Methodology

How we evaluated this comparison

Pricing was taken from the vendor's own pricing page in August 2026 and is dated on this page. Where a vendor publishes no figures we say so rather than repeating third-party estimates. Capability claims are checked against the vendor's current product and support documentation, not against last year's feature set. We name what the competitor does better and who should buy it instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do TestGorilla credits work?

Credits are consumed per candidate, not per assessment: roughly one credit for a one-way AI video interview and two for a conversational AI interview, on top of test usage. The free plan includes 10 a month. Before buying, ask the vendor to price a realistic funnel of 100 applicants rather than a single candidate.

What does TestGorilla cost in 2026?

Free is perpetual with 10 credits a month, 5 essential tests and one full-access seat. Core is $142 per month, billed as $1,704 annually, with the full 350+ test library and two seats. Plus starts at $400 per month, billed as $4,800 annually, adding conversational AI interviews, job simulations, ID verification, ATS integrations and unlimited seats.

Can you buy TestGorilla month-to-month?

No. Both paid tiers are annual commitments billed up front, and reviewers specifically ask for a monthly option and say they preferred the older credit system for flexibility. If your hiring is seasonal, that inflexibility is the real cost, not the headline price.

Do credits pause during a hiring freeze?

No, and this is the most expensive detail nobody writes about. Credits sit inside a 12-month term and do not pause when hiring stops, so a team that freezes for a quarter pays for capacity it cannot use. Ask about rollover in writing before signing.

Do you need Plus for AI-scored interviews?

It depends which type. One-way AI video interviews moved down to Core at no extra cost in early 2026, while custom conversational AI interviews with your own evaluation criteria, job simulations and ID verification sit on Plus from $400 per month. Confirm exactly which interview product is in the quote.

Should you replace tests with AI interviews or run both?

Run both, in the right order. Use a short AI interview as the first filter on every applicant, then reserve the longer skills test for the shortlist. Asking every applicant to sit a 45-minute unpaid exam is where drop-off concentrates, and strong candidates decline first.
