Alex vs SelectPrism

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

Starting price

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

SelectPrism

Quote-based

SelectPrism is Prismforce's AI hiring platform that matches resumes to roles and runs proctored voice, video and coding first-round interviews on its own. It does not publish a price, so you need a demo and a quote. It fits enterprises, IT services firms and staffing agencies that run large volumes of technical and functional first rounds.

Where SelectPrism fits

  • Enterprise technical hiring at volume
  • IT services and global capability centers
  • Staffing and RPO firms

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

SelectPrism

Stands out: One AI interview can combine a coding test with functional scenario questions, which the vendor says can replace two separate rounds. More than 25 integrity checks look for AI-tool use, off-screen reading, impersonation and code plagiarism, and results flow to ATSs such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Lever and Bullhorn.

Watch out: There is no public pricing, and several features, including talent rediscovery, scheduling and the interviewer copilot, are listed as beta or coming soon. It is built for enterprise and staffing volume, so small teams hiring a few roles may find it more than they need. The Capterra listing has no reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams wanting published prices
  • Buyers needing scheduling today
  • Teams not using an ATS
