Where they pull apart

Interviewer.AI

Stands out: A published monthly price for AI video interviewing, and unused credits roll over month to month.

Watch out: AI avatar interviews start on Professional at $399/mo. ATS integrations are Enterprise only and quoted. No refunds after you pay.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need ATS sync on the entry plan
  • Live coding interviews

Spark Hire

Stands out: Unlimited video interviews at a public $249/month annual start, then a full ATS if you want sourcing and workflows in the same vendor.

Watch out: The ATS (Recruit Pro) starts at $335/month billed annually, not $249. AI resume review and notetaker hours are metered by ATS plan. No free trial is advertised.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises standardised on HireVue
  • Buyers who thought $249 included the ATS
  • Teams that cannot ask candidates to record video
