GetPruf vs Brainner
Brainner is a Chrome extension that overlays candidate scores inside your ATS. GetPruf is a full product: upload, score, report, PDF, audit trail. Different philosophies, different buyers. Here is how they compare.
Executive summary
Brainner optimizes for individual recruiter workflow speed via a Chrome extension that sits on top of your ATS. GetPruf optimizes for defensible scoring, shareable PDF reports, and cross-team audit trails. Brainner wins on zero-workflow-change stickiness. GetPruf wins on compliance, documentation, and environments where IT blocks browser extensions.
When Brainner wins
- You are an individual recruiter evaluating candidates in your existing ATS daily. Zero workflow change matters to you.
- Your IT permits unapproved Chrome extensions. Many enterprise environments do not.
- You do not need to share candidate evaluations outside the ATS. No PDF handoff to hiring managers or compliance teams.
When GetPruf wins
- You need a shareable, audit-ready PDF for hiring committees, MSP/VMS clients, or compliance files. Brainner does not produce one.
- Your IT environment blocks unapproved browser extensions. GetPruf works through any browser without install.
- You want to defend scoring in an EEOC challenge or board review. GetPruf publishes its methodology; Brainner's scoring is opaque.
- You onboard new recruiters often. GetPruf has one consistent UI; Brainner requires extension install + ATS permissions per recruiter.

Brainner
Per-seat pricing, approximately $30-$60 per user per month based on public listings. Seats scale with recruiter headcount, not volume of candidates screened.
