Closest alternatives

The short answer

Sherlock AI : Sherlock AI publishes from $100/mo for proxy, lip-sync, and deepfake signals if you want a priced interview-fraud detector. From $50 prepaid credits
Interview Guard : Interview Guard is another live interview-fraud product for copilots, overlays, and proxy candidates, also quote-led. From $100/mo
HireVue : HireVue is the enterprise structured video-interview suite, with integrity tools inside a full interviewing platform rather than a join-the-call agent. From Sales-quoted
VALIDIA : Validia is a candidate-fraud specialist if you want a different integrity vendor on the same shortlist. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past HireID

There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.

What we noted

The vendor does not publish a price
It does not replace HireVue-class structured interviewing or an ATS
Accuracy claims come from the vendor's own synthetic-identity benchmarks

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need a cheap AI screener without identity or deepfake checks
Buyers who require a public rate card and a credit-card signup

Worth keeping in mind: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.

What each one does differently

Sherlock AI

$50 prepaid credits Free trial

Why it comes up: Sherlock AI publishes from $100/mo for proxy, lip-sync, and deepfake signals if you want a priced interview-fraud detector.

Stands out: Plans split into Only Fraud Detection, Fraud plus AI Fluency, and a full suite that adds automated interview notes, all with unlimited seats under fair use.

Watch out: Cost per interview depends on which checks each interview uses, so $50 of credits covers anywhere from about 5 to 10 interviews. Enterprise volume pricing is quoted.

Best for

TA teams running remote video interviews that need proxy and deepfake signals
Orgs that permit some AI use and want an AI Fluency score beside fraud
Teams that want automated notes on the same Sherlock session

Interview Guard

$100/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: Interview Guard is another live interview-fraud product for copilots, overlays, and proxy candidates, also quote-led.

Stands out: It looks for 100-plus AI helpers including ChatGPT, Cluely, and InterviewCoder, plus overlays, remote desktop, VMs, VPN location spoofing, deepfakes, and proxy input. Alerts fire during the interview. Setup is pitched as three minutes with no IT project.

Watch out: This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Per-interview fees apply on top of the monthly plan.

Best for

TA teams seeing Cluely, InterviewCoder, and overlay tools on live screens
Employers that refuse to record interviews but still want fraud signals
Desks on Zoom, Teams, Meet, or Webex that can require a 30-second candidate install

HireVue

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: HireVue is the enterprise structured video-interview suite, with integrity tools inside a full interviewing platform rather than a join-the-call agent.

Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.

Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.

Best for

Enterprise talent teams standardising video interviews
Teams that need assessments before an onsite
High-volume employers that cannot run live first rounds

4.5 on Capterra from 50 reviews

VALIDIA

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Validia is a candidate-fraud specialist if you want a different integrity vendor on the same shortlist.

Stands out: Know Your People is agentless inside the conference tool. It marks facial, voice, and behavioral mismatches, VPN use, and timing anomalies, aimed at proxy interviews and deepfake presence.

Watch out: There is no public rate card. The marketing homepage currently gives little product detail, so buyers should use docs.validia.ai and a demo. This is identity authentication, not a full interviewer.

Best for

Remote hiring teams seeing proxy candidates and deepfakes on Zoom or Teams
Employers that will not add a bot or a candidate desktop install
Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday shops that want identity alerts on the record
