Compare/Head to head

Firstview vs HeyMilo

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

Starting price

Firstview

Quote-based

Firstview puts CV Evaluation, a two-way AI Interview and an AI Co-Pilot for live interviews into one hiring platform, with a basic kanban ATS included. It does not publish pricing, and plans are quoted by sales. It fits teams that want AI first rounds and interview notes in one place and hire in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French or Dutch.

Where Firstview fits

  • Teams that want AI first interviews and live-interview notes in one tool
  • Smaller employers who can use the built-in kanban ATS instead of a separate one
  • Multilingual hiring across Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French and Dutch

HeyMilo

Quote-based

AI recruiter that screens every applicant by voice, video, SMS and forms in 20+ languages and writes scored reports back to 20+ ATSs. Core platform is quoted; the Red cheat-detection API starts free.

Where HeyMilo fits

  • 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
  • Teams worried about proxy interviews and AI-written answers

Where they pull apart

Firstview

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

HeyMilo

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Executive search, where the first call should be human
  • Buyers who need a published price for the core platform

What each one costs

Firstview

Quote-based

Firstview does not publish pricing. Its terms say features and limits depend on the subscription plan, with plan details given by the sales team, so pricing is quoted after a demo. Firstview also sells a separate managed headhunting service, which is quoted on its own. No free trial is advertised. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
