IntervueBox vs Tenzo AI

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

Starting price

IntervueBox

$0.14/credit Free tier

IntervueBox is a credit-based AI hiring platform where seven agents source, screen, call, interview and assess candidates. A credit costs $0.14 outside India, a 30-minute AI interview uses 38 credits, and a free plan includes 300 credits. It suits teams and agencies with uneven hiring volume who want to pay for interviews run rather than seats.

Where IntervueBox fits

  • Teams with seasonal or uneven hiring who prefer pay-per-use credits
  • Recruitment agencies needing client sub-accounts and shortlist links
  • Employers wanting AI video interviews and phone screens in one tool

Tenzo AI

Voice AI screens over phone, SMS, and WhatsApp on top of your ATS. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where Tenzo AI fits

  • High-volume TA that wants every applicant screened
  • Healthcare, hourly, and always-on hiring
  • Workday, Bullhorn, iCIMS, or Greenhouse customers
  • Teams that will use WhatsApp and SMS, not only email

Where they pull apart

IntervueBox

Stands out: Credits are charged only when a candidate starts a session, unanswered calls are free, and subscription credits never expire while the plan is active. The Pro Plus plan adds client sub-accounts, client-facing shortlist links and per-client usage reports for recruitment firms. One wallet covers AI video interviews, a 24/7 phone screening agent, a WhatsApp agent and coding or written assessments.

Watch out: Plan prices vary by billing region, and the only rate stated for buyers outside India is $0.14 per credit, so confirm the US plan price at signup. Interviews are charged by booked length, so a 30-minute slot costs the full rate even if the candidate finishes early. WhatsApp, ATS sync, the API and proctoring start on the Pro plan, and purchased credits are not refundable.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a flat per-seat subscription
  • Teams needing ATS sync or API access on the entry paid plan
  • Organizations that require refundable prepaid spend

Tenzo AI

Stands out: Morgan, a screening agent that hits every applicant by phone/SMS/WhatsApp and writes a scored shortlist back, with 57-plus ATS names including Bullhorn, Workday, iCIMS, SAP SuccessFactors, and Greenhouse.

Watch out: Quote-only enterprise motion. A two-recruiter shop will be over-served.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a public seat price
  • Executive search
  • Teams that refuse AI voice screens

Pros and cons

IntervueBox

  • Free plan with 300 credits
  • Phone, WhatsApp and video screening in one tool
  • Plan prices vary by billing region
  • ATS sync and API start on Pro
  • Credits are non-refundable

Tenzo AI

  • Phone plus SMS plus WhatsApp, not video-only
  • Long ATS list including Bullhorn, Workday, and Greenhouse
  • Scores every applicant, not a sample
  • Quote-only
  • No public per-seat price
  • Overkill for low-volume professional hiring

What each one costs

IntervueBox

$0.14/credit

IntervueBox is billed by credits, not seats. Outside India a credit costs $0.14, the same in a plan, a top-up or a credit pack. A 15-minute AI video interview uses 20 credits, a 30-minute interview 38 credits, a 30-minute assessment 22 credits and a connected calling-agent minute 1 credit. Credits are only spent when the candidate starts a session.

The Freemium plan is free forever with 300 one-time credits, 100 resumes parsed a month and 1 user. Paid monthly plans are Standard (1,200 credits, 2 users), Pro (3,500 credits, 5 users) and Pro Plus (9,000 credits, 10 users); the plan price depends on billing region. Subscription credits never expire while the plan is active. Annual billing gives 2 months free, extra seats are $10/mo, and Enterprise is custom. Teams that hire rarely can buy a credit pack of at least 500 credits, valid for 12 months. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
