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

Pros and cons

TestGorilla

  • Free plan with monthly credits
  • Works with most major trackers
  • Anti-cheating measures included
  • Steep step from Core to Plus
  • No MCP
  • Not a video interview suite

TestInvite

  • Public $900/year Starter
  • No-card trial with 100 credits
  • Proctoring and an exam builder rather than a quiz widget
  • AI evaluations are not on Starter
  • API is Pro
  • 500 credits will not cover a large exam programme
