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

Buyers who want one flat low price

Truffle

Stands out: A published $49 entry price with match reasoning, where rivals quote five figures.

Watch out: It is not a validated assessment suite, so regulated or high-stakes selection may need more.

Not the right fit for

Enterprises that need validated assessments
Agencies that only need contact data
