The report card
Best for recorded video interviews for screening
Willo is a video interview tool where candidates record answers to your questions. Lite is $59 per live role a month with no contract and 5 roles at most. The AI features, ATS links and SSO are Enterprise only, from $3,799 a year.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $59 per live role a month on Lite with no contract, inside the category's cheaper quarter, but Enterprise starts at $3,799 a year, about $317 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on the pages read. |
| Features | C | Question types, scorecards, invites, ID checks and an API. It does that screening job, but it is not a full applicant tracker. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Questions and invites to set up for each role. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Zapier and an API, mostly on Enterprise. |
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.
Who Willo is for
- Fits if you screen many candidates with the same questions before live interviews
- Works for teams that want no annual contract
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay on Lite, as it is 5 live roles, 5 users and 150 assessed candidates per role
- Pricey if you need the AI, ATS links or SSO, as they are Enterprise only
- Watch out: ID, right-to-work and background checks are add-ons on Lite
- Skip it if you want a trial, as none is shown
Good to know
Good for
- Teams screening many candidates before live interviews
- Occasional hirers who want pay-as-you-go roles

Keep it
Nothing Willo does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It costs $708 a year.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- It plugs into other products, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle among them, and has an API.
- 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. Willo’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.
