eSkill vs Wonderlic

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

Starting price

eSkill

Sales-quoted

eSkill is a pre-hire skills testing platform covering hourly through professional roles. Growth, Scale, and Custom packages all say Talk to sales. There is no public dollar table on eskill.com/subscription-options.

Where eSkill fits

  • HR teams testing office, industrial, call-center, healthcare, and IT skills in one library
  • Staffing firms that need customizable subject mixes rather than a single cognitive test
  • Hiring managers who want a scored skills snapshot before the interview
  • US employers that want a US-based assessment vendor on a quoted subscription

Wonderlic

Sales-quoted

Wonderlic Select is the classic Wonderlic, now a three-in-one pre-hire assessment of cognitive ability, personality, and motivation. Pricing is quote-led. Plans include structured interview guides and optional candidate feedback reports.

Where Wonderlic fits

  • Employers that want cognitive, personality, and motivation in one Select report
  • HR teams that need job-specific interview guides after the assessment
  • Mid-market companies in the 100 to 2,500 employee band Wonderlic cites
  • US hiring teams that still ask for the Wonderlic name in a modern Select package

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

Wonderlic

Stands out: Unlimited candidate reports are included once you are on a plan, with no per-assessment overage called out in the FAQ. The majority of customers cited on the site are companies with 100 to 2,500 employees.

Watch out: There is no public per-test or seat table. Capterra's $6,000/user/year starting price is not a vendor rate. Support channels (chat vs phone vs CSM) vary by plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a self-serve skills-test library they can buy tonight
  • Buyers who only want coding simulations rather than cognitive fit

  • Capterra 4.5 from 166 reviews on Wonderlic Select
  • The vendor does not publish a price
