The short answer

  • Tenzo AI : Voice AI screening across phone, SMS and WhatsApp, where Asendia keeps SMS and WhatsApp screening on its Enterprise plan. From Contact for pricing
  • ConverzAI : Staffing focused phone and SMS screening that also reactivates candidates already in your CRM, which Asendia does not pitch. From Sales-quoted
  • HeyMilo : Voice AI first round phone screens from a longer established vendor, for teams wary of a 2024 startup. From Quote-based

Why people look past Asendia AI

The $99 and $199 plans have no ATS integration and only 10 or 50 voice interviews, so real agency volume lands on Growth at $599/mo or higher. SMS and WhatsApp screening, resume screening and the scheduling agent are Enterprise only. It is a young company (YC, founded 2024), so check references on the ATS you use.

What we noted

  • ATS integrations start at $599/mo
  • SMS and WhatsApp screening are Enterprise only
  • Small interview allowances on the entry plans

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need ATS sync on a starter budget
  • Corporate TA teams wanting a video interview platform with employer branding
  • Buyers who need SMS or WhatsApp screening without an enterprise contract

Worth keeping in mind: Published self serve pricing is rare in AI voice screening, and Asendia lists every tier with the number of voice interviews included and the per interview overage ($3 to $4). It is built around staffing workflows, with healthcare, IT and light industrial as the verticals it names, rather than corporate TA.

What each one does differently

Tenzo AI

Contact for pricing API

Why it comes up: Voice AI screening across phone, SMS and WhatsApp, where Asendia keeps SMS and WhatsApp screening on its Enterprise plan.

Stands out: Morgan, a screening agent that hits every applicant by phone/SMS/WhatsApp and writes a scored shortlist back, with 57-plus ATS names including Bullhorn, Workday, iCIMS, SAP SuccessFactors, and Greenhouse.

Watch out: Quote-only enterprise motion. A two-recruiter shop will be over-served.

Best for

  • High-volume TA that wants every applicant screened
  • Healthcare, hourly, and always-on hiring
  • Workday, Bullhorn, iCIMS, or Greenhouse customers

ConverzAI

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Staffing focused phone and SMS screening that also reactivates candidates already in your CRM, which Asendia does not pitch.

Stands out: Voice and text screening that reactivates the CRM, with Bullhorn and Salesforce named: high-volume conversation, not a one-way video recorder.

Watch out: Quote-only. This is a screening and reactivation layer, not an ATS of record.

Best for

  • High-volume staffing and recruiting desks
  • Bullhorn or Salesforce shops
  • Teams that screen by phone and SMS

HeyMilo

Quote-based MCP API

Why it comes up: Voice AI first round phone screens from a longer established vendor, for teams wary of a 2024 startup.

Stands out: HeyMilo runs the first round across several channels in one pass and attaches trust signals to each candidate: identity checks, AI-answer flags and multi-person detection. Its Red API applies the same fraud checks to interviews it never ran, from Zoom or Teams recordings.

Watch out: The core platform has no published price; only the Red add-on does. Candidate Recommendations, the ATS rediscovery feature, has deep integrations only with Bullhorn, Avionté and Tracker, and some candidates will not want a machine running the first conversation.

Best for

  • High-volume desks screening hundreds of applicants per role
  • Staffing agencies on Bullhorn, Avionté, JobDiva or Tracker
  • BPOs and franchises that need one screen across sites and languages
