AsyncInterview vs Willo

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

Starting price

AsyncInterview

$70/user/mo Free tier

A low-cost one-way video interview tool: candidates answer recorded video, audio or text questions on their own time, and your team reviews, rates and shares the answers. Free for 60 responses a year, then $70 per user a month.

Where AsyncInterview fits

  • Small teams screening candidates across time zones
  • Recruiters on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable who want interviews tied to the ATS
  • Seasonal or campus drives run from a shareable interview link

Willo

$59/role/mo 14 day free trial

One-way video interviews for async screening. $59 per live role/month on the entry plan, with enterprise from $3,799/year.

Where Willo fits

  • Small and mid-sized teams running async screens
  • Teams on Greenhouse, Workable, Lever or Ashby
  • Hiring managers who review on their own time
  • Buyers who want per-role rather than per-seat pricing

Where they pull apart

AsyncInterview

Stands out: Candidates need no app, login or registration, and invites go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp one at a time, by CSV upload or through a public link. It plugs into Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, JazzHR, BambooHR, Teamtailor and Recruitee, and custom domains and white label are available.

Watch out: Response caps are per year, not per month: 1,200 on Standard and 2,400 on Professional, so a high-volume desk can hit the ceiling. The free plan keeps videos for six months and has no AI transcription. Pricing is per user, which adds up when several hiring managers need seats.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want AI scoring of answers, not just transcripts
  • High-volume hiring above 2,400 responses a year

Willo

Stands out: Priced per live role rather than per seat, with a long list of supported trackers.

Watch out: Priced in pounds, and there is a large gap between the entry plan and enterprise.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need live panel video
  • Teams running many roles at once on the entry plan
