## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Criteria sells cognitive, personality and skills tests, plus async and live video interviewing, as three packages: Assess, Interview and Hire. Every package says Request Pricing, and AI proctoring, AI features and premium integrations cost extra.

- **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** A free trial is advertised, but its terms weren't on the pages we read. A trial with unknown terms is a D.
- **Features: C.** Cognitive, personality, risk and skills tests, plus video interviews. AI proctoring and AI features are paid upgrades on every package.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to choose and workflows to set up. That puts it at C.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web product with standard integrations, premium ones as extras. No desktop or phone app, so B.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Criteria Corp you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- You could make: Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Video calls.
- You could not: A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
