Where they pull apart

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

CoderPad

Stands out: AI Assist puts an LLM inside the pad on every plan, with prompts captured for playback.

Watch out: Starter covers only 5 interviews a month or 60 a year. ATS integrations, SSO and API access are Enterprise only; monthly overages cost $30 each.

Not the right fit for

  • High-volume screening on a small plan
  • Teams that need ATS sync on Starter
