Where they pull apart

Cangrade

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

TestGorilla

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need video as the product
  • Buyers who want one flat low price
