Compare/Head to head

HireID vs SimpleHire

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

Starting price

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

SimpleHire

$2/screen Free tier

SimpleHire runs a proctored AI voice interview and skill check on a candidate before you send them to the client, and returns a scored report plus a shareable certificate. It is priced per screen from $2, with 25 free Basic screens a month, but ATS integration is still coming soon. Best for staffing desks that want proof attached to submissions, not for teams shopping for an ATS.

Where SimpleHire fits

  • Staffing recruiters who submit verified profiles to clients instead of raw resumes
  • Desks filling junior, technical or high-value roles that need skill evidence
  • Agencies screening at volume that want a low per-screen price and a free monthly allowance
  • Teams that want an optional ID and face-match check without a separate vendor

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

SimpleHire

Stands out: Pricing is published and per screen ($2, $3 or $5) with 25 free Basic screens every month and no card, which is rare for proctored screening. Each report pairs a role-based voice interview that follows up on weak answers with skill evidence and integrity signals, and the candidate can keep the result as a verified profile.

Watch out: ATS integration is not live yet: Ceipal and JobDiva come first, then Bullhorn, so today the report is attached to submissions by hand. The ID and face-match check is optional and its price is not listed separately. Proctoring signals are flagged for a human to review rather than decided automatically, and the vendor positions the tool as pre-screening evidence, not a background check.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams shopping for an ATS with pipelines and job posts
  • Buyers who need live ATS writeback on day one
  • Teams that need an FCRA background check
