Capifiq vs HireID

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

Starting price

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

HireID

Sales-quoted

HireID is an interview-integrity layer that watches Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for deepfake, proxy, and ID fraud. The vendor claims 20-plus fraud signals and 98 percent accuracy on internal synthetic-identity tests, with no public rate card.

Where HireID fits

  • TA teams seeing proxy interviews and deepfakes on Zoom, Meet, or Teams
  • Employers that need ID-to-face matching before an offer, not after a background check
  • Staffing desks that must explain every fraud signal to a client or counsel
  • Mid-market and enterprise hiring teams already on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Gem, or SmartRecruiters

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

HireID

Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.

Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need a cheap AI screener without identity or deepfake checks
  • Buyers who require a public rate card and a credit-card signup
