The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. That puts it at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no separate app on record. One kind of device, so C. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
