We would rather you pick something else than something wrong. Here is a straight read of where TAP is different, and where a plain ATS or a spreadsheet is still the right answer.
Compare · vs Spreadsheets
A tab per project. A colour code no one remembers.
A spreadsheet is fast to start and slow to trust. It has no idea who a candidate is, who saw them last, or whether the two rows named "Anders" are the same person.

If you hire once a quarter, a spreadsheet is honestly fine. TAP earns its keep when you have a live pipeline of dozens or hundreds of candidates.
Compare · vs A generic ATS
A filing cabinet built in 2012.
Traditional applicant tracking systems are great at recording what happened. They are not great at helping you decide what to do next. TAP is built around the second job.

If you need a full public job board with careers-site widgets, TAP is not that today. If you already have that and just need a smarter workspace behind it, TAP fits next to it.
Compare · vs Point AI sourcing tools
A prompt box that returns a list.
A one-shot AI sourcing tool is a nice demo. TAP is a workspace: the search, the matching, the evaluation, the pipeline, the audit. One thing that keeps context between them.

If all you want is a search box, a point tool is lighter. TAP is heavier because it keeps state. That is what makes the second and third role you fill much faster than the first.
