AI Interview Agents vs Alex

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

AI Interview Agents

$99/mo Free tier

AI first-round interviewer for recruiters and small agencies, strongest on volume roles such as sales, customer support, retail and hospitality. It reads every resume against the role, invites only those above your bar to a 15 or 30 minute AI voice interview in 75 languages, checks when they can really start and where they are, and hands you a ranked list with the answer behind every score. It also turns your own screening calls into notes and a client submittal. Free covers 10 interviews a month; Pro is $99/mo for 200.

Where AI Interview Agents fits

  • Volume hiring for sales, support, retail and hospitality
  • Small staffing agencies that write client submittals
  • Multilingual candidate pools
  • Recruiters who want first rounds done without scheduling

Alex

Sales-quoted

Alex (formerly Apriora) is an AI interviewer for live voice, video, and text screens. The company is Alex at alex.com. Pricing is sales-quoted after a demo. There is no public rate card.

Where Alex fits

  • High-volume TA teams that cannot staff enough first-round interviewers
  • Companies that want one AI recruiter across phone, video, and text
  • Orgs already on one of the 33 supported ATS platforms
  • Global hiring that needs 30-language screens

Where they pull apart

AI Interview Agents

Stands out: The joining readiness check: the interviewer asks about start date, resignation and right to work, and an opt-in location check shows the city the candidate interviewed from and its distance from the job, so a CV that says available immediately in Austin can be tested against reality. Candidates can mix languages mid-answer, and a single hiring link or QR code on a flyer can start the interview within minutes of applying.

Watch out: Capacity is capped by credits that do not roll over (200 interviews a month on Pro, with no published price for more), and AI phone calls are a separate by-request setup. It sits next to your ATS rather than syncing with one, using imports from LinkedIn, Indeed or Naukri exports instead. The career page with built-in ATS is still early access, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams needing a native two-way ATS integration
  • Enterprises screening thousands of candidates a month

Alex

Stands out: Alex has run 1,000,000 candidate interviews, supports 30 languages, and lists 33 official ATS integrations. It handles outreach, screening, interviewing, verification, and scheduling so TA does not add headcount for first rounds.

Watch out: Every commercial path is a 30-minute demo. No self-serve SKU, no published per-interview rate, and no trial. This is built for high-volume screening, not a $99/mo SMB seat.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-interview or per-month price
  • Teams that only want a human notetaker, not an AI that runs the interview
