Am I correct when I say this era is more difficult to recruit in than the Bear Bryant era because of scholarship restrictions? Wasn't Bear allowed to bring in as many players as he wanted?

Saban hasn't exactly been a paragon in following the letter and purpose of the scholie rules.

No limits mean you have a wider margin for error and it's certainly more competitive now, but you also have much better information about players, which makes it easier to evaluate. Its much more competitive overall now, which imo makes it more difficult.

Keep in mind Wilkingson, Royalls and his major competitors stockpiled players as well. Its not like he was the only one doing it.
Look at the coaches he cranked out. Only a few such as Paul Brown have been able to do that at his level.
