What we noted

No published price

Small businesses wanting a cheap async tool
Desks that only need interview notes

What each one does differently

HireVue

Enterprise

Why it comes up: Enterprise video plus validated assessments.

Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.

Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.

Best for

Enterprise talent teams standardising video interviews
Teams that need assessments before an onsite
High-volume employers that cannot run live first rounds

4.5 on Capterra from 50 reviews

Willo

$59/role/mo 14 day free trial

Why it comes up: Simpler one-way video for smaller screens.

Stands out: Priced per live role rather than per seat, with a long list of supported trackers.

Watch out: Priced in pounds, and there is a large gap between the entry plan and enterprise.

Best for

Small and mid-sized teams running async screens
Teams on Greenhouse, Workable, Lever or Ashby
Hiring managers who review on their own time

4.7 on Capterra from 39 reviews

Truffle

$49/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: AI screening at a published low price.

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.

Best for

High-volume small and mid-market hiring
Teams that want video and scores in one login
Buyers who need a published price

BrightHire

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Live-loop recording and coaching if you already interview on video calls.

Stands out: Interview recordings and coaching attached to the candidate record in the ATS.

Watch out: No published price, and it needs an ATS underneath it.

Best for

Talent teams on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workday
Panels where someone always misses the interview
Teams coaching their interviewers
