Flowmingo vs TestGorilla

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

Starting price

Flowmingo

$42/mo Free tier

A recruiting platform whose screening is free with no cap: an AI interviewer each applicant takes in their own time, CV scoring, proctored tests, chat screening and a built-in ATS. Paid plans from $42/mo billed annually ($49 monthly) only add video retention, branding and downloads.

  • Small teams that need AI interviews and an ATS with no budget
  • Hourly and frontline roles screened by chat link or QR code
  • Teams that want Claude or ChatGPT working the pipeline through MCP

TestGorilla

$215/mo Free tier

Skills assessments before the interview. Free plan, then Core at $215/mo and Plus from $520/mo.

Where TestGorilla fits

  • Teams that want evidence before a live interview
  • Organisations on the major applicant trackers
  • Buyers replacing an enterprise assessment module
  • Small teams that can start on the free plan

Where they pull apart

Flowmingo

Stands out: Nothing in screening is metered. AI interviews, CV scoring, tests and chat screening are unlimited on the $0 plan with unlimited seats, where Hyring's free plan stops at 50 credits a month. Every CV score comes with written evidence per criterion, and an official MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT read the pipeline.

Watch out: The free model is paid for by candidates: free sessions carry Flowmingo branding and offer applicants optional paid extras such as practice runs, feedback reports and question retakes. Removing that costs $0.39 to $0.49 per session. Free keeps only the latest 300 videos for 30 days, and the interview is built for a laptop with camera.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers who do not want candidates offered paid extras under their brand
  • Teams needing HRIS or ATS sync without building on webhooks or the API

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
