How we grade them
| 2.2GPATestGorillaFair | 2.2GPAWorkableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | DStandard is $299 a month on yearly billing for up to 20 employees, so that's what a ten-person company pays. It buys unlimited jobs, sourcing, a careers page and the API. That's the top of this category, and texting, video interviews and assessments still cost extra. |
| Free plan and trial | BA real free plan: 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. | CNo free plan, but a 15-day trial with Standard's features and no card. Workable Agent, the AI add-on, is left out of the trial. |
| Features | 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 does testing fully, but it doesn't track applicants, so you need an ATS as well. | BPosting to 200+ boards, a search of 400M+ profiles, interview kits and scorecards, self-scheduled interviews, calendar sync and EEO reporting. The whole hiring job, with an HR product for records and time off if you want it. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo App Store rating on record. There's a lot here, from sourcing to pipelines and permissions, so expect some setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with LinkedIn, Indeed, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Zoom, Teams and Meet, and the API from Standard up. No desktop app. |
| Best for | testing candidates' skills before interviews | posting jobs everywhere and sourcing more |

Worth knowing
TestGorilla

- Sourcing and Assessments are separate subscriptions; Sourcing Core is capped at 1 seat and Plus at 5.
- The prices shown are billed annually, and Assessments Core and Plus are listed as starting prices without the credits they include.
Workable
- Texting ($89), video interviews ($109) and assessments ($59 a month, billed annually, up to 20 employees) are add-ons on Standard; Premier includes them.
- Premier and Enterprise are billed annually only, and companies with more than 1,000 employees get a quote.
- Workable HR costs extra: $99 a month on its own, or $359 bundled with Standard recruiting, for up to 20 employees billed annually.
- Workable Agent uses AI credits: 1 per screen, 2 per sourced candidate, 10 per chat. 3,000 are free, then 5,000 cost $600; the trial excludes it.
