Asendia AI vs HeyMilo

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

Starting price

Asendia AI

$99/mo 7 day free trial

AI voice recruiter aimed at staffing agencies: Sarah phone screens every applicant around the clock, scores them and pushes the shortlist into your ATS. Self serve plans start at $99/mo with 10 voice assessments and a 7 day free trial, but the ATS integrations and full sourcing agent sit on the $599/mo Growth plan, so agencies wanting write back should budget for that tier.

Where Asendia AI fits

  • Staffing agencies screening high applicant volumes in healthcare, IT and light industrial
  • Recruiting desks that want phone screens done overnight and on weekends
  • Small agencies that want to trial AI voice screening on a published price

HeyMilo

Quote-based

AI recruiter that screens every applicant by voice, video, SMS and forms in 20+ languages and writes scored reports back to 20+ ATSs. Core platform is quoted; the Red cheat-detection API starts free.

Where HeyMilo fits

  • 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
  • Teams worried about proxy interviews and AI-written answers

Where they pull apart

Asendia AI

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

HeyMilo

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Executive search, where the first call should be human
  • Buyers who need a published price for the core platform
