The two products are priced separately, so screening plus interviews means paying for both, and interviews with live follow-up questions use three times the credits. API access and proctoring sit on the Business interview tier. Integrations named are meeting and messaging tools (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp), not other ATSs, and the Capterra listing has too few reviews to show.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Candidate messaging runs through your own WhatsApp, SMS and email with multi-step sequences, which suits markets where candidates live on WhatsApp. Agencies get AI resume formatting and branding, shareable candidate reports and a hiring manager portal, and the AI video interviews are sold on their own from $99 a month if you already have an ATS.

$199/mo 14 day free trial API
Why it comes up: Interviewer.AI also scores AI video interviews and has an API, but it is an interview tool only, from $199/mo with a 14-day trial.
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.
Best for
Quote-based MCP API
Why it comes up: HeyMilo screens by voice, video, SMS and form with cheat detection and writes back to your ATS, and runs its own MCP server, priced by quote.
Stands out: HeyMilo runs the first round across several channels in one pass and attaches trust signals to each candidate: identity checks, AI-answer flags and multi-person detection. Its Red API applies the same fraud checks to interviews it never ran, from Zoom or Teams recordings.
Watch out: The core platform has no published price; only the Red add-on does. Candidate Recommendations, the ATS rediscovery feature, has deep integrations only with Bullhorn, Avionté and Tracker, and some candidates will not want a machine running the first conversation.
Best for
Free ATS Free tier 14 day free trial
Why it comes up: AltHire AI pairs AI phone, video and coding interviews with a free built-in ATS aimed at staffing agencies, with interviews priced by quote.
Stands out: It covers the whole screening funnel in one product, from interest check to proctored coding round, and throws in a free ATS for teams that have none. Domain specific assessments for healthcare, legal and education go beyond the usual tech and sales question banks.
Watch out: No published price for the AI interviews, so the free ATS is the only cost you can see. Many of the headline numbers (500+ companies, 70% faster hiring) come from the vendor's own marketing, and it has very few independent reviews. Its FAQ also pitches interview practice to candidates, so confirm you are buying the recruiter product.
