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

TestnHire

Stands out: Pay-as-you-go connects sit alongside monthly and yearly plans, so an employer hiring occasionally does not have to hold a subscription. The same account also runs AI video interviews and automated proctoring, where some low-cost test libraries stop at the test itself.

Watch out: Subscription fees and pay-as-you-go connects are generally non-refundable once paid, including connects left unused in a billing cycle, so buy connects in small batches at first. Its site names no ATS integrations, so results may need to be moved into your ATS by hand.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need test results synced into an ATS
  • Enterprises needing validated psychometric batteries
  • Buyers who want refunds on unused credits
