Where they pull apart

Skillvee

Stands out: The live voice calls with AI stakeholders show how a candidate clarifies requirements and makes decisions, which a resume or a take-home written with AI cannot. You only pay for candidates who finish, the scenario is ready minutes after pasting a JD, and it covers sales, customer success, product and data roles as well as engineers.

Watch out: Plans are annual contracts; monthly billing costs about 20% more and does not roll over. Custom scenarios start on the $299 Starter plan and API access and custom branding only on the $1,999 Scale plan. No ATS integrations are named, and it is an early-stage, Stanford-backed startup with no public reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a deep library of coding tests
  • Buyers who need ATS integrations out of the box
  • Very high-volume hourly hiring

TestGorilla

Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.

Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need video as the product
  • Buyers who want one flat low price

What each one costs

Skillvee

$99/mo

Higher volumes are quoted. Extra assessments are $10 each. Monthly billing costs about 20% more and its allowance resets each cycle, while annual allowances pool across the year. There are no setup fees, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
