Starter includes only 10 interviews per month. Overflow is $10 per interview with a 100-interview minimum, so a busy week jumps from $100/mo to a much larger add-on.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Plans split into Only Fraud Detection, Fraud plus AI Fluency, and a full suite that adds automated interview notes, all with unlimited seats under fair use.

Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: Interview integrity for deepfake, proxy, and ID. Quoted. No public $100/mo Starter.
Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.
Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.

Sales-quoted 7 day free trial
Why it comes up: Real-time detection for AI copilots, overlays, and proxy candidates. Quoted, live-checked 2026.
Stands out: It looks for 100-plus AI helpers including ChatGPT, Cluely, and InterviewCoder, plus overlays, remote desktop, VMs, VPN location spoofing, deepfakes, and proxy input. Alerts fire during the interview. Setup is pitched as three minutes with no IT project.
Watch out: This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product that publishes $6 per session. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Professional plan dollars are not on a public table.

Enterprise
Why it comes up: Enterprise structured video interviews with integrity tools bundled into the interview product, not a standalone $100/mo overlay.
Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.
Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.
Best for
Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: Candidate-fraud checks in the same category. Sherlock is the live-interview overlay with a published Starter.
Stands out: Know Your People is agentless inside the conference tool. It marks facial, voice, and behavioral mismatches, VPN use, and timing anomalies, aimed at proxy interviews and deepfake presence.
Watch out: There is no public rate card. The marketing homepage currently gives little product detail, so buyers should use docs.validia.ai and a demo. This is identity authentication, not a full interviewer.
