Which one is for you

Pick TestGorilla if

- Watch out: Sourcing is a separate subscription from $74 a seat, capped at 1 seat on Core and 5 on Plus
- Watch out: Assessments prices are starting prices, billed annually, with no word on the credits included
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAHireflixFair | 2.2GPATestGorillaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$75 a month billed yearly for under 50 employees, between the cheaper quarter ($60) and the middle ($83) of hiring tools. Monthly billing is $150. | DGraded against the trackers it's listed beside. Assessments Core is $215 a month and up on yearly billing, and that's for testing alone, more than some of them charge for a whole ATS. Linking tests to your tracker needs Assessments Plus at $520 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for 1 month and no credit card is needed. There's no free plan. | BA free plan with 10 credits a month that refresh, 5 essential tests you can use as much as you like, and resume scoring. A small company testing a few candidates a month could stay on it. |
| Features | COne-way video interviews, invites, team review and an API, which covers that job fully. But it's a smaller job: no live interviews, assessments or scheduling. | CGraded against trackers, it does a smaller job: 350+ tests, AI interviews, video questions, coding tests and anti-cheating checks, plus a candidate search. It covers testing, but it doesn't track applicants, so you need an ATS as well. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You set up each position and its questions, though candidates need no account. | CNo App Store rating on record. The AI builder suggests tests from a job description, but credits that stack within an assessment take some working out. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but it links to Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Teamtailor and Recruitee, with an API. | BWeb only, with links to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR and Ashby, and invites sent from Gmail or Outlook. The ATS links and the API need Assessments Plus. |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
