You are paying for reporting twice.
cube19 is not a recruitment CRM. It is a reporting layer that sits on top of Bullhorn, which acquired it in November 2021. To use cube19, you must already be paying for Bullhorn — so your reporting costs you a second subscription on top of a licence you have already bought.
ATSpro takes the opposite approach. Leaderboards, activity heatmaps, AI revenue forecasting and a custom report builder are built into the CRM itself — same database, same licence, no add-on. £49 per user per month, reporting included.
To be fair to cube19: it is a good product, built in the UK, and it does what it says. The problem is not the tool — it is the architecture. A reporting layer bolted onto a CRM will always be a second system, a second bill, and a second place for your numbers to disagree with each other.
What the two stacks actually cost
Bullhorn and cube19 both quote privately; figures are estimates from what UK agencies report paying.

The reporting you were buying cube19 for
All of this is in the base ATSpro licence. There is no analytics tier, no BI seat, and no separate report-building engagement.
When cube19 is still the right answer
If you are committed to Bullhorn — mid-contract, deeply integrated, or running at a scale where switching CRM is a twelve-month programme — then cube19 is the path of least resistance, and swapping your entire CRM to change your reporting would be the tail wagging the dog.
ATSpro is worth a look at your next renewal, or if the thing that actually frustrates you is not the reports themselves but the fact that you are running two systems, paying two bills, and reconciling two versions of the same number. That is the problem this solves.
cube19 alternative FAQs
What is cube19?
cube19 is a business intelligence and reporting layer for recruitment agencies, founded in the UK and acquired by Bullhorn in November 2021. It provides activity-level metrics, consultant leaderboards, KPI dashboards and desk-level performance reporting. Crucially, cube19 is not a standalone recruitment CRM — it is purpose-built to sit on top of the Bullhorn platform. You cannot run an agency on cube19 alone.
Is cube19 an alternative to a recruitment CRM?
No. cube19 is a reporting and analytics layer, not an applicant tracking system or CRM. It reads data from Bullhorn and visualises it. To use cube19 you must already be a Bullhorn customer, which means paying for two products: the Bullhorn licence and the cube19 add-on. ATSpro takes a different approach — the reporting layer is built into the CRM itself, so there is one product, one licence, and one price.
How much does cube19 cost?
cube19 does not publish public pricing and is sold as an add-on to Bullhorn, typically quoted per user on top of the Bullhorn licence. The relevant figure is the combined cost: a Bullhorn licence (UK agencies typically report £120–200+ per user per month, plus a one-off implementation fee) plus the cube19 analytics add-on. ATSpro is £49 per user per month with reporting, dashboards, leaderboards and AI revenue forecasting included at no extra cost.
What is the best cube19 alternative for UK recruitment agencies?
That depends on what you are trying to replace. If you want a like-for-like BI layer on top of Bullhorn, you are looking at tools such as Power BI or Tableau with a custom Bullhorn connector — which means paying for a BI licence and building the reports yourself. If you are willing to change CRM, ATSpro removes the need for a separate analytics product entirely: consultant leaderboards, OnPoint activity heatmaps, AI revenue forecasting, a custom report builder, and live dashboards are built into the CRM at £49 per user per month.
Can I migrate from Bullhorn and cube19 to ATSpro?
Yes. ATSpro migrates candidates, companies, contacts, jobs, placements and historical activity from Bullhorn free of charge, and the reporting you were using cube19 for is available natively — no second subscription, no BI licence, no report-building project. Most UK agencies are live within days. Historical activity data carries across, so leaderboards and trend reports have history from day one.
Does ATSpro replace both Bullhorn and cube19?
Yes — that is the point. ATSpro is an ATS, a CRM, and the reporting layer in one platform at £49 per user per month. Agencies currently running Bullhorn plus cube19 are paying two subscriptions to get what ATSpro includes as standard, typically at a fraction of the combined cost. Reporting is not an add-on, a module, or a separate licence.
