Recruiting platform
Sonny vs Loxo.
Loxo is the closest big-name competitor — also AI-first, also built for recruitment teams. The differences are in the details: Sonny is leaner ($999/mo vs Loxo's typical $1,200+/seat/mo), ships a real Chrome extension, and bakes consent-first outreach into the flow rather than leaving compliance to the customer. Loxo wins on team-collaboration features and the deeper integrations of an older product.
Why agencies switch.
$999/mo flat, not per seat
Sonny Pro is one price for the agency, unlimited human seats. Loxo charges per user — fast-growing teams hit the ceiling quickly.
Brain (RAG) per-agency
Upload your ICPs, voice profile, top placements. Sonny injects them into every score, screen, and outreach. Loxo's AI is generic — yours becomes specific.
Headhunt with consent built in
Sonny's headhunt flow is SMS-first + Y-reply + voice agent with full audit trail. PECR-defensible by design — Loxo leaves compliance to you.
