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

Wonderlic

Stands out: Unlimited candidate reports are included once you are on a plan, with no per-assessment overage called out in the FAQ. The majority of customers cited on the site are companies with 100 to 2,500 employees.

Watch out: There is no public per-test or seat table. Capterra's $6,000/user/year starting price is not a vendor rate. Support channels (chat vs phone vs CSM) vary by plan.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need a self-serve skills-test library they can buy tonight
Buyers who only want coding simulations rather than cognitive fit
