Best for assessments and proctored exams
Mercer Mettl offers psychometric, aptitude, coding and language tests plus online proctoring, and is used for hiring, development and exams. The range is wide, and the pricing page lists no figures at all.
Who Mercer Mettl is for
- Fits if you want tests and proctoring for hiring and for exams from one vendor
- Works for organizations that need psychometric and language tests as well as coding
Who Mercer Mettl is not for
- Skip it if you only hire, because the suite also covers development and exams
- Not for you if you want a price: the pricing page asks you to contact sales
- Tight if you want to try first, since no free plan or self-serve trial is described
- Watch out: it offers customised plans only
Why Mercer Mettl gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial.
- CFeaturesPsychometric, coding, English and domain tests plus AI-assisted proctoring. The products span hiring, development and exams, so a hiring-only buyer pays for a broad suite.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to assemble and candidates to schedule. That puts it at C.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no separate app on record. One kind of device, so C.

Keep Mercer Mettl, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Mercer Mettl you could make: surveys and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 72 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Mercer Mettl’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
