Endorsed vs HireID

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

Starting price

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

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

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

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

  • 5 jobs per user cap on Growth

HireID

  • Live monitoring inside Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams

  • Signals are presented for human review instead of automatic rejection
  • The vendor does not publish a price
  • It does not replace HireVue-class structured interviewing or an ATS
