The short answer

  • TestGorilla : Pre-hire skills library if you do not need to build and proctor your own exams. From $215/mo
  • Talview : Enterprise video plus proctoring if TestInvite is too exam-platform and not enough interview. From Contact for pricing
  • CoderPad : Engineering screens if the exam is code, not a general question bank. From $80/mo
  • HackerRank : Developer hiring assessments when the audience is engineering. From $79/mo

Why people look past TestInvite

Starter includes zero AI evaluations. REST API starts on Pro. $900/year is 500 credits, not unlimited testing.

What we noted

  • AI evaluations are not on Starter
  • API is Pro
  • 500 credits will not cover a large exam programme

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

Worth keeping in mind: A public annual grid for a serious exam platform (question banks, scoring, proctoring), not a five-question culture quiz.

What each one does differently

TestGorilla

$215/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Pre-hire skills library if you do not need to build and proctor your own exams.

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.

Best for

  • Teams that want evidence before a live interview
  • Organisations on the major applicant trackers
  • Buyers replacing an enterprise assessment module

Talview

Contact for pricing Free trial API

Why it comes up: Enterprise video plus proctoring if TestInvite is too exam-platform and not enough interview.

Stands out: Interviews, skills tests, and proctoring in one enterprise suite, common in India and global high-volume programmes.

Watch out: Quote-only. This is not a $100/mo one-way video tool. Proctoring and fraud features are why enterprises buy it.

Best for

  • High-volume enterprise hiring programmes
  • Teams that need video plus assessments plus proctoring
  • Workday, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, or iCIMS customers

CoderPad

$80/mo 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Engineering screens if the exam is code, not a general question bank.

Stands out: AI Assist puts an LLM inside the pad on every plan, with prompts captured for playback.

Watch out: Starter covers only 5 interviews a month or 60 a year. ATS integrations, SSO and API access are Enterprise only; monthly overages cost $30 each.

Best for

  • Engineering teams running live coding interviews
  • Teams testing how candidates use AI
  • Small teams with light interview volume

HackerRank

$79/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Developer hiring assessments when the audience is engineering.

Stands out: Chakra AI interviewer, Screen, and live Interview on every plan, with MCP and API on Enterprise.

Watch out: Starter and Pro do not include API or MCP. Extra attempts are $20 each. ATS hooks start on Pro.

Best for

  • Small teams making first technical hires on Starter
  • Growing teams that need Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby on Pro
  • Orgs that want an agentic IDE and AI-assisted scoring
