HireVue alternatives: seven tools compared, with the prices HireVue doesn't publish
HireVue is an enterprise hiring platform covering live and on-demand video interviews, assessments, scheduling and conversational AI agents, with FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications and native integrations into Workday, SAP, Oracle and SmartRecruiters. It publishes no prices. People look for alternatives for two very different reasons: they're too small for it and found that out on a sales call, or they want the same job done without a procurement cycle.
Side by side
The blank cells in HireVue's row, and in VidCruiter's and Jobma's, aren't gaps in our research: none of those three publishes an entry price, a free plan or a trial length on their public site. That's itself the most useful column on this page.

The tools in detail
HireVue
HireVue is an enterprise hiring platform covering live and on-demand video interviewing, assessments, interview scheduling and conversational AI agents, with integrations into Workday, SAP, Oracle and SmartRecruiters, and ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and FedRAMP certifications.
HireVue doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page names an Essential and a Premium package and routes you to a demo request. There is no stated entry price, no seat count, no free plan and no trial length anywhere on it. Everything you would want to compare here is behind a conversation with their sales team.
Pick HireVue if
- You're a large organization and need FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type 2 or ISO/IEC 27001 on the vendor questionnaire. VoxScreen holds none of those.
- Your ATS is Workday, SAP, Oracle or SmartRecruiters and you need a deep native integration instead of a webhook.
- You need live interviews, scheduling and structured assessments in one platform. VoxScreen does none of those three — it schedules nothing on purpose.
- You hire at genuinely enterprise volume across campus, hourly and technical tracks at once, which is the shape their product is built around.

VidCruiter
VidCruiter is a recruiting platform covering pre-recorded and live video interviews, interview scheduling, an applicant tracking system, skills testing, automated reference checking and video proctoring, with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications and a published VPAT for accessibility.
VidCruiter doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page is a form: you fill it in and their team quotes against the modules you want. There is no stated entry price, no free plan and no trial length on the public site.
Pick VidCruiter if
- You want one vendor for interviews, scheduling, references, proctoring and applicant tracking. VoxScreen is only the interview step.
- Accessibility is a procurement requirement. VidCruiter publishes a VPAT, which is unusual in this category and is a real thing to hold up in a public-sector bid.
- You need automated reference checking or video proctoring. VoxScreen has neither.
- You're in a regulated or public-sector context where SOC 2 Type II and the ISO 27001 family are on the questionnaire.

Jobma
Jobma is a virtual interviewing platform offering one-way video interviews, live and panel interviews, autonomous AI interviewing, scheduling, AI scoring, transcription and skills assessments across 16 languages, with SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications.
Jobma doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page says packages are custom, based on volume, integrations and feature needs, and points you at sales. There is no stated entry price, no free plan and no trial length on the public site.
Pick Jobma if
- You screen in languages outside English, Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese. Jobma states 16, including Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. VoxScreen covers five.
- You need live and panel interviews alongside the recorded ones. VoxScreen has neither.
- SOC 2 Type II or ISO/IEC 27001 is on your vendor questionnaire. VoxScreen holds neither certification.
- You want skills assessments in the same tool as the interviews. Jobma sells technical, cognitive and role-based tests. VoxScreen doesn't.

Spark Hire
Spark Hire sells three separate products: an applicant tracking system, video interviewing, and behavioural assessment. Paid plans carry unlimited users, and pricing steps up with company size.
The video interview product is $299/mo month-to-month for up to 5 simultaneous jobs and 5 users, or $249/mo billed annually with unlimited jobs and users. The ATS plans start at $335/mo, annual only. No free plan is offered.
Pick Spark Hire if
- You want an ATS and a video interview tool from one vendor on one contract.
- You buy on an annual contract through procurement. The ATS plans are annual only and priced for that.
- You want behavioural assessment and automated reference checks in the same purchase.

Truffle
Truffle is candidate screening software combining resume screening, one-way video interviews and talent assessments, all drawing on a single monthly credit pool. A resume screen costs 1 credit, an assessment 2, and a one-way interview 5.
Starter is $49/mo billed monthly with 200 credits and a hard cap. Core is $99/mo billed annually with 7,200 credits a year, Team $199/mo, Scale $499/mo, and rollover plus $0.25 overage credits above Starter. The trial is 7 days and 30 credits, no card.
Pick Truffle if
- Resume screening is the bottleneck, not the interview. Truffle prices that as its cheapest action.
- Your volume swings month to month and credit rollover is worth more to you than a fixed allowance.
- You want assessments and interviews measured in one budget not two subscriptions.

Hireflix
Hireflix is a focused one-way video interview product with unlimited seats, positions and responses on every paid plan, a well-documented GraphQL API and signed webhooks, and integrations into most ATS products.
Hireflix publishes $75/mo for companies under 50 employees and $150/mo for 50 to 250, both billed yearly, with a custom tier above that and a one-month free trial. There is no permanently free plan.
Pick Hireflix if
- You interview at high volume and want one flat price instead of a per-candidate allowance.
- You already run a mature ATS and want the interview tool to plug in and stay out of the way.
- Your team prefers to watch and judge answers itself rather than start from an AI score.
- You want the interview on your own domain. Hireflix sells custom domains. VoxScreen doesn't have them, so the candidate page stays on ours.

Interviewer.AI
Interviewer.AI is an asynchronous video interview platform that scores recorded answers, sold in three tiers metered by monthly interview credits, interview duration, job posts and user licences, with unused credits rolling over.
Essential is $199/mo billed monthly for 50 interview credits, 20-minute interviews, 3 job posts and 15 user licences. Professional is $399/mo for 120 credits, 30-minute interviews, 5 job posts and 25 licences. Enterprise is custom and annual. Credits roll over on every tier. The trial is 14 days and 5 AI interview assessments, and there is no free plan.
Pick Interviewer.AI if
- You want interviews longer than a few minutes. Their tiers include 20- and 30-minute interview durations as an explicit product feature.
- Unused volume rolling over matters to you. Interviewer.AI rolls credits over on every tier. VoxScreen's monthly candidate allowance doesn't roll over.
- You want a large number of user licences named on the plan instead of left uncapped (15 on Essential, 25 on Professional) because your procurement process wants a number.

Which one to look at first
If you're a small team that got quoted enterprise money: VoxScreen, Hireflix, Truffle and Interviewer.AI all publish their prices and all start self-serve. VoxScreen is the only free one. 50 candidates a month, unlimited seats, no card.
If you need the enterprise shape but not HireVue specifically: VidCruiter is the closest, and adds automated reference checking, video proctoring and a published VPAT for accessibility. Jobma is the closest on the interview product itself, with 16 languages and SOC 2 Type II.
If it was the assessments you wanted, not the interviews: none of the pure interview tools here replace HireVue's assessment library, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. Truffle bundles assessments with screening. Vervoe grades work samples.
If you genuinely need FedRAMP, stay. Nothing else on this page holds it, and no amount of price difference substitutes for a compliance requirement you can't waive.
Common questions
How much does HireVue cost?
HireVue doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page names an Essential and a Premium package and routes you to a demo request, with no entry price, seat count, free plan or trial length stated anywhere on it. Any figure you find quoted elsewhere is second-hand, which is why this page shows the cell as not stated rather than repeating a number we can't verify.
Is there a cheaper alternative to HireVue?
Almost certainly, though the honest answer is that nobody outside HireVue's sales team can tell you by how much. What can be checked: OneWayInterview is $13.99/mo on an annual plan, VoxScreen is free to 50 candidates a month and then $39/mo, Truffle and Hirevire start at $49/mo, Hireflix at $75/mo and Interviewer.AI at $199/mo. All of those are published prices you can read today.
Which HireVue alternatives are built for small teams?
VoxScreen, Hireflix, OneWayInterview, Hirevire and Truffle are all self-serve: you sign up, set up a role and send a link, with no sales call and no implementation project. VidCruiter and Jobma are enterprise-shaped like HireVue and sold the same way. Interviewer.AI is self-serve but starts at $199/mo, which is a lot for a team hiring twice a year.
Do any alternatives match HireVue's certifications?
Partly. VidCruiter holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, plus a published VPAT. Jobma holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001. Willo holds ISO 27001. None of them holds FedRAMP, and VoxScreen holds none of these, if a certification is a hard requirement, that narrows this list fast and it should.
VoxScreen makes one of the tools on this page, so read the ranking with that in mind.
