How they compare
Tavi as a Metaview alternative
Metaview built the best-known AI notetaker for recruiting and has grown into an agentic platform around it. The difference is where the work happens and what one agent covers: Tavi lives in Slack and runs the whole workflow there — sourcing, outreach, ATS updates, pipeline.

The difference in one table
| Feature | Metaview | Tavi |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An agentic recruiting platform that began as an AI interview notetaker. Web app with agents for sourcing, application review, notes and reports. | An AI recruiting agent that lives in Slack and handles the full workflow — like a team member, not a tool. |
| Where you work | The web app, plus a notetaker that joins your calls. Results live in dashboards and your ATS. | In Slack, in the channel your team already reads. No dashboard to learn. |
| Search | AI sourcing with autonomous outreach, metered by profiles sourced per month — 100 on the free tier, 200 on Pro, unlimited on Max. | Agentic: picks a strategy from your brief, then searches, evaluates and refines. 1B+ profiles including GitHub, papers, patents and org maps. 97.03 on PeopleSearchBench — #1. |
| Agents | One agent per function — sourcing, application review, notetaker, reports. The combined platform is custom enterprise pricing. | Tavi is the agent. Always on, learns your hiring bar, no add-on cost. |
| Outreach | Autonomous candidate outreach as part of the sourcing agent. | Multi-step sequences set up right in Slack, with every message individually drafted from the role, the candidate and your company context. |
| Interview notes | Its home turf: structured, competency-mapped notes and scorecards from every call, synced to your ATS. | Not what Tavi does. Tavi's work sits upstream — filling the pipeline that those interviews run on. |
| Integrations | ATS integrations — Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Gem, SmartRecruiters — plus scheduling and video tools. | Integrates with 400+ apps — Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Calendar, your ATS — automating workflows across the whole hiring process. |
| Pricing | Per seat: free tier (100 profiles sourced), Pro $100/user/mo (200/mo), Max $300/user/mo (unlimited). Full agent suite at custom enterprise pricing. | Per workspace, metered usage. No seats — one agent for the whole team. |
What you notice in the first week
Candidates get screened, not matched
Tavi researches every profile the way a human sourcer would — reading the full career and weighing it against your bar. A thorough, agentic assessment, beyond what a search engine can match.
It works your whole stack
With 400+ app integrations — Gmail, Sheets, Notion, Calendar, your ATS — Tavi runs recruiting ops across your tools like a real co-worker.
Where Metaview still wins
The strongest AI interview notetaker in recruiting: structured notes, scorecards and screening data that flow straight into your ATS. If interviews are your bottleneck, it is excellent.
One Tavi serves the whole workspace. On the independent people-search benchmark it scores 97.03 out of 100 — first of every platform evaluated.
What people ask before they switch
Is Metaview ever the better choice?
Yes. If your bottleneck is interviews rather than sourcing — capturing structured notes, scorecards and screening data at scale — Metaview's notetaker is the best-known in recruiting, and its free tier lets you try AI sourcing with no commitment.
You both do AI sourcing. What is actually different?
Metaview's sourcing agent finds and outreaches candidates, with monthly caps on profiles sourced per plan. Tavi is agentic end to end: it picks a sourcing strategy from your brief, runs and refines searches across 1B+ profiles plus GitHub, papers and patents, and keeps going until the shortlist holds up. It scored 97.03 on PeopleSearchBench, first among all platforms evaluated.
Does Tavi have a web dashboard?
No, by design. Search, review, outreach and pipeline live in Slack. When you want a structured view, Tavi writes to Google Sheets, Notion or a Slack canvas.
What does Tavi cost?
Per workspace with metered usage — no per-seat fees, no agent add-ons. The whole team shares one Tavi. Metaview is per seat: a free tier with 100 profiles sourced, Pro at $100/user/month, Max at $300/user/month, and the full agent suite at custom enterprise pricing.
Can we use Tavi alongside Metaview?
Yes — for many teams they are complementary, running side by side rather than wired together. Keep Metaview for interview notes and let Tavi run sourcing, outreach and pipeline in Slack. The two cover different halves of hiring: Tavi fills the pipeline, Metaview captures what happens once candidates reach the interview.
