ScreeningHive vs Willo

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

Starting price

ScreeningHive

$15/mo Free tier

One of the cheapest one-way video interview tools with published prices: a free plan for 1 user and 5 interviews, then $15/mo billed yearly for 5 users and 50 interviews. It covers the basics well (bulk invites, reminders, practice runs, team ratings and client share links) but has no AI scoring or transcripts, and every plan caps the number of interviews. Best for small teams and agencies screening dozens of candidates a month, not thousands.

Where ScreeningHive fits

  • Small businesses replacing phone screens with recorded answers
  • Recruitment agencies sharing first round videos with clients
  • Campus and graduate hiring where candidates record on their phones
  • Teams hiring across time zones on a tight budget

Willo

$59/role/mo 14 day free trial

One-way video interviews for async screening. $59 per live role/month on the entry plan, with enterprise from $3,799/year.

Where Willo fits

  • Small and mid-sized teams running async screens
  • Teams on Greenhouse, Workable, Lever or Ashby
  • Hiring managers who review on their own time
  • Buyers who want per-role rather than per-seat pricing

Where they pull apart

ScreeningHive

Stands out: Pricing is low and fully published, from a free plan to $79/mo billed yearly for unlimited users, where most one-way video tools start at $59 to $250 a month. Recruiters get fine control over each question (required or optional, how many retakes), candidates get a practice run before recording, and recordings can go to a client or hiring manager by secure link with no login.

Watch out: Plans are capped by interview count (5, 50, 150 or 500), so high volume or seasonal hiring can outgrow even Enterprise. There is no AI scoring, transcription or skills testing, only human review. ATS connection is through the open API rather than named ready made integrations. No refunds once a plan starts, downgrades wait for the term to end, and free plan data older than six months is archived. The site lists custom branding on every plan while its FAQ says the logo is a Team and Enterprise feature, so check before buying Starter.

Not the right fit for

  • High volume hiring above 500 interviews a month
  • Teams that want AI scoring, transcripts or skills tests
  • Buyers who need ready made connectors to a named ATS

Willo

Stands out: Priced per live role rather than per seat, with a long list of supported trackers.

Watch out: Priced in pounds, and there is a large gap between the entry plan and enterprise.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need live panel video
  • Teams running many roles at once on the entry plan
