Best for skills tests paid per candidate
TestDome sells a library of skills tests plus live coding interviews, paid by prepaid packs of candidate invites rather than a subscription. The price falls from $20 to $7 a candidate as the pack grows, which suits occasional hiring, but teams, ATS links, API and SSO are Enterprise extras.
Who TestDome is for
- Fits if you hire now and then and want to pay only for the candidates you test
- Works for teams hiring developers who also need non-technical skills tests
Who TestDome is not for
- Pricey if you test a few people: a 5-candidate pack is $20 each
- Watch out: multi-user accounts, ATS integrations, API access and SSO are listed under Enterprise
- Watch out: sales tax or VAT may be added to the listed prices
- Tight if you want a free trial with known terms, as only the 14 days are stated
Why TestDome gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$7 to $20 per candidate in prepaid packs, from $100 for 5 to $4,200 for 600. The category's figures are monthly subscriptions, so we put a 5-candidate pack against its middle and call it C.
- DFree plan and trialA 14-day trial is offered on the home page; its other terms aren't stated. A trial with unknown terms is a D.
- CFeaturesTest library, coding in 30+ languages, AI proctoring, live interviews and reports. Multi-user accounts, ATS links, API and SSO sit under Enterprise.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to pick and candidates to invite. That puts it at C.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no apps and no integrations outside Enterprise. One kind of device, so C.

Keep TestDome, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace TestDome you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. TestDome’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.
