TestGorilla
Skills tests, AI interviews and candidate sourcing for hiring teams
TestGorilla report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for testing candidates' skills before interviews
TestGorilla isn't an applicant tracker. It tests candidates' skills before you meet them, with 350+ tests, AI interviews and anti-cheating checks, and the free plan is good enough to start on. Paying gets steep, though, and linking tests to your tracker needs the $520 plan.
Who TestGorilla is for
- Great if resumes alone aren't telling you who can actually do the job
- Handy when you hire in volume and need to cut a long list down fast
- Good for small teams testing a handful of candidates a month for free
Who TestGorilla is not for
- Skip it if you need somewhere to track applicants, as it doesn't do that
- Pricey if you want test results flowing into your ATS, since that needs the $520 plan
- Tight if you lean on AI interviews, which cost 2 credits each and stack up
Why TestGorilla gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyGraded against the trackers it's listed beside. Assessments Core is $215 a month and up on yearly billing, and that's for testing alone, more than some of them charge for a whole ATS. Linking tests to your tracker needs Assessments Plus at $520 a month.
- BFree plan and trialA real free plan: 10 credits a month that refresh, 5 essential tests you can use as much as you like, and resume scoring. A small company testing a few candidates a month could stay on it.
- CFeaturesGraded against trackers, it does a smaller job: 350+ tests, AI interviews, video questions, coding tests and anti-cheating checks, plus a candidate search. It does testing fully, but it doesn't track applicants, so you need an ATS as well.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. The AI builder suggests tests from a job description, but credits that stack within an assessment take some working out.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with links to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR and Ashby, and invites sent from Gmail or Outlook. The ATS links and the API need Assessments Plus.

What this rests on. TestGorilla’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.
What is TestGorilla?
TestGorilla sells pre-hire skills testing and candidate sourcing rather than an applicant tracker. Gorilla Assessments sends candidates a mix of 350+ skills tests, AI interviews, video questions, job simulations and resume scoring, and Gorilla Sourcing searches a pool of candidate profiles. The two are bought separately, and the tests link to ATSs such as Greenhouse and Workday.
TestGorilla has a free plan. Paid plans start at $74 per Sourcing seat / month, billed annually; skills tests from $215 a month. See every plan
Good for
- Teams that want to test candidates' skills before booking interviews
- High-volume hiring where resumes alone do not separate applicants
- Companies that already have an ATS and want testing alongside it
Worth knowing
- It does not track applicants through a pipeline; ATS links to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR and Ashby need Assessments Plus.
- Tests run on credits: most cost 1 credit per candidate, while AI interviews and job simulations cost 2, and they stack within an assessment.
- Sourcing and Assessments are separate subscriptions; Sourcing Core is capped at 1 seat and Plus at 5.
- The prices shown are billed annually, and Assessments Core and Plus are listed as starting prices without the credits they include.
