Question 1

What is 10xats?

Accepted Answer

10xats is an independent review site for AI applicant tracking systems. We rank the field, publish long-form guides on technical hiring, and we are also building our own AI ATS product. The reviews are first; the product is on the way.

Question 2

Are vendors paying for the rankings or coverage?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not take vendor payments for placement, ordering, or wording. If a vendor sponsors something in the future we will label it explicitly inline. Comparisons reflect our reading of the public product, pricing pages, and documentation, plus hands-on use where we have access.

Question 3

When is the 10xats product shipping?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. We are building it. The waitlist is the only way to hear when it ships, and waitlist members get the first invite and the first published price.

Question 4

How do you choose which platforms to cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover platforms a 40-to-250-person tech team would actually evaluate as an alternative to their current ATS. New entries get added when they (a) publish a price or open a self-serve trial, and (b) have a real product surface to evaluate. Anything that requires a sales call to see a demo waits.

Question 5

I noticed a factual error. How do I report it?

Accepted Answer

Email matt@10xats.com with the page URL and the line. We have automated fact-checking on every published page (URL liveness, time-stamped vendor claims, and a full claims extractor that runs against fresh web searches), but we still get things wrong. Corrections land within 48 hours.

Question 6

Can vendors pitch us coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with caveats. Pitches go to matt@10xats.com. We will read what you send and we will not promise coverage in exchange. The fastest path to inclusion in a roundup is shipping a publicly priced, self-serve product surface that a buyer can evaluate without booking a call.
