HeyMilo vs PhoneScreen.AI

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

Starting price

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

PhoneScreen.AI

$4/screen Free trial

Pay-per-screen AI phone interviewer for hourly hiring and staffing desks. Applicants call in or get called, answer your questions in any of 34 languages, and you get a scored scorecard with recording and transcript. Resume screening and reference checks are handled by separate agents. There are no seats or monthly fees: the first 10 screens are free, then $4 per completed screen, and missed calls are never charged.

Where PhoneScreen.AI fits

  • Hourly hiring in home care, warehouses, restaurants and retail
  • Temp staffing desks confirming basics before a recruiter call
  • Employers with seasonal or uneven applicant volume
  • Teams that want to try AI screening without a contract

Where they pull apart

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

PhoneScreen.AI

Stands out: The price model suits uneven volume: you pay $4 only when a screen completes, with no subscription, seats or minimum, so a small agency or a seasonal employer pays nothing in a quiet month. The agents never accept or reject anyone, which keeps the hiring decision with your team.

Watch out: Named ATS connectors are aimed at SMB hourly hiring (Indeed, CareerPlug, Hireology, ApplicantPro, Workstream); staffing ATSs such as Bullhorn need Zapier or the API. The reference agent is still in beta, and transcripts come back in English only.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a native Bullhorn or JobAdder connector
  • Professional roles that need long technical interviews
