Head to head

HireID vs Sherlock AI

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

HireID

Sales-quoted

HireID is an interview-integrity layer that watches Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for deepfake, proxy, and ID fraud. The vendor claims 20-plus fraud signals and 98 percent accuracy on internal synthetic-identity tests, with no public rate card.

Where HireID fits

  • TA teams seeing proxy interviews and deepfakes on Zoom, Meet, or Teams
  • Employers that need ID-to-face matching before an offer, not after a background check
  • Staffing desks that must explain every fraud signal to a client or counsel
  • Mid-market and enterprise hiring teams already on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Gem, or SmartRecruiters

Sherlock AI

$100/mo Free trial

Sherlock AI detects proxy, lip-sync, and deepfake signals in live interviews. Starter starts at $100/mo for 10 interviews, with extra interviews at $10 each (100 minimum). Annual billing saves 20%.

Where Sherlock AI fits

  • 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
  • Companies that prefer unlimited seats and pay per interview instead of per interviewer

Where they pull apart

HireID

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

Sherlock AI

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: Starter includes only 10 interviews per month. Overflow is $10 per interview with a 100-interview minimum, so a busy week jumps from $100/mo to a much larger add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need a published ATS-named integration list before buying
  • High-volume screens that will blow past 10 interviews/mo without Growth at $1,500/mo

Pros and cons

HireID

  • Live monitoring inside Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams
  • ATS connectors for Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Gem, and SmartRecruiters
  • Signals are presented for human review instead of automatic rejection
  • 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

Sherlock AI

  • Published Starter at $100/mo for 10 interviews with unlimited seats
  • Optional AI Fluency and automated notes on the same session
  • Growth drops overflow to $5 per interview (min 100) at $1,500/mo
  • Starter overflow is $10 per interview with a 100-interview minimum
  • ATS integrations are advertised without named systems on the pricing page
  • Not an interviewer. It sits on the live video you already run
