Asendia AI vs Tenzo AI

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

Tenzo AI

Contact for pricing

Voice AI screens over phone, SMS, and WhatsApp on top of your ATS. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where Tenzo AI fits

  • High-volume TA that wants every applicant screened
  • Healthcare, hourly, and always-on hiring
  • Workday, Bullhorn, iCIMS, or Greenhouse customers
  • Teams that will use WhatsApp and SMS, not only email

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

Tenzo AI

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.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a public seat price
  • Executive search
  • Teams that refuse AI voice screens

  • Scores every applicant, not a sample
  • Quote-only
  • No public per-seat price
  • Overkill for low-volume professional hiring
