In the Pin vs Noon matchup, Pin is the better AI recruiting agent for most hiring teams: it does more of the work, and it does it more precisely. Pin’s AI agent sources 24/7 across 850M+ profiles with 100% North American and European coverage. It runs outreach sequences with 5x better response rates than industry averages, books interviews on a built-in scheduler, and publishes its prices, starting with a free plan. Noon, by contrast, won’t tell you its price until a sales call, shares its SOC 2 report only under NDA, and publishes no customer case study.
The AI recruiting market reached $752 million in 2026 and is expected to hit $1.2 billion by 2033, according to SkyQuest’s AI Recruitment Market report. With 43% of companies now using AI for HR tasks - nearly doubled from 26% a year earlier, per SHRM’s 2025 Talent Trends report - the question isn’t whether to adopt an AI recruiting platform. It’s which one to pick.
This head-to-head comparison breaks down Pin and Noon across seven categories: database coverage, AI sourcing, outreach automation, interview scheduling, pricing, compliance, and agency support. Every section includes verifiable data so you can make the call yourself, and one section corrects the claims Noon’s own comparison pages make about Pin.
TL;DR:
- Agent vs agent, Pin does more. Pin’s AI agent works 24/7 in Assist or Autopilot mode over 850M+ pre-indexed profiles and books interviews on its own scheduler, no Calendly duct-tape required. Noon crawls the open web, publishes no database size, and books through a Calendly integration.
- No price until a sales call. Pin publishes a free plan, Solo at $99/mo billed annually, and Professional at $135 per user per month. Noon publishes no dollar price anywhere, and its 10x guarantee requires an annual contract, pays refunds after 12 months, and caps at $1,000,000.
- Little customer proof. Noon has no Capterra or Product Hunt listing and no published case study, and the big-brand tiles on its homepage link to podcast episodes. Pin is rated 4.8/5 on G2, the highest-rated AI recruiting software on G2.
- Security you can check. Pin’s SOC 2 Type II status, controls, and subprocessor list are public on trust.pin.com, and uptime is public on status.pin.com. Noon has neither and shares its report only under NDA.
- 5x better response rates vs. undisclosed. Pin’s sequences pair automated email with LinkedIn and SMS tasks and deliver 5x better response rates than industry averages. Noon documents email and SMS only and publishes no benchmark.
How Do Pin and Noon Compare at a Glance?
Pin runs the full recruiting workflow on one agent, from sourcing through scheduling, and publishes the proof: prices, database size, security status, and reviews. Noon asks you to take most of that on trust. The table below maps the feature-by-feature gaps (Noon facts re-checked September 28, 2026) before we unpack each category.

| 24/7 AI sourcing agent | ✅ Assist or Autopilot mode | ✅ Open-web agent |
| Learns from recruiter feedback | ✅ Every accept and pass | ✅ Thumbs-up/down calibration |
| Multi-channel outreach | ✅ Automated email plus LinkedIn and SMS tasks | ⚠️ Email and SMS only |
| Interview scheduling | ✅ Built-in | ⚠️ Through a Calendly integration |
| Free plan | ✅ No credit card | ⚠️ Not on pricing page; Free Trial button books a demo |
| Published pricing | ✅ Free, then from $99/mo | ❌ Quote only |
| Public trust center, status page, subprocessor list | ✅ trust.pin.com, status.pin.com, report on request | ❌ None; report under NDA, subprocessors via account team |
| Capterra listing | ✅ Listed, 5.0/5 | ❌ None |
| Built for agencies | ✅ Multi-client management | ⚠️ Agencies allowed only since July 2026 |
| ATS integrations | ✅ 120+ (add-on on Solo and Professional) | ⚠️ 20+ or 40+, depending on the page |
| Published customer case studies | ✅ Named customer results | ❌ None |
That’s the snapshot. Before we unpack each category, one correction of the record.
What Do Noon’s Comparison Pages Get Wrong About Pin?
Noon’s Pin pages don’t agree with each other. Its Pin comparison page lists Pin’s published prices (“Verified on pin.com, September 2026”), “Automated follow-ups and interview scheduling,” and “SOC 2 Type 2 with annual audits.” Other Noon pages, checked September 28, 2026, say the opposite. They sit inside a templated program of 1,232 sitemap URLs, including 732 “Talent 100” pages and 314 articles, and they now feed AI search answers about this matchup. Here’s the record, agent against agent:
| Noon’s claim about Pin (where it appears) | The fact (checked September 28, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Pin’s plans are “available on request” (six Noon alternatives pages) or “quote-based” (the “Noon vs Pin” article) | Pin publishes its plans on its pricing page: Free, Solo at $99/mo billed annually, and Professional at $135 per user per month annually or $179 monthly. Only Business is custom. |
| Pin is “built around Boolean and keyword search” (seven Noon alternatives pages) | Pin’s AI agent works from a plain-language role description and scores every candidate with a one-line reason. Nobody writes a Boolean string. |
| ”A recruiter still runs each search” (Noon’s Pin comparison page and its Pin review) | In Autopilot mode, Pin’s agent sources 24/7 across 850M+ profiles, re-sources as profiles change, and calibrates to your bar from every candidate you accept or pass on. |
| ”every interview is scheduled by a human” (Noon’s Pin vs Juicebox page); scheduling “Not publicly listed” (the “Noon vs Pin” article) | Pin’s agent proposes times against your calendar, handles reschedules, and sends the confirmation. |
| SOC 2 Type II and SSO/SAML are credentials “young self-serve tools have not built yet” (Noon’s Pin review) | Pin’s SOC 2 Type II status, controls, and subprocessor list are public on trust.pin.com, the report is available on request, and SSO/SAML comes on Business. |
Noon used to say much of this itself. Its November 2025 comparison of the two tools (March 25, 2026 capture) said Pin “manages interview scheduling automatically,” credited its automated follow-ups, and named Pin the “Best tool” for high-volume hiring. That URL now redirects to the “Noon vs Pin” article, updated July 21, 2026, which calls Pin’s scheduling “Not publicly listed as a core feature.”
Pin’s agent is both the more capable and the more precise of the two: it runs sourcing, outreach, and scheduling on one platform, with the highest candidate acceptance rate in the industry.
Which Platform Has a Bigger Candidate Database?
Pin has the larger database by a wide margin: 850M+ indexed profiles with 100% coverage across North America and Europe. Noon has no published database size figure - it searches the open web in real time instead. The median time to fill a nonexecutive role is 39 days, according to SHRM’s 2026 recruiting benchmarking, and database coverage is one of the biggest factors in reducing that number.
Every one of those 850M+ profiles is searchable and contactable directly from the platform, with no hopping between tools - the largest multi-source candidate database in the industry. No tabs to juggle.
Noon AI takes a fundamentally different approach. Its AI searches across the open web - LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, personal sites, and other public sources. That sounds broad, but it introduces a trade-off: you can’t verify the exact size or coverage of what you’re searching. For niche roles where candidates have minimal online presence, web-scraping approaches can miss profiles that a full-coverage, pre-indexed database would catch. Coverage gaps cost candidates.
That wasn’t always Noon’s pitch. In a June 2026 capture of its SeekOut comparison, Noon described both tools as “AI-powered sourcing platforms with 800M+ profile databases.” Today, its Pin comparison page says “Pin’s search is a database” as if that were a flaw.
Does database size actually affect outcomes? Recruiters using Pin fill positions in an average of 14 days - 82% faster than traditional methods, according to Pin’s 2026 user survey. When your database covers 850M+ people, the AI has more candidates to evaluate. More candidates in, better matches out.
Chart summary: Pin has 850M+ indexed profiles. The typical AI sourcing tool covers 200M-500M profiles. Noon AI’s database size is undisclosed (web-based sourcing). Source: Pin first-party data; vendor disclosures.
Here’s what surprised us while building Pin: for recruiters, database consistency matters as much as database size. A web crawl returns whatever it happens to reach that day, so the same search can surface a different shortlist on Monday than on Thursday, with no way to tell which one was complete.
That inconsistency creates a hidden cost. Recruiters end up running searches multiple times to feel confident in the coverage, adding hours of verification back into a process that’s supposed to save time. Pin cuts manual sourcing time by 90%, per Pin’s 2026 user survey - a number that only holds if the underlying database is stable and pre-indexed. For high-volume hiring - 10+ open roles simultaneously - that variance compounds into a meaningful productivity gap. Recruiters using Pin fill positions in an average of 14 days because they trust the first search, not the third. Consistency compounds.
How Does AI Sourcing Differ Between Pin and Noon?
Pin searches a proprietary database of 850M+ pre-indexed profiles; Noon crawls the open web autonomously. That’s the core difference, and it shapes everything from search consistency to contact data availability. Eighty-four percent of talent leaders plan to use AI sourcing in 2026, per Korn Ferry’s talent acquisition trends report - so choosing the right approach matters now.
From a single platform, Pin’s AI handles both needle-in-a-haystack specialist roles (think “series-B fintech CFO with APAC experience”) and high-volume hiring (50+ nurses in a metro area). Most competitors force you to choose one approach or the other. Pin doesn’t.
Noon AI sourcing relies on web crawling at query time. Its AI scans LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, Slack communities, and personal websites, and hiring managers calibrate each role with thumbs-up and thumbs-down feedback. That calibration is slow to start, and Noon has said as much: its November 2025 comparison listed “Not instantly precise without training” among Noon’s own cons. Noon’s buyer’s guide (June 2026 capture) says match accuracy “typically reaches 70-80%+ positive signal rates” only after 20-30 reviews. So the first couple dozen candidates on every new role are calibration, and even the target leaves 20-30% of matches earning a thumbs-down. Underneath, the search still depends on how visible a candidate is online at the moment the crawl runs.
Where does this difference show up in practice? Pin’s structured database means every search is consistent and repeatable. Search for “senior backend engineers in Austin with 5+ years of Python experience” today and you’ll get a complete result set. Run the same search next week and you’ll get the same coverage plus any new profiles. Repeatability. Web-scraping approaches, by contrast, can produce different results each time depending on indexing lag, site access, and profile availability.
Agent vs Agent: Which AI Does More, and More Precisely?
Pin’s AI agent does more of the recruiting work than Noon’s, and it does that work more precisely. In Autopilot mode, Pin’s agent sources around the clock, scores every candidate with a one-line reason you can audit, sends email sequences, follows up, and books interviews against your calendar. In Assist mode, you approve each step. Either way, it calibrates to your bar from every candidate you accept or pass on. The recruiter sets the bar; the agent does the searching, ranking, email outreach, and booking.
Noon markets its AI as a fully autonomous recruiting agent too. Yet its own Greenhouse setup guide, last updated October 2024, has the AI send “a new batch of candidates for your review” every day, and emails go out only after you confirm your verdicts. The bigger difference is what each agent runs on. Without a structured database to search, Noon’s agent makes judgment calls about which online profiles are relevant, current, and contactable, and those calls can vary run to run. Autonomy without precision just produces a longer list to review.
Precision is where the foundation shows. Pin’s agent works from pre-indexed, verified profiles, so it never has to guess whether a candidate’s information is current; that verification happened during indexing. According to Pin’s 2026 user survey, 83% of the candidates Pin recommends are accepted into hiring pipelines - the highest acceptance rate in the industry. That reliability is why recruiters trust the agent to run at scale.
Noon AI doesn’t publish a comparable candidate acceptance rate. Without that benchmark, it’s hard to evaluate whether Noon’s agent is finding the right people or just finding people. For teams that need predictable, auditable sourcing results - especially in regulated industries - the distinction matters. Predictability is the point.
Contact data is another advantage. Because profiles are pre-indexed with verified email addresses and phone numbers, recruiters move from “found a match” to “sent outreach” in minutes. That’s not a given. With web-based sourcing, contact information often requires a separate enrichment step - adding cost and latency before outreach can even begin. Pin’s contact lookups cost one credit per email or phone number, with 500 credits a month on Solo, 1,000 per user on Professional, and unlimited credits on Business, so the cost stays transparent.
Which Platform Delivers Better Outreach Results?
Pin delivers 5x better outreach response rates than industry averages across email, LinkedIn, and SMS. Noon AI doesn’t publish response rate benchmarks, making a direct comparison impossible on this metric. For context, the average cold email response rate hovers around 5% and LinkedIn outreach averages roughly 10% - benchmarks consistently cited across email marketing and sales research. Pin’s multi-channel performance sits well above both baselines.
Those industry-leading numbers aren’t accidental. The system sends personalized, multi-channel sequences that feel human because they’re built on Pin’s data about what messaging works for which candidates and roles. The channel mix itself moves the needle. Across a sample of 1,000,000+ outreach sequences in Pin’s index, recruiters who paired email with LinkedIn saw a 45% higher candidate response rate than email-only campaigns. Switch from generic cold outreach to Pin’s automated sequences and candidates respond because the messages read as relevant, not robotic.
Noon’s product page documents email and SMS sequences, and Noon publishes no response-rate benchmark to compare.
Chart summary: Pairing email with LinkedIn lifts candidate response rates 45% over email-only outreach, based on a sample of 1,000,000+ sequences in Pin’s index. Multi-channel sequencing is one driver of Pin’s 5x-better-than-industry response rates. Source: Pin first-party data.
Channel coverage matters too. Pin puts email, LinkedIn, and SMS touches in one sequence: email steps send automatically, and LinkedIn and SMS steps are recruiter tasks with AI-drafted messages. LinkedIn touches drive much of the lift: in Pin’s outreach benchmark, LinkedIn messages out-replied email roughly 3.4x.
Rich Rosen, Executive Recruiter at Cornerstone Search Associates, puts it bluntly: “Absolutely money maker for Recruiters… in 6 months I can directly attribute over $250K in revenue to Pin.” That kind of return comes from consistently high response rates converting into actual hires.
What About Interview Scheduling and Workflow Tools?
Pin’s interview scheduling is built in; Noon routes booking through a Calendly integration. That difference shapes the day-to-day recruiter experience more than almost any other feature. SHRM’s 2025 benchmarking data shows entry-level roles take 30-60 days to fill, and scheduling back-and-forth is a major contributor to those delays.
Pin’s scheduler, which handles calendar syncing, time zone detection, and confirmation workflows, books the interview automatically once a candidate responds to outreach - no manual coordination needed. Every day between “candidate interested” and “interview booked” is a day you might lose them to another offer.
Noon’s AI Scheduler books interviews through a Calendly integration, so booking depends on a third-party scheduling tool sitting between your calendar and the candidate. Every extra integration is one more thing to keep connected, and Noon’s own 10x guarantee requires customers to keep required integrations “connected and operational.”
Beyond scheduling, Pin offers a multi-channel team inbox where the entire recruiting team can see conversations in real time. That shared context eliminates the “wait, who last talked to this candidate?” problem. Analytics and reporting round out the platform: funnel efficiency, diversity metrics, and quality-of-hire signals, all in one view.
Pin’s AI candidate sourcing feeds directly into these workflow tools. Source a candidate, send outreach, book an interview, and track the outcome - all within one platform. That end-to-end workflow is where the real time savings compound. If you’re evaluating AI recruiting tools more broadly, workflow completeness should be near the top of your checklist.
How Does Pricing Compare?
Pin publishes every self-serve price, starting with a free plan (no credit card required) and Solo at $99/mo billed annually. Noon won’t tell you the price until a sales call: its pricing page says “Noon does not publish a dollar price.” That contrast is significant because organizations spent an average of $5,475 per nonexecutive hire in 2025, per SHRM’s 2025 Benchmarking Report. Tools that reduce that number justify themselves quickly. Opaque pricing makes the ROI math impossible before you’ve even started. No price, no plan.
Pin publishes its pricing clearly:
| Plan | Price | Key Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | No credit card required, 1 AI agent |
| Solo | $99/mo | Billed annually, 1 seat, 500 contact credits a month |
| Professional | $135/user/mo | Billed annually ($179 month-to-month), 1,000 credits per user a month |
| Business | Custom | Unlimited seats and contact credits |
Professional is available month-to-month at $179 per user, and annual billing saves about 25%. Each email or phone lookup costs one credit on every plan (Pin’s pricing page, re-checked September 28, 2026).
Noon AI pricing is not published anywhere. Its own guarantee terms, though, use example subscriptions from $10,000 to $100,000 a year. Those are Noon’s numbers, not ours. The fine print adds more:
- Terms (effective September 14, 2026). Usage beyond order-form limits is billed at “then-current standard overage rates” Noon doesn’t publish, and those fees are added to your renewal. “Unlimited” is subject to fair use, which contradicts the plan’s “no caps, no credits” pitch. Help exporting your own data is billable, and late invoices accrue up to 1.5% a month. Customers also assume “all risks arising from Customer’s hiring,” including claims by candidates. The markdown summary of these Terms that Noon serves to AI assistants mentions none of this.
- The 10x guarantee. It covers annual contracts only, and Noon “estimates” the time saved with a methodology it doesn’t publish. The target caps at $1,000,000, refunds exclude implementation, services, overages, and third-party fees, and any refund arrives after 12 months.
- Moving rules. In an August 23, 2026 capture of Noon’s pricing page, the guarantee was opt-in and paid out in free usage credits. Within five weeks, it became a full refund.
Why does pricing transparency matter? If you’re a solo recruiter, a small agency, or a startup talent team, you need to know what you’ll pay before committing to a demo-and-sales cycle. Pin’s free tier means you can test the platform today with zero risk. Try that with a “contact sales” pricing model.
The pricing gap also affects how each platform fits into your total recruiting spend. At $5,475 per nonexecutive hire (SHRM 2025 Benchmarking), even a single placement pays for multiple years of Pin’s Solo plan. At $99/mo billed annually ($1,188/yr), Solo is a predictable line item that justifies itself with a single hire. At the $10,000 to $100,000 subscriptions in Noon’s own guarantee examples, you’d need to save the cost of roughly 2 to 18 nonexecutive hires just to break even on the tool.
Pin’s multi-channel outreach delivers 5x better response rates than industry averages - see how.
How Do Onboarding and Customer Support Compare?
Pin’s onboarding starts with a free tier that requires no credit card and no sales call. You can create an account, run searches against 850M+ profiles, and evaluate candidate quality before spending anything. That self-serve model means teams start producing results in hours, not weeks. Search “pin.com reviews” and you’ll land on a 4.8/5 rating on G2 - the highest-rated AI recruiting software on the platform. Combined with 2,000+ organizations and 20,000+ users and a founding team that built and sold Interseller to Greenhouse, those reviews signal a product that holds up in production, not just demos.
Noon’s pricing page lists no free plan, and its Free Trial and Start for Free buttons open a demo-booking calendar. Teams evaluating tools on a budget can’t see results without first running a demo-and-sales cycle. That gating matters most when you’re trying to compare Noon AI’s output against Pin’s before you commit.
Customer proof is thin, too. As of September 28, 2026, Noon has no Capterra or Product Hunt listing for its recruiting product and no published customer case study. The MetLife, Goldman Sachs, and Logitech tiles atop its homepage link to episodes of Noon’s podcast. Its only customer quote is word-for-word from its November 2022 site, when Noon described a different product. You’d be buying on the demo alone.
Our Noon AI reviews breakdown tracks the full review record, pricing, and contract terms.
Support terms deserve a close read for the same reason. Noon’s published support policy commits to responding to an outage within 12 hours during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Pacific). Dated August 17, 2022, it still shows its uptime promise in template brackets, “[99.9%] availability,” and lets a customer designate only two support contacts, on a plan sold with unlimited seats. Outside that window, the 12-hour clock starts at the next business day. An outage reported Friday evening, in other words, doesn’t start the clock until Monday morning. Downtime during an active hiring campaign directly costs candidates, so ask how off-hours incidents are handled. Weigh that against the independent G2 record behind Pin, covered above, before you sign.
How Do Pin and Noon Handle Compliance and Security?
Pin’s SOC 2 Type II status, controls, and subprocessor list are public on trust.pin.com; Noon does not publish a SOC 2 report or trust center and shares security documents only under NDA. When you’re handling personally identifiable information for hundreds or thousands of candidates, that difference can be a deal-breaker - especially for enterprise buyers and regulated industries. Compliance is table stakes.
Pin’s SOC 2 Type II certification was verified by an independent auditor over a sustained period, not a point-in-time snapshot. The certification covers encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls, network security protocols, and authentication mechanisms. Pin also maintains a public Trust Center at trust.pin.com (powered by Wolfia) where you can check its SOC 2 Type II status and controls, review the subprocessor list, and request the report. Uptime is public at status.pin.com, and Pin publishes a separate privacy policy for candidates; Noon’s privacy policy mentions candidates once, in a Gmail disclosure.
On bias elimination, Pin’s AI runs checkpoints at every step, and because no candidate names, gender, or protected characteristics are ever fed to the model, the guardrails are structural rather than aspirational. To confirm they hold up in practice, the company runs regular team reviews of AI outputs alongside third-party fairness audits.
Noon’s security page, updated September 3, 2026, claims SOC 2 Type II compliance, but the report and its latest penetration-test summary are “available to enterprise buyers under NDA,” and there’s no public trust center. Noon also runs no public status page, subprocessor list, DPA, or help documentation; the subprocessor list comes through “your account team.” The SOC 2 claim itself surfaced recently: a June 2026 capture of Noon’s own article on SOC 2 recruiting software makes no SOC 2 claim for Noon. For procurement teams, that means paperwork before the security review can even start. G2’s 2026 Buyer Behavior Report names IT security review as the biggest source of deal delay, cited by 39% of buyers and 50% of enterprise buyers. An NDA gate only adds to it.

Which Platform Works Better for Recruiting Agencies?
Pin was built with agencies in mind, including multi-client management; Noon only began permitting recruitment agencies as users in a July 2026 terms update. That matters because agencies juggle dozens of open roles across multiple clients simultaneously, measuring success in placements and revenue - not just hires. Placements pay the bills.
If you are comparing AI platform workflows to job-board volume strategies, also review our guide on picking between ZipRecruiter and Indeed.
Pin’s multi-client management lets agencies run sourcing, outreach, and scheduling across multiple clients from a single account. No switching between dashboards or maintaining separate logins. The analytics layer tracks performance per client, so you can demonstrate ROI to each account.
Nick Poloni, President at Cascadia Search Group, illustrates what this looks like at scale: “I jumped into Pin solo toward the end of 2025 and closed out the year with over $1M in billings during just the final 4 months - no team, no agency. The sourcing data is incredible, scanning 850M+ profiles with recruiter-level precision to uncover perfect-fit candidates I’d never find otherwise.”
Noon cites 20+ ATS integrations on most pages and “40+” on its integrations page, so confirm your exact system before you sign. Agencies are new territory for Noon: its own blog says recruitment agencies have been “permitted users since the July 2026 terms update,” which leaves little agency track record to check. If you’re running 15 active searches across 8 clients, that’s a lot of risk to place on a vendor’s first few months with agencies. More unknowns, more overhead.

Pin vs Noon: The Final Verdict
Recruiters using Pin fill positions in an average of 14 days - 82% faster than traditional methods - with an 83% candidate acceptance rate and 5x better outreach response rates. For most teams evaluating the pin vs noon question, the deciding factor comes down to workflow completeness and pricing transparency: Pin delivers both; Noon delivers neither.
Choose Pin if you want:
- A verifiable 850M+ profile database with 100% North American and European coverage
- An AI agent that works 24/7 in Assist or Autopilot mode and learns from every candidate you accept or pass on
- Published performance metrics (5x better outreach response rates, 83% candidate acceptance rate, 14-day average fill time)
- End-to-end workflow: sourcing, outreach, scheduling, and team inbox in one platform
- Published pricing: a free plan, then Solo at $99/mo billed annually
- A public trust center and a 4.8/5 rating on G2, the highest-rated AI recruiting software on G2
- Agency multi-client support out of the box
Consider Noon only if you:
- Can sign an annual contract before seeing a price
- Accept a refund guarantee that Noon measures itself, pays after 12 months, and caps at $1,000,000
- Don’t need a public trust center, a status page, or a published case study
- Can route every support ticket through two designated contacts, with business-hours outage response
For most recruiting teams - in-house or agency - Pin delivers the more complete, transparent, and proven package. Database scale. Outreach performance. Workflow coverage. The combination is difficult for a single competitor to match. And with a free tier, you don’t have to take our word for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pin or Noon better for small recruiting teams?
Pin is the better choice for small teams. It offers a free plan (no credit card required) and paid plans starting at $99/mo billed annually, making it accessible without enterprise budgets. Noon won’t tell you the price until a sales call, and its own guarantee examples assume subscriptions of $10,000 to $100,000 a year. Pin also bundles sourcing, outreach, and scheduling in one platform - small teams benefit from fewer tools to manage.
How much does Pin cost?
Pin’s Free plan needs no credit card, and Solo costs $99/mo billed annually. Professional costs $135 per user per month billed annually, or $179 month-to-month, and Business is custom with unlimited seats and contact credits. Every email or phone lookup costs one credit. Noon AI publishes no dollar price anywhere, so you need a sales call for a quote.
Does Noon have a candidate database like Pin?
No. Noon searches the open web (LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, personal sites) in real time rather than maintaining a proprietary database. Pin indexes 850M+ profiles in a searchable database with 100% North American and European coverage. That makes Pin’s results consistent and repeatable, and you can size coverage for a niche role before you buy.
What is the average response rate for AI recruiting outreach?
Industry benchmarks sit around 5% for cold email and 10% for LinkedIn outreach, per LevelUp Leads and Belkins (2025). Pin’s multi-channel outreach sequences deliver 5x better response rates than industry averages - well above those baselines. Noon’s response rate data is not published, making direct comparison difficult.
Is Pin SOC 2 certified?
Yes. Pin holds SOC 2 Type II certification, covering encryption, access controls, and network security. Its SOC 2 Type II status, controls, and subprocessor list are public on trust.pin.com, and the report is available on request. Noon claims SOC 2 Type II on its security page but does not publish a SOC 2 report or trust center; it shares security documents only under NDA.
Can recruiting agencies use Pin for multiple clients?
Yes. Pin includes built-in multi-client management designed for recruiting agencies. You can run sourcing, outreach, and scheduling across multiple clients from a single account with per-client analytics. One agency principal reported closing over $1M in billings in 4 months using Pin as a solo operator.
Does Noon offer a free trial?
Noon’s pricing page lists no free plan, and its Free Trial and Start for Free buttons open a demo-booking calendar. No trial terms are published. Pin offers a free plan with no credit card required - you can run searches, evaluate candidate quality, and test the platform’s fit before committing any budget. That self-serve entry point is part of why 2,000+ organizations and 20,000+ users have adopted Pin.
When should you use Noon instead of Pin?
Only if you’re comfortable signing an annual contract before you see a price, backed by a refund guarantee Noon measures itself and pays after 12 months. You’d also be accepting an NDA-gated SOC 2 report, business-hours outage support, and a customer record with no published case study. For most teams, Pin is the better choice: it pairs an 850M+ profile database with built-in scheduling, published pricing that starts with a free plan, and a public trust center. If you need published performance benchmarks and a free way to test before you buy, start with Pin.
Which platform has better ATS integrations?
Pin connects to 120+ ATS platforms, included on Business and available as an add-on on Solo and Professional, with every self-serve price published. Noon cites 20+ ATS integrations on most pages and “40+” on its integrations page, and its integrations come inside a custom-priced plan you can’t evaluate without first booking a sales call.
