Classet vs PhoneScreen.AI

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

Starting price

Classet

$190/wk per job 7 day free trial

AI phone interviewer for high-volume hourly hiring in healthcare, retail, light industrial and similar roles. Joy calls every applicant within seconds, runs a 5 to 10 minute screen with your questions, and writes the summary, recording and transcript back to your ATS. Flex costs $190/week per job with job board ads included and no ATS needed; the ATS-connected plan starts at $1,995/mo.

Where Classet fits

  • High-volume hourly hiring in healthcare, retail and light industrial
  • Teams losing applicants to slow callbacks
  • SMBs without an ATS that want job ads and screening in one
  • Enterprise teams that need SOC 2 and SSO

PhoneScreen.AI

$4/screen Free trial

Applicants call in or get called, answer your questions in any of 34 languages, and you get a scored scorecard with recording and transcript. Resume screening and reference checks are handled by separate agents. There are no seats or monthly fees: the first 10 screens are free, then $4 per completed screen, and missed calls are never charged.

Where PhoneScreen.AI fits

  • Hourly hiring in home care, warehouses, restaurants and retail
  • Temp staffing desks confirming basics before a recruiter call
  • Employers with seasonal or uneven applicant volume

Where they pull apart

Classet

Stands out: Speed to first conversation: candidates get a call or text within seconds of applying, including the many who apply after hours, and the vendor reports about half of interviews happen outside business hours. Flex also bundles job board distribution and ad spend, so a small team can run it with no ATS at all.

Watch out: The ATS-connected plan starts at $1,995/mo and is scoped on a sales call, so integration costs well above the $190 Flex entry price. Flex is billed per job, which adds up quickly across many open roles, and interviews beyond 50 per job a month cost $4 each.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies filling a few specialist roles at a time
  • Budget teams with many open roles on per-job pricing

PhoneScreen.AI

Stands out: The price model suits uneven volume: you pay $4 only when a screen completes, with no subscription, seats or minimum, so a small agency or a seasonal employer pays nothing in a quiet month. The agents never accept or reject anyone, which keeps the hiring decision with your team.

Watch out: Named ATS connectors are aimed at SMB hourly hiring (Indeed, CareerPlug, Hireology, ApplicantPro, Workstream); staffing ATSs such as Bullhorn need Zapier or the API. The reference agent is still in beta, and transcripts come back in English only.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a native Bullhorn or JobAdder connector
  • Professional roles that need long technical interviews
