Where they pull apart

AssessFirst

Stands out: It scores fit with the specific manager and team, not only the role, and lets you train its models on your own top performers. SWIPE takes about five minutes on a phone, and VOICE grades spoken hard skills and CEFR language level in 40+ languages in under three minutes. User licences are unlimited on every subscription.

Watch out: Prices are published in euros only, and the final figure depends on a token volume agreed with sales. ATS integration is a paid add-on, not part of the base plan. Data is hosted in Europe. Outcome figures on the site, such as 50% lower turnover, are the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • US buyers who need published USD pricing before a demo
  • Teams that only need coding or job-specific skills tests

TestGorilla

Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.

Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need video as the product
  • Buyers who want one flat low price
