Capifiq vs Endorsed

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

Capifiq

Sales-quoted

Capifiq replaces Zoom or Teams for interviews only. The candidate joins through a desktop client that checks the machine for hidden AI assistants, remote control, virtual machines and virtual cameras, and every finding lands in a timestamped, sealed report a person reviews. Pricing is per interview credit (credits never expire, seats are unlimited) and is quoted only after a demo. Best for technical hiring teams and staffing desks seeing AI-coached or proxy candidates in remote interviews.

Where Capifiq fits

  • Technical hiring teams running remote coding and system design rounds
  • Staffing agencies that want evidence a submitted candidate interviewed without outside help
  • Employers who want integrity checks without an AI scoring or rejecting candidates

Endorsed

$249/user/mo Free trial

Fraud screen for applicant pools: Endorsed checks every candidate against up to 700+ signals (resume, social, IP and device, phone, email, identity) and flags likely fakes inside your ATS. The free trial needs no card; Growth is $249 per user a month billed annually with a three seat minimum, so the real floor is about $9,000 a year. Best for teams already seeing fake or proxy applicants on remote roles.

Where Endorsed fits

  • TA teams hiring remote engineering or IT roles that attract fake applicants
  • Recruiters who want fraud flags inside the ATS before scheduling interviews
  • Teams that also want AI ranking of real applicants against written criteria

Where they pull apart

Capifiq

Stands out: It is the interview room itself, not an add-on watching someone else's call, so video, a shared code pad, a whiteboard, captions and the integrity timeline all come out of one session. The vendor says it detects assistance by behaviour rather than a list of known cheat apps, so renamed or private builds are covered. It also says plainly that phones, smart glasses and earpieces leave no trace on the computer, and answers them with an included Question Engine. It never scores, ranks or rejects candidates.

Watch out: Your interviews have to move onto Capifiq, and candidates must install its desktop client, which records the session, captures hotkey activity and lets the interviewer screenshot any of the candidate's displays, shared or not. There is no public price and no self-serve trial: a scoped pilot comes only after a demo. SOC 2 Type II is listed as in progress, and the detection claims are the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want to keep interviewing on Zoom, Teams or Meet
  • Buyers who need a published price or a self-serve start
  • Teams looking for an AI interviewer or automated candidate scoring

Endorsed

Stands out: It catches fraud at the application stage, before anyone books an interview, by combining network signals (IP, device, VPN, phone and email) with resume and social checks, where most fraud tools in this category watch the live video interview. The pricing page publishes signal counts, accuracy claims and exactly what each tier includes.

Watch out: Endorsed began as an AI applicant review and sourcing tool and now leads with fraud detection, with applicant review sold as an add-on, so check the current product matches what you need. The three seat annual minimum puts Growth at roughly $9,000 a year before add-ons, and volume is capped at 5 jobs per user. Accuracy figures are the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo recruiters, given the three seat annual minimum
  • Teams whose fraud problem is proxies or deepfakes during live video interviews
  • High volume hourly hiring where 5 jobs per user is too few
