Hubert from Sales-quoted 6 day free trial

The short answer

HireVue : HireVue is the broader enterprise video-interview and assessment suite, not a pay-per-interview chat/voice screener. From Enterprise
Curious Thing : Curious Thing is another quoted voice AI interviewer for scalable screens, a close category peer. From Sales-quoted
EvoHire : EvoHire publishes from $165/mo for AI phone and video technical screens with cheat detection. From $165/mo

Why people look past Hubert

There is no dollar table. Volume starts at 5,000 interviews a year, which is not an SMB first buy. Unlimited users is in the custom plan, but you still buy interview volume.

What we noted

No public dollar amount, only volume bands from 5,000 interviews a year
Built for volume, not a 50-hire-a-year desk
Capterra sample is 16 reviews, just over the directory floor

Not the right fit for

Teams that hire a few dozen people a year and cannot use 5,000 interviews
Buyers who need a published per-interview dollar they can model in a spreadsheet tonight

Worth keeping in mind: HubertDetect marks AI-written answers. Recruiter Agent, chat and voice interviews, and explainable 0-100 scores land in the ATS. Delivery is SMS and web. The vendor claims GDPR and EU AI Act alignment.

What each one does differently

HireVue

Enterprise

Why it comes up: HireVue is the broader enterprise video-interview and assessment suite, not a pay-per-interview chat/voice screener.

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

Curious Thing

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Curious Thing is another quoted voice AI interviewer for scalable screens, a close category peer.

Stands out: Structured voice conversations at scale with a candidate-experience pitch, not a cheap SMS blaster.

Watch out: The vendor does not publish a pricing grid. Do not confuse it with the separate Lucy call-answering product sold at $24/mo.

Best for

TA teams that want consistent first-round voice screens
High-volume professional hiring
Companies that will take a quote and an API

EvoHire

$165/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: EvoHire publishes from $165/mo for AI phone and video technical screens with cheat detection.

Stands out: Cheat detection on phone and video technical screens is the wedge, not a generic one-way video recorder.

Watch out: The free plan is a cap, not a 14-day Pro trial. Paid at $165/mo still needs a live check on monthly interview volume and languages.

Best for

Engineering hiring teams that want AI phone and video screens before a CoderPad loop
TA orgs fighting interview cheating on remote technical screens
Startups that will try the free plan before $165/mo

Alex

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Alex (formerly Apriora) is a quoted live voice, video, and text AI interviewer rather than Hubert's volume chat screen.

Stands out: Alex has run 1,000,000 candidate interviews, supports 30 languages, and lists 33 official ATS integrations. It handles outreach, screening, interviewing, verification, and scheduling so TA does not add headcount for first rounds.

Watch out: Every commercial path is a 30-minute demo. No self-serve SKU, no published per-interview rate, and no trial. This is built for high-volume screening, not a $99/mo SMB seat.

Best for

High-volume TA teams that cannot staff enough first-round interviewers
Companies that want one AI recruiter across phone, video, and text
Orgs already on one of the 33 supported ATS platforms
