Where they pull apart

EvoHire

Stands out: Cheat detection on phone and video technical screens is the wedge, not a generic one-way video recorder.

Watch out: The free plan is a cap, not a 14-day Pro trial. Paid at $165/mo still needs a live check on monthly interview volume and languages.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need a $59/role async Willo link
  • Enterprises standardized on HireVue with no appetite for a second AI interviewer

Lightscreen

Stands out: Screening, scheduling, and voice AI interviews sit in one pipeline, so you are not stitching an AI interviewer to a separate scheduler.

Watch out: lightscreen.ai routes buyers to a demo. There is no $99/mo self-serve interviewer. ATS writeback and volume bands land in the quote.

Not the right fit for

  • Hiring managers who want a $59/role one-way video link today
  • Buyers who need a published per-interview rate

Pros and cons

EvoHire

  • Free plan with a published paid floor at $165/mo
  • Cheat detection on phone and video technical screens
  • Built for engineering screens, not generic HR video
  • Paid floor is above FetchTalent's $99/mo listing
  • Free plan caps will not cover a hiring sprint

Lightscreen

  • Screening, scheduling, and voice AI interviews in one pipeline
  • Voice agent can move a candidate to a booked next step
  • Designed as a layer on the ATS, not a rip-and-replace
  • Sales-quoted, no public interview pack
  • Implementation depends on ATS and calendar access
  • Overlap with EvoHire, Ribbon, and HireVue
