Testlify ranks second because its entry plan bundles more assessment types than most rivals charge extra for. The Starter plan costs $139 per month billed at $1,668 a year and includes 100 credits, which works out to $16.68 per candidate, and a credit is only used when a candidate starts. That plan covers unlimited assessments, a library of 3,500+ tests, custom tests and coding challenges, role-based simulations in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, and AI video, audio and phone interviews, with phone time billed at $0.18 per minute. The proctoring list is long and included: face detection, tab and mouse tracking, multiple monitor restriction, session recording and AI assistance detection. The costs come from add-ons. ATS integrations and white labeling are $2,388 a year each, photo ID checks are $0.50 per attempt and live video proctoring is $5 per attempt. Teams that only need Greenhouse can use its free AI resume scoring integration.
