TestGorilla
Published pricingCore plan, billed annually
TestGorilla requires an annual commitment. One-way video interviews are limited to the Plus plan.
Every candidate enters one workflow you design. Resumes get parsed against your criteria, one-way interview responses transcribe and score, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments add evidence beyond self-presentation. Everything ranks into one shortlist with one match score.
TestGorilla's paid plans run on an annual commitment. Truffle is one plan you can pay monthly, with one shared pool of credits, unlimited positions, and unlimited team members. On Starter you get a hard cap with no overages, so there's no surprise bill, and on Core and up unused credits roll over. No per-seat charge for hiring managers and reviewers.
Match scores trace back to the criteria you set during intake, AI Summaries cite specific responses, and Candidate Shorts pick the three most-revealing 30-second moments and explain why. The AI is compressing the time between hundreds of applications and a real shortlist. It isn't making the call for you.
Truffle's sweet spot
Owner-operators (a founder, COO, GM, or franchisee) at a small business, roughly 5 to 100 people, with no in-house recruiter, plus small owner-run staffing and recruiting agencies. You hire the same handful of roles over and over, 15 to 30 open at a time, year-round, on roles where a resume alone doesn't tell you who's real. Self-serve buyers who want resume screening, one-way video, and assessments in one workflow without an annual contract.
Where they may be stronger
TestGorilla is purpose-built around a deep skills-test library, with 350+ cognitive, technical, and role-specific tests plus proctoring and anti-cheating tools. If your screening is mostly standardized skills and coding tests, and you want the broadest test catalog, TestGorilla is a focused fit. It's worth the trial.
Data import
Most teams point their next role at a Truffle Position Link and let the TestGorilla assessment finish on its own. Within two to three weeks the new workflow is the only one running. CSV bulk invite handles any candidates worth contacting again.
Timeline
Under 10 minutes from signup to live Position Link. AI Match and Candidate Shorts are on by default. The first ranked shortlist usually arrives within 48 hours of going live.
No friction
No annual contract required. No setup fee. 7-day free trial with no credit card. Cancel any time.

Truffle starts at $49 per month, and you can pay monthly with no annual lock-in. TestGorilla's paid plans are billed annually, with Core listing around $1,620 per year and Plus starting around $4,800 per year. Truffle also includes resume screening and one-way interviews from the entry plan, where TestGorilla keeps video on its Plus tier.
TestGorilla added one-way and conversational AI video interviews, but they sit on the higher Plus plan rather than the entry tier. Truffle includes one-way interviews on every plan, with full transcripts, AI Match scoring, and 30-second Candidate Shorts that surface the three most-revealing moments.
Truffle includes three structured assessments: Personality based on Big Five research, Situational Judgment built around your team's real scenarios, and Environment Fit. They measure work-style, judgment, and role fit rather than deep technical skills. If you need a broad library of coding and role-specific skills tests, TestGorilla's 350+ catalog is built for that. See how Truffle's assessments work.
Truffle doesn't pull data directly out of TestGorilla. The cleanest migration is to point your next open role at a Truffle Position Link and let your existing TestGorilla assessment finish on its own. Most teams are fully on Truffle within two to three weeks. Native and Zapier integrations cover most ATS handoffs from there.
Yes. Truffle starts at $49 per month with a true monthly option. Unlimited positions, unlimited team members, and 200 credits a month on Starter are included, shared across resumes, interviews, and assessments. TestGorilla's paid plans require an annual commitment.
