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. - **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: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial. - **Features: C.** Psychometric, 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to assemble and candidates to schedule.

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. - You could make: Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well. - 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.
