Where they pull apart
eSkill
Stands out: A large subject library (the vendor cites 600-plus subjects and heavy customization) plus a dedicated assessment expert on paid packages. Video-response questions exist as an add-on on some older plan pages.
Watch out: Ignore Capterra's $400/mo starting price. It is not the vendor rate card. An older account_purchase page that mentioned a 100-assessment Small Business pack is not the current subscription-options page.
Not the right fit for
Teams that want a published per-test or $99/mo self-serve plan
Buyers who only need a three-in-one cognitive/personality/motivation screen
TestGorilla
Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.
Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.
Not the right fit for
Desks that need video as the product
Buyers who want one flat low price
