Compare/Head to head

Bryq vs Canditech

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

Starting price

Bryq

Sales-quoted

Assessment platform that scores cognitive ability, personality and 140+ skills in one candidate profile, plus a simulation-based AI fluency test, connected to ATSs such as Greenhouse, Lever and Workable. Bryq does not publish prices, so expect a sales conversation for both the Pro and Enterprise plans. Best for HR teams hiring at volume who want role fit scored before interviews, not teams that only need a single coding test.

Where Bryq fits

  • HR teams hiring at volume for sales, customer support, retail or BPO roles
  • Teams that want cognitive, personality and skills results in one profile
  • Employers testing candidates' practical AI skills
  • Recruiters who want assessment results inside Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot

Canditech

Sales-quoted Free trial

Skills assessments plus AI screening for technical and professional roles. Pricing is sales-quoted; start-free trial with no card.

Where Canditech fits

  • Technical and professional hiring teams
  • TA that wants simulations rather than trivia tests
  • Companies on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workable
  • Buyers willing to start free without a card

Where they pull apart

Bryq

Stands out: Few assessment tools measure how candidates work with AI; Bryq's AI Fluency test does it through simulated tasks that are not tied to one tool. It also folds cognitive, personality and skills results into one profile scored against the role rather than separate reports, and its hosted MCP server lets recruiters ask Claude or ChatGPT for the top five candidates for a role, read-only and under their own access rights.

Watch out: No price is published on Bryq's pricing page, so budgeting means a sales call. Interview guides, expanded results and the dedicated I/O psychologist are Enterprise only, and culture fit, SSO and strategic reports are paid add-ons on every plan. Self-serve ATS setup covers a named list of 12 systems; anything else needs the Enterprise plan's custom integration add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a published price before talking to sales
  • Engineering teams that only need deep coding assessments
  • Teams on an ATS outside Bryq's self-serve list without an Enterprise budget

Canditech

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

Watch out: No public seat price. 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 need a public monthly price
  • Employers that will not use AI scoring

What each one costs

Bryq

Sales-quoted

Quote-based. Bryq's pricing page compares a Pro and an Enterprise plan but does not publish prices. Both include unlimited invitations, skills, cognitive and personality assessments and the AI job builder; Enterprise adds expanded results, interview guides, guided and custom integrations, a dedicated customer success manager and I/O psychologist. SSO, culture fit, custom competencies and strategic reports are add-ons on both plans. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
