Why people look past Firstview

There is no public price list and no advertised free trial, so budgeting needs a sales call. Interviews run in 6 languages, which leaves out languages such as Portuguese or Mandarin. The site says ATS integrations exist but names only WhatsApp and LinkedIn, so check your ATS before buying.

What we noted

No published pricing
6 interview languages
ATS connectors not named on the site

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need a published price before a demo
Teams that need a named, ready-made connector for a specific ATS
Hiring in languages outside the 6 supported

Worth keeping in mind: The AI Interview is a two-way conversation: it answers candidate questions about the role and asks real-time follow-ups when an answer is vague, rather than playing recorded prompts. CV scores show exactly where in the CV each point was found and how it was scored. Firstview says it uses no facial analysis or gesture recognition, only what the candidate says.

What each one does differently

Interviewer.AI

$199/mo 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Interviewer.AI focuses on one-way video interviews with AI scoring, while Firstview runs live two-way AI conversations and adds a notetaker for your own interviews.

Stands out: A published monthly price for AI video interviewing, and unused credits roll over month to month.

Watch out: AI avatar interviews start on Professional at $399/mo. ATS integrations are Enterprise only and quoted. No refunds after you pay.

Best for

Teams starting AI video screening on a budget
Buyers who want a 14-day trial first
Teams that need interview fraud checks

HeyMilo

Quote-based MCP API

Why it comes up: HeyMilo screens across voice, video, SMS and forms with cheat detection, whereas Firstview pairs its AI interview with CV scoring and a built-in kanban ATS.

Stands out: HeyMilo runs the first round across several channels in one pass and attaches trust signals to each candidate: identity checks, AI-answer flags and multi-person detection. Its Red API applies the same fraud checks to interviews it never ran, from Zoom or Teams recordings.

Watch out: The core platform has no published price; only the Red add-on does. Candidate Recommendations, the ATS rediscovery feature, has deep integrations only with Bullhorn, Avionté and Tracker, and some candidates will not want a machine running the first conversation.

Best for

High-volume desks screening hundreds of applicants per role
Staffing agencies on Bullhorn, Avionté, JobDiva or Tracker
BPOs and franchises that need one screen across sites and languages

Metaview

$60/user/mo Free tier MCP

Why it comes up: Metaview is a dedicated AI notetaker for interviews your team runs; choose it if you only need Firstview's Co-Pilot side and not AI-led first rounds.

Stands out: Notes land on the candidate record rather than in someone's document.

Watch out: Each agent is priced separately, so adding Sourcing ($100 or $300 per user) or Application Review ($150 a month) to the $60 Notetaker adds up fast.

Best for

Recruiters who dislike writing up interviews
Teams that need notes on the ATS record
Buyers who want a free start
