Small team means 3 open jobs, 60 answers a month, 1 recruiter, on the cheapest monthly plan that includes AI scoring, where a vendor has one; otherwise the note under the price says which plan we used. Prices checked on October 20, 2026 from each vendor's own pricing page.
How we picked and compared them
Every tool here does one-way (asynchronous) video interviews, publishes its prices, and lets a small team sign up today without booking a demo. That rules out enterprise-only products such as HireVue and VidCruiter; if you were looking at those, our HireVue alternatives page covers the switch.
We read each vendor's pricing page and help center on October 19 and 20, 2026. Where we couldn't find a feature, we say that, rather than claiming the tool doesn't have it. We make AnswerReel, so it is on the list too, with its weak spots written out like everyone else's. Tools are in alphabetical order.

What to check before you pay
Who writes the scoring criteria, and can you see the evidence?
Some tools score fixed factors you can't change. Others score criteria you write. Either way, open a sample report and look for the candidate's own words next to the scores. A score you can't check is hard to defend to a client or a candidate. Our AI scoring page shows what that looks like.
What the candidate has to do
Completion is the number that matters most in a one-way interview, and small frictions add up: making candidates create an account, charging them to retake an answer, or forcing video when they would rather type. Our guide to one-way video interviews covers what keeps completion high.
The limits that bite
Read the plan limits on jobs, seats, responses per month and how long videos are kept. Agencies with many roles open at once hit job limits first; per-job pricing grows the same way.
Contracts and the law
Monthly billing lets you stop when a hiring push ends. If you screen candidates in New York City, Illinois, Colorado, Connecticut, California or the EU, check what the employer has to do before using AI scores. Our AI hiring laws summary lists the duties and dates. For a wider view that includes resume and skills screening, see candidate screening software compared.
