Berke Assessment from Sales-quoted

  • TestGorilla : Broad skills tests if personality/aptitude is only one slice of screening. From $142/mo

Why people look past Berke Assessment

You are buying HighMatch. Budget a quote and an implementation into the ATS, not a $49/mo DISC login.

What we noted

  • Quote-only
  • Brand is now HighMatch
  • Not a coding assessment

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want Crystal-style browser personality lookups
  • Buyers who need a public per-assessment price
  • Engineering orgs that need coding tests

Worth keeping in mind: Job-fit assessments with a long ATS list on the HighMatch site (Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, JazzHR, Jobvite, Taleo, ADP, Paylocity).

What each one does differently

Crystal Knows

49 Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Personality intelligence with a public $49 Premium if you want DISC-style guidance, not job-fit testing.

Stands out: A $0 living profile plus a $49 Premium, with an MCP and Personality API, which is unusual in assessments.

Watch out: This is not a pre-hire job-fit exam like Berke. Sales and API SKUs start at $59 and $99. The free first-three-prospects credits are not a timed trial.

Best for

  • Sales and recruiting individuals who want DISC-style prep
  • Teams that want an MCP or Personality API
  • HubSpot or Salesforce users

TestGorilla

$142/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Broad skills tests if personality/aptitude is only one slice of screening.

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.

Best for

  • Teams that want evidence before a live interview
  • Organisations on the major applicant trackers
  • Buyers replacing an enterprise assessment module

Criteria

Sales-quoted 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Pre-hire testing suite often compared with HighMatch/Berke on aptitude and fit.

Stands out: Cognitive, personality, emotional intelligence, risk, and skills tests on one platform, with video interviews in the same suite.

Watch out: All three packages are sales-quoted. AI proctoring, the AI interview agent, and AI scoring are paid upgrades, and Develop is a separate add-on.

Best for

  • HR teams adding validated pre-hire tests
  • Companies that want cognitive plus personality tests
  • Teams that want tests and video interviews together

Harver

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: High-volume hiring assessments if the reqs are hourly and volume-shaped.

Stands out: Combines assessments, pymetrics game-based tests, video interviews and Checkster reference checks under one vendor.

Watch out: Pricing is sales-quoted and built around volume and modules, so expect a demo and scoping before any number.

Best for

  • Contact centers and BPOs hiring at volume
  • Retail and hourly hiring teams
  • Enterprises adding predictive assessments to an ATS
