Where they pull apart

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

TestInvite

Stands out: A public annual grid for a serious exam platform (question banks, scoring, proctoring), not a five-question culture quiz.

Watch out: Starter includes zero AI evaluations. REST API starts on Pro. $900/year is 500 credits, not unlimited testing.

Not the right fit for

TA teams that only need a TestGorilla-style library
Companies that need AI evaluation on the cheapest rung
High-volume hiring that wants an ATS attached
