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
