Where they pull apart

Talent Llama

Stands out: Conversational screening (not one-way video) at a published $150/mo floor, in Ashby's orbit rather than a generic video vendor.

Watch out: 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.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams standardized on Greenhouse with no Ashby interest
  • Hiring managers who only want async one-way video

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

Pros and cons

Talent Llama

  • Published $150/mo listing for a conversational AI screener

  • Priced per live role rather than per seat
  • Works with the major trackers
  • 14-day trial
  • Priced in pounds
  • Big jump to enterprise
  • Not a live-panel tool
