PhoneScreen.AI vs Tenzo AI

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

Starting price

PhoneScreen.AI

$4/screen Free trial

Pay-per-screen AI phone interviewer for hourly hiring and staffing desks. Applicants call in or get called, answer your questions in any of 34 languages, and you get a scored scorecard with recording and transcript. Resume screening and reference checks are handled by separate agents. There are no seats or monthly fees: the first 10 screens are free, then $4 per completed screen, and missed calls are never charged.

Where PhoneScreen.AI fits

  • Hourly hiring in home care, warehouses, restaurants and retail
  • Temp staffing desks confirming basics before a recruiter call
  • Employers with seasonal or uneven applicant volume
  • Teams that want to try AI screening without a contract

Where they pull apart

PhoneScreen.AI

Stands out: The price model suits uneven volume: you pay $4 only when a screen completes, with no subscription, seats or minimum, so a small agency or a seasonal employer pays nothing in a quiet month. The agents never accept or reject anyone, which keeps the hiring decision with your team.

Watch out: Named ATS connectors are aimed at SMB hourly hiring (Indeed, CareerPlug, Hireology, ApplicantPro, Workstream); staffing ATSs such as Bullhorn need Zapier or the API. The reference agent is still in beta, and transcripts come back in English only.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies needing a native Bullhorn or JobAdder connector
  • Professional roles that need long technical interviews

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
