Where they pull apart

Brainner

Stands out: Ranking plus fraud (300-plus signals) with two-way ATS sync, not a generic ChatGPT-on-CVs wrapper.

Watch out: Analyses are metered: the paid tier covers a fixed quota and extra analyses are charged per analysis, with unlimited sold as an add-on. A busy month is the thing to model, not the headline.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that will not use AI on applications
  • Companies that need a flat, unmetered price
  • Agencies that need a full ATS

Canditech

Stands out: Job-simulation assessments with AI scoring, then ranking: tests first, not a resume-only screen.

Watch out: Prices are billed yearly and rise with your annual candidate volume. AI features are the product; if your legal team blocks AI scoring, keep walking.

Not the right fit for

  • Hourly high-volume hiring
  • Teams that want month-to-month billing
  • Employers that will not use AI scoring

Pros and cons

Brainner

  • Resume ranking plus fraud in one product
  • Named two-way ATS connectors
  • Usage-capped free start to try the scoring

Canditech

  • Job simulations rather than trivia quizzes
  • Start free, no card
  • Named ATS connectors including Greenhouse, Ashby, and Workday
  • Billed yearly, and price scales with candidate volume
  • AI scoring will be a legal review
  • Not an ATS of record
