Equitas vs HireVue

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

Starting price

Equitas

£150/mo

Equitas is structured interview intelligence with a live autocue, transcription it claims at 99.9 percent accuracy, and human-led scoring. Pricing starts at £150 per month and scales with company size and volume. In January 2026 Equitas acquired Screenloop, which continues under its own brand.

Where Equitas fits

  • TA teams that want interviewers on rails without replacing the human scorer
  • Employers documenting structured, fair interviews for audit or DEI goals
  • Desks that already have an ATS and need an interview overlay, not a new ATS
  • Companies comparing Equitas after the Screenloop acquisition

HireVue

Sales-quoted

Enterprise structured video interviews with assessments wired into the hiring stages. Quote-based.

Where HireVue fits

  • Enterprise talent teams standardising video interviews
  • Teams that need assessments before an onsite
  • High-volume employers that cannot run live first rounds
  • Buyers comparing validated assessment vendors

Where they pull apart

Equitas

Stands out: A real-time autocue walks interviewers through the same questions. Scoring stays human, with positive and negative indicators, auto-generated candidate feedback, and a fairness posture the vendor ties to inclusive-by-default interviews.

Watch out: The only published figure is a £150 per month starting price; the final price depends on company size and projected volumes, so expect a quote. Screenloop remains a separate product after the acquisition.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who need a priced notetaker they can buy on a card today
  • Teams that want a fully autonomous AI interviewer with no human scorer

HireVue

Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.

Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.

Not the right fit for

  • Small businesses that want a cheap async video tool
  • Desks that only need interview notes

Pros and cons

Equitas

  • Live autocue for consistent questions across interviewers
  • Human-led scoring with structured indicators, not a silent auto-fail
  • Fairness and inclusive-interview framing baked into the pitch
  • Only a GBP starting price is published; final pricing is quoted
  • Screenloop customers should not assume the products have merged
  • No named ATS list on the homepage, only a generic ATS bridge

HireVue

  • Video and assessments in one suite
  • Built for defensible high-volume screening
  • Connects to the major enterprise trackers
  • No published price
  • No API or MCP
  • Too heavy for small-team async video
