Talview from Contact for pricingFree trialAPI

The short answer

  • HireVue : Enterprise structured video if Talview is the other RFP in a high-volume interview bake-off. From Enterprise
  • Spark Hire : Lighter video interviewing if you do not need Talview proctoring. From $249/mo
  • Testlify : Skills tests plus video screening if the brief is assessments more than proctoring. From Contact for pricing
  • Willo : One-way video for SMBs if enterprise proctoring is not the requirement. From $59/role/mo

Why people look past Talview

Quote-only. This is not a $100/mo one-way video tool. Proctoring and fraud features are why enterprises buy it.

What we noted

  • Quote-only
  • Overkill for SMB one-way video
  • Implementation, not a credit-card start

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that want Willo-priced one-way video
  • Agencies that only need notes
  • Buyers who need a public seat price

Worth keeping in mind: Interviews, skills tests, and proctoring in one enterprise suite, common in India and global high-volume programmes.

What each one does differently

HireVue

Enterprise

Why it comes up: Enterprise structured video if Talview is the other RFP in a high-volume interview bake-off.

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

  • Enterprise talent teams standardising video interviews
  • Teams that need assessments before an onsite
  • High-volume employers that cannot run live first rounds

Spark Hire

$249/mo API

Why it comes up: Lighter video interviewing if you do not need Talview proctoring.

Stands out: Unlimited video interviews at a public $249/month annual start, then a full ATS if you want sourcing and workflows in the same vendor.

Watch out: The ATS (Recruit Pro) starts at $335/month billed annually, not $249. AI resume review and notetaker hours are metered by ATS plan. No free trial is advertised.

Best for

  • TA teams replacing live first rounds with one-way video
  • SMBs that want video without an enterprise HireVue contract
  • Companies that may grow into Spark Hire's ATS

4.7 on Capterra from 109 reviews

Testlify

Contact for pricing API

Why it comes up: Skills tests plus video screening if the brief is assessments more than proctoring.

Stands out: Role-based test library plus video screening in one workflow, aimed at skills-first hiring rather than a coding-only HackerRank brief.

Watch out: Pricing is not published, so budget from a quote. ATS integrations are an add-on on some plans.

Best for

  • TA teams that want skills tests and video in one tool
  • Companies building role-based assessments
  • Hiring teams comparing TestGorilla

4.0 on Capterra from 29 reviews

Willo

$59/role/mo 14 day free trial

Why it comes up: One-way video for SMBs if enterprise proctoring is not the requirement.

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

  • Small and mid-sized teams running async screens
  • Teams on Greenhouse, Workable, Lever or Ashby
  • Hiring managers who review on their own time
