There is no public rate card. The marketing homepage currently gives little product detail, so buyers should use docs.validia.ai and a demo. This is identity authentication, not a full interviewer.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Know Your People is agentless inside the conference tool. It marks facial, voice, and behavioral mismatches, VPN use, and timing anomalies, aimed at proxy interviews and deepfake presence.

Why it comes up: Sherlock AI publishes from $100/mo for interview-fraud signals if you want a priced detector rather than agentless identity.
Stands out: Plans split into Only Fraud Detection, Fraud plus AI Fluency, and a full suite that adds automated interview notes, all with unlimited seats under fair use.
Watch out: Cost per interview depends on which checks each interview uses, so $50 of credits covers anywhere from about 5 to 10 interviews. Enterprise volume pricing is quoted.

Why it comes up: HireID is a quoted integrity layer whose Interview Agent joins the live conference, unlike Validia's agentless model.
Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.
Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.
Best for
$250/mo API
Why it comes up: Persona is quoted identity verification for onboarding and KYC, not live interview authentication inside Zoom.
Stands out: Building blocks for verification, workflows, fraud graph, and case review rather than a single fixed check.
Watch out: The entry plan starts at $250 a month with a 12-month minimum, and Growth and Enterprise are quoted. This is an identity stack for product and risk teams, not a cheap one-off ID scan.
Best for
$100/mo 7 day free trial
Why it comes up: Interview Guard uses a candidate desktop app and does not record, a different install model than Validia's agentless conference check.
Stands out: It looks for 100-plus AI helpers including ChatGPT, Cluely, and InterviewCoder, plus overlays, remote desktop, VMs, VPN location spoofing, deepfakes, and proxy input. Alerts fire during the interview. Setup is pitched as three minutes with no IT project.
Watch out: This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Per-interview fees apply on top of the monthly plan.
