Both Sorce and Swipejobs use a swipe-card UX. From the outside they look similar. They're not.

Swipejobs is a shift marketplace for hourly and gig workers — warehouse, delivery, retail, hospitality. You build a profile, browse available shifts, and swipe to claim one. The platform handles scheduling and pay.

Sorce is an AI auto-apply tool for full-time professional roles — software engineering, finance, marketing, sales, design. You upload a resume, swipe right on roles you like, and our AI agent submits the actual application on the company's career site (Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, etc.).

Different audiences. Different mechanics. Different jobs. Here's how to pick.

Who Swipejobs is right for

Swipejobs has earned its place. It's a real option if:

  • You want hourly or shift-based work. Swipejobs was built for this. Warehouse, delivery, retail, light industrial, hospitality.
  • You want flexibility. Pick up shifts when you want, work for multiple employers.
  • You're in a metro with strong coverage. Swipejobs has dense supply in some regions, sparse in others.
  • You don't need a resume or cover letter for the work you want. Hourly shift work doesn't typically require either.

Who Sorce is right for

Sorce wins for a different person. Specifically:

  • You're applying to salaried professional roles. Software, finance, marketing, sales, design, ops, product, data, biotech, legal, etc.
  • You want AI to apply for you. Sorce's AI agent submits real applications on Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS — not just LinkedIn Easy Apply.
  • You want the swipe UX without giving up application depth. Each "swipe right" triggers a tailored resume + cover letter, then the AI fills out the company's career site.
  • You want the largest jobs database in the AI auto-apply category. 5M+ open roles.

Feature-by-feature

Discovery model

Swipejobs: browse shifts that match your availability. Swipe to claim. The "match" is you to the shift, not your application to a role.

Sorce: browse jobs that match your resume + filters. Swipe right to apply, left to skip. The AI agent then submits each application. (Why the swipe UX works for jobs.)

The mental model differs:

  • Swipejobs: "I'm available Saturday — what shifts can I take?"
  • Sorce: "I want a full-time data engineer role — apply me to everything that fits."

What happens after you swipe right

This is the biggest functional gap.

  • Swipejobs: You're scheduled to work the shift. Show up at the time, do the work, get paid by Swipejobs.
  • Sorce: Our AI navigates to the company's career site, fills out the application form, uploads your resume, generates a tailored cover letter, and answers screening questions on your behalf. The company's recruiter receives a real application via their normal ATS pipeline.

Different value props. Swipejobs eliminates the application step entirely (because it's a shift). Sorce automates the application step that exists in professional hiring.

Free tier

Both are free at the entry level — but for different reasons:

  • Swipejobs free: Workers don't pay; employers pay the platform.
  • Sorce free: 40 swipes/day with full AI auto-apply. Paid tiers raise the cap.

If you're a worker on either platform, the entry cost is zero. The unit economics underneath are different.

AI agent

  • Swipejobs: No AI auto-apply, by design. The model doesn't need one — claiming a shift is one tap.
  • Sorce: AI agent that fills out career-site applications, generates tailored cover letters, and answers screening questions. This is the core of the product.

If you're applying to full-time roles, the AI agent is the entire reason to use Sorce.

Geography

  • Swipejobs: Strong in major US/UK/AU metros with high shift density. Sparser in low-density regions.
  • Sorce: Global. Wherever there are roles on Greenhouse/Workday/Lever/Ashby, Sorce can apply.

Cover letters and resumes

  • Swipejobs: Not part of the model.
  • Sorce: AI generates tailored cover letters per application, optimizes resume bullets per role.

If the role you want involves a cover letter, you're on Sorce.

Pricing

Sorce:

  • Free — 40 swipes/day with full AI auto-apply.
  • Paid tiers raise daily caps.

Swipejobs:

  • Free for workers.
  • Employers pay to post shifts.

You're not really comparing prices because both are free at the worker tier. The decision is: which platform has the kind of job you want?

What real users say

  • Swipejobs, App Store — "Easy to find shifts. Pay always shows up." Common signal among hourly workers.
  • Swipejobs, Reddit r/gigwork — "Great if you live in a city with a lot of shifts. Useless in my town."
  • Sorce, App Store — "Free, fast, and the cover letters get me interviews. No subscription fatigue." (@j.thomas)
  • Sorce, Y Combinator — F25 batch. 20M+ swipes, 1M+ applications. Placements at SpaceX, Anduril, NVIDIA, OpenAI.

The verdict

Use Swipejobs if: you want hourly or shift-based gig work, you're in a metro with strong coverage, and the work you want doesn't require a resume or cover letter.

Use Sorce if: you're applying to full-time professional roles, you want AI to actually submit each application for you, and you want the largest jobs database in the AI auto-apply category. For full-time job seekers, that's almost always the right answer.
