Where they pull apart

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

Mokka

Stands out: Mokka covers inbound screening and outbound sourcing in one product, and screening and pre-interviews are free for candidates its own sourcing agent finds. Integrity checks compare the resume, LinkedIn profile and interview answers, and Mokka says suspicious answers go to a human rather than being auto-rejected. It publishes a trust center with SOC 2 Type II, an independent bias audit and coverage of NYC Local Law 144 and the Illinois AI Video Interview Act.

Watch out: Mokka says it is not built for high-volume hourly or shift hiring and does not replace your ATS. ATS integration starts on the Business plan, and API access, SSO and invoice billing are Enterprise only. Data is hosted in Ireland and the Netherlands, which some US buyers will want to review.

Not the right fit for

  • Hourly or shift hiring
  • Teams wanting an ATS replacement
  • Buyers who need API access below Enterprise
