Where they pull apart

Criteria

Stands out: Cognitive, personality, emotional intelligence, risk, and skills tests on one platform, with video interviews in the same suite.

Watch out: All three packages are sales-quoted. AI proctoring, the AI interview agent, and AI scoring are paid upgrades, and Develop is a separate add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • Engineering teams that only need a live coding pad
  • Buyers who need a published price

PRODICTA

Stands out: Scenarios are generated fresh for each role and each candidate, so there is no fixed question bank to prepare for or share. The Reactive Video add-on changes the situation while the candidate is mid-answer on camera.

Watch out: It is UK focused, with GBP pricing plus VAT, UK compliance framing and UK customers and awards, so US fit is unproven. ATS and CRM integrations are only on the custom plan, and no integrations are named.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams wanting USD billing and US references
  • Teams needing ATS integration without a custom contract

PRODICTA

£119/mo

Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT; no USD price is published. Starter is £119/month of usage with up to 2 users. Professional is £359/month of usage with up to 5 users, candidate comparison, benchmarking and outcomes tracking. Custom is quoted and adds more users, agency features and placement risk insights, custom assessment libraries, ATS and CRM integrations and account management. Each assessment depth uses a different amount of the monthly allowance, which resets monthly and does not roll over; if you run short you pay the difference by card. Extra users are £35/user/month. Add-ons are Reactive Video at £15 per candidate and Immersive Workspace at £25 per role. Pay-as-you-go per assessment is also offered. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
