The short answer

  • Harver : A volume hiring assessment and matching platform, for employers hiring mostly hourly and frontline roles at scale. From Sales-quoted
  • Criteria : A long established pre-employment test library with cognitive, personality and skills tests, for teams that want testing without AI resume screening. From Sales-quoted
  • TestGorilla : Skills tests sold on published self-serve plans, so smaller teams can start without a sales call. From $215/mo

Why people look past Cangrade

There is no public price or self-serve plan. Pricing is tailored after a demo, and the 30-day trial covers Jules AI Copilot and starts from a request form rather than an instant sign up.

What we noted

  • No public pricing; quoted after a demo
  • Free trial covers Jules AI Copilot only and starts by request

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a published price before a sales call
  • Recruiters who only want a resume parser without assessments
  • Teams looking for a free forever plan

Worth keeping in mind: Every score comes with a visual report showing why the candidate ranked where they did, tied to the job requirements you set. The same talent data carries past the hire into onboarding, retention forecasts and an internal talent marketplace, and bidirectional syncs cover Workday, UKG, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Lever, NEOGOV and SAP SuccessFactors.

What each one does differently

Harver

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: A volume hiring assessment and matching platform, for employers hiring mostly hourly and frontline roles at scale.

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

Criteria

Sales-quoted 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: A long established pre-employment test library with cognitive, personality and skills tests, for teams that want testing without AI resume screening.

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

TestGorilla

$215/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Skills tests sold on published self-serve plans, so smaller teams can start without a sales call.

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
