Adaface ranks third on value. It is the cheapest paid way into skills testing on this list, and every plan price is on the page. The Individual plan costs $180 a year for 12 credits, Starter is $500 for 50 credits and Pro is $900 for 100. Credits are spent in a simple way: 5 to set up a ready-to-use test, 10 for a custom test and 1 per candidate invite, and the invite credit comes back if the candidate never takes the test. The library spans programming languages, IT platforms such as SAP, Salesforce and Power BI, machine learning, cognitive ability, the Big 5 personality model, languages, typing and finance, so one account can cover technical and business roles. Proctoring options and ATS integrations are listed as features. The small plans fill up fast once setup credits are counted, so a team testing more than a few dozen candidates should start at Pro or Scale.
Who it is for
