Which one is for you
Pick TestDome if
- Fits if you hire now and then and want to pay only for the candidates you test
- Works for teams hiring developers who also need non-technical skills tests
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you test a few people: a 5-candidate pack is $20 each
- Watch out: multi-user accounts, ATS integrations, API access and SSO are listed under Enterprise
- Watch out: sales tax or VAT may be added to the listed prices
- Tight if you want a free trial with known terms, as only the 14 days are stated
Pick TestGorilla if
- Fits if resumes alone aren't telling you who can do the job
- Works for small teams testing a handful of candidates a month on 10 free credits
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need somewhere to track applicants, as it doesn't do that
- Pricey if you want test results flowing into your ATS, since that needs the $520 plan
- Tight if you lean on AI interviews, which cost 2 credits each and stack up
- 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
| 1.8GPATestDomeWeak | 2.2GPATestGorillaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$7 to $20 per candidate in prepaid packs, from $100 for 5 to $4,200 for 600. The category's figures are monthly subscriptions, so we put a 5-candidate pack against its middle and call it C. | 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 | DA 14-day trial is offered on the home page; its other terms aren't stated. A trial with unknown terms is a D. | 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 | CTest library, coding in 30+ languages, AI proctoring, live interviews and reports. Multi-user accounts, ATS links, API and SSO sit under Enterprise. | 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 store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to pick and candidates to invite. That puts it at C. | 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 | CWeb only, with no apps and no integrations outside Enterprise. One kind of device, so C. | 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. |

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.
