Wonderlic measures cognitive ability, personality and motivation for hiring, and sells a separate product for coaching current staff. There are no prices and no skills or coding tests, and the pricing page returns an error. - **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.** Cognitive, personality and motivation tests with role-specific results. Coding and skills-specific tests aren't what its pages describe. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows tests to choose and results to read. That puts it at C. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no separate app on record. One kind of device, so C. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Wonderlic's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among hiring and applicant tracking tools - Wonderlic's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 6 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 23. - It stands best on value for money (C, above 12 of 101) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/hiring ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of Wonderlic you could make: reports and employee records. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 72 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. - You could make: Reports and employee records: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by. - You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those. 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, Reports, Employee records ## Alternatives - [Criteria Corp](https://toolgpa.com/tools/criteria-corp): Pre-employment assessments and video interviewing platform.
