Compare/Head to head

Cernor vs Veton.ai

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

Starting price

Cernor

$199/role Free trial

AI applicant evaluation for teams with more applications than time to read them: Cernor scores every record against a standard you approve, checks whether the evidence backs each claim and asks follow ups where it does not. At $199 per role for up to 300 candidates with no subscription, it suits occasional hiring, but it is a young product with no published customers and ATS integration only on Enterprise.

Where Cernor fits

  • Teams hiring a few roles a year who do not want a subscription
  • Roles that draw many polished, keyword matched applications
  • Hiring panels that need a written record of why each candidate advanced

Veton.ai

$299/mo

AI screening interviewer with published plans, unlimited jobs and a trust score on every candidate. A good fit for staffing agencies and volume hiring, but monthly Basic has no ATS integration, so most teams will want Standard at $599/mo or a yearly plan.

Where Veton.ai fits

  • Staffing agencies screening hundreds of candidates a week
  • High volume hourly and professional hiring alike
  • Teams hiring in more than one language

Where they pull apart

Cernor

Stands out: Cernor keeps fit, credibility and proof apart for every requirement instead of blending them into one keyword score. Eleven trust checks flag JD mirroring, timeline conflicts and ownership gaps, and follow up questions are built from each candidate's own gaps, with each answer shaping the next. Pricing is per role with no subscription or seat fees, which is rare in AI screening.

Watch out: Cernor holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification and says so on its security page. ATS integration is listed only under Enterprise, and the site names no customers, reviews or team. Pricing does not say how long a role stays live, so check that before buying for a slow search. It evaluates and ranks only; it does not source, schedule or run interviews.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 today
  • Teams wanting sourcing, scheduling or AI interviews in the same tool
  • High volume teams that need ATS sync without an Enterprise deal

Veton.ai

Stands out: Every plan includes unlimited job positions and applicants, so cost scales only with interviews. The trust score adds a fraud check that many screening tools charge extra for.

Watch out: Monthly Basic lacks ATS integration, which only comes with Standard or a yearly plan. Headline results such as 92% time saved are the vendor's own figures, and there are few independent reviews.

Not the right fit for

  • Very small teams doing a few interviews a month
  • Teams that need phone call screening
  • Buyers wanting a long enterprise track record
