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. - **Value for money: C.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A 14-day trial is offered on the home page; its other terms aren't stated. A trial with unknown terms is a D. - **Features: C.** Test library, coding in 30+ languages, AI proctoring, live interviews and reports. Multi-user accounts, ATS links, API and SSO sit under Enterprise. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to pick and candidates to invite. That puts it at C. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no apps and no integrations outside Enterprise. One kind of device, so C. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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. - You could make: Reports: 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: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Skills tests, AI features, Video calls, Reports, Public API ## Alternatives - [HackerRank](https://toolgpa.com/tools/hackerrank): Coding assessments, pair-programming interviews and an AI interviewer.
