BrightHire pricing is not public. Tracy AI Interviewer publishes hers, on [Tracy's pricing](/pricing): $1 per credit, the first 3 results free, no seats and no upfront cost. A public price means you can budget a first round before any call, and an applicant can start on click at any hour with no recruiter booking it.

- Choose BrightHire when your interviewers run the calls and you want notes, highlights and scorecards in the ATS, native connectors to its 18 listed ATS, or a third-party bias audit.
- Choose Tracy when you want the first round run for every applicant at a price you can compute today.

## What does Tracy cost at 100, 500 and 1,000 interviews?

Tracy charges one credit, $1, for each started 20 minutes of an interview that produced a result. A 15-minute interview is $1 and a 34-minute one is $2. Credits never expire, a session with no answers is never charged, and API and MCP access (see [Connect](/connect)) is included. The first 3 results are free whatever their length; the totals ignore that.

Tracy cost by interview count, from the published rate of $1 per credit; BrightHire is quote-only, Nov 2026.

| Interviews | Tracy, up to 20 minutes each (1 credit) | Tracy, 21 to 40 minutes each (2 credits) | BrightHire |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | $100 | $200 | Not public. Quote on request. |
| 500 | $500 | $1,000 | Not public. Quote on request. |
| 1,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 | Not public. Quote on request. |

Tracy's cost is a number you can compute today: $1 per interview of up to 20 minutes at any volume.

## How does a BrightHire quote convert to Tracy interviews?

Our reasoning, not a BrightHire price: a plan priced by company size or volume comes down to one yearly number, and each $1,000 of first-year quote equals 1,000 Tracy interviews of up to 20 minutes. So divide your quote by the interviews you will complete and compare it with $1 per interview of up to 20 minutes. If you only want notes on interviews your team runs, you are buying Interview Intelligence, and the per-result comparison does not apply. For the wider market, see [AI interview cost](/blog/ai-interview-cost).

## What should you ask on a BrightHire quote call?

Say which of the three products you need and have your yearly interview volume, your ATS and your regions ready. Then ask:

1. Which products are in the quote, and what does bundling save, in dollars?
2. What is the unit for each, and what is the first-year total at our volume and at twice our volume?
3. What does implementation include, and what are the term and renewal terms?
4. Are ATS connectors and the MCP server in the price?
5. Can we run BrightHire Screen live on our own role before we sign?
6. Can a reviewer get from a score to the sentence the candidate said, and is the recording kept as video or only audio?

Tracy answers the money questions on her pricing page, so the call can go to fit. See also [HireVue pricing](/compare/hirevue-pricing).

## How do BrightHire and Tracy compare on the four pillars?

Price is one line. The bigger question is what the interview gives you.

Tracy cells come from her own pages. BrightHire cells are its statements.

| Criterion | Tracy AI Interviewer | BrightHire | What to ask or who leads |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Depth | Two-way video interview. She asks follow-ups in the person's own field and waits for the answer. Questions come from your brief or your own list, and a coding task can sit inside the interview. | Screen runs async voice or video interviews, generates custom questions and follow-ups, and you approve the questions first. Interview Intelligence records interviews that people run. | Ask for a live run of Screen on your own role, and how many answers get a second question. |
| Volume | Every applicant starts on click, at any hour, with no scheduling. Each interview is ready in under 10 seconds. A dropped applicant can rejoin within 10 minutes (configurable per customer). | Screen is async: candidates respond anytime, with no scheduling, on any device. | Ask what happens when 200 applicants start in one day, and how that volume is priced. |
| Stack | API and MCP connections (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, Gemini, Copilot Studio), Slack, WhatsApp and Zapier, and use beside the Workable and Breezy HR connectors. | 18 ATS named, including Greenhouse, Workday and SAP SuccessFactors, plus Zoom, Google Meet and Teams. Data flows both ways with the ATS for Screen. | Name your ATS and ask which connector is included. |
| Evidence | A recording of both sides, a timestamped transcript, a written assessment per question with its reasoning, and integrity signals with their evidence. A person decides. | Screen gives a candidate ranking, scoring, summaries, transcripts and audio playback. Interview Intelligence adds notes and highlight clips. | Ask to open one result and get from the assessment to the sentence the candidate said. |
| Price | $1 per credit, one credit per started 20 minutes. First 3 results free, no seats, no upfront cost, and an empty session is never charged. | Not public. Each product is priced on its own and you request a demo. | Ask for the unit, the first-year total at your volume and at twice your volume. |
| Implementation and service | Enterprise includes a dedicated customer manager, a setup customised to your workflow and a walkthrough for your team. Tracy is customised in days per customer need. | Says most customers are set up in under a day with no extra fees, and lists dedicated customer success. | Level on service. BrightHire states the faster setup. |
| Multilingual | Language count: not stated. A spoken-language check scores fluency, coherence, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary from 0 to 100 beside the transcript. | Interviews in 30+ languages, live and async. | BrightHire on published languages; Tracy adds a spoken-language check. |
| Security and compliance | SOC 2 Type II attested, with the report on request at hello@tracyinterview.ai. | Says SOC 2 Type II certified, and GDPR and CCPA compliant. | Level on SOC 2 Type II. BrightHire also states GDPR and CCPA. |
| Validation, bias controls and human oversight | A person reviews the evidence report and decides, and the full history stays on the record. Tracy publishes no bias audit. | Says it has annual independent third-party AI bias audits and an AI governance committee. Recruiters and hiring managers decide. | BrightHire documents more. Tracy publishes no bias audit. |

*Tracy gives a reviewer each stated point with its quote and the recording behind it, so the $1 buys a result you can check. Illustration with sample data*

One credit buys a result a reviewer can check: the person's own words, a timestamp and the recording.
