Why people look past Willo

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

What we noted

  • Priced in pounds
  • Big jump to enterprise
  • Not a live-panel tool

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need live panel video
  • Teams running many roles at once on the entry plan

Worth keeping in mind: Priced per live role rather than per seat, with a long list of supported trackers.

What each one does differently

HireVue

Enterprise

Why it comes up: Enterprise video plus assessments if this is too light.

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

Truffle

$49/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: AI screening plus video 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

VidCruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Live plus automated video for public sector.

Stands out: Live and automated video from the same vendor, which most rivals split.

Watch out: No published price, and it is heavy for a small team's async screening.

Best for

  • Public-sector talent teams
  • Enterprise structured video interviewing
  • Teams that need live and automated from one vendor

Metaview

$60/user/mo Free tier MCP

Why it comes up: Notes on a live interview if async video is not the motion.

Stands out: Notes land on the candidate record rather than in someone's document.

Watch out: Each agent is priced separately, so adding Sourcing ($100 or $300 per user) or Application Review ($150 a month) to the $60 Notetaker adds up fast.

Best for

  • Recruiters who dislike writing up interviews
  • Teams that need notes on the ATS record
  • Buyers who want a free start
