and 19% within 7 days. If the first list you see is a day old, you've lost part of that window.

On price, $9 a month is the lowest price of any paid job feed with AI agent access. LoopCV's Standard plan is $19.99, and hourly collection sits on the $89.99 plan. There's a full comparison of paid job feeds in job search MCP pricing.

We read 15,000+ company career sites, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the big company sites like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Netflix, every hour or two. Each result gives you the title, company, location, publication date, discovery date, the original posting link and the apply link.

Where LoopCV is the better fit

If you want a tool to send applications for you, LoopCV does that and we never will. Our MCP tools are read only: search_jobs, get_job, get_changes and get_usage. Nothing applies on your behalf.

Some people want volume and are happy to hand that off. That's a fair choice, and LoopCV is built for it. If you'd rather see a role in its first hour and write the application yourself, pick us.
