Ashby association does not mean Talent Llama is included in every Ashby ATS seat. Confirm whether you need Ashby to buy, and what the $150/mo cap covers.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Conversational screening (not one-way video) at a published $150/mo floor, in Ashby's orbit rather than a generic video vendor.

$400/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Ashby is the ATS plus analytics from $400/mo. Talent Llama is the screener that sits next to it.
Stands out: Scheduling, CRM, reporting and analytics in one ATS, with a hosted MCP.
Watch out: The $400/month floor is real, and the higher tiers go back to a sales conversation.
Best for
Enterprise
Why it comes up: HireVue is enterprise structured video on a quote, heavier than a $150 conversational screener.
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
$59/role/mo 14 day free trial
Why it comes up: Willo is one-way video from $59/role/mo, async clips rather than a conversation.
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.
Best for
Sales-quoted 6 day free trial
Why it comes up: Hubert is a structured voice AI interviewer on a quote, a closer conversational peer without a $150 public floor.
Stands out: HubertDetect marks AI-written answers. Recruiter Agent, chat and voice interviews, and explainable 0-100 scores land in the ATS. Delivery is SMS and web. The vendor claims GDPR and EU AI Act alignment.
Watch out: There is no dollar table. Volume starts at 5,000 interviews a year, which is not an SMB first buy. Unlimited users is in the custom plan, but you still buy interview volume.
