TLDR Sapia.ai does not disclose its price. Its pricing page says the answer depends on your hiring needs and offers a session with its team. It bills per hire. Tracy AI Interviewer is transparent: $1 per credit, one credit per started 20 minutes, first 3 results free, no seats, no upfront cost.
At low hiring volume, a per-hire model with a minimum or a contract is likely to cost more per hire than pay-as-you-go. That is our reasoning, not a Sapia.ai fact.
At the price, Tracy gives follow-ups in the applicant's own field (Depth), start on click at any hour (Volume), API, MCP and chat-tool connections (Stack), and a recording and timestamped transcript behind every result (Evidence).
Tracy costs $100 for 100 interviews, $500 for 500 and $1,000 for 1,000, at 20 minutes or less each.
We make Tracy AI Interviewer.
Sapia AI pricing is not public. The pricing page lists no plan, rate or billing period; it says the answer depends on the hiring needs of your organization and offers a session to build a pricing guide. Tracy AI Interviewer puts the whole price on one pricing page: $1 per credit, one credit per started 20 minutes, first 3 results free, no seats, no upfront cost. Low, transparent pricing is part of what Tracy is. This page shows what Sapia.ai says about how it charges, how to estimate your cost, and what each tool gives you for the money.
What does Sapia.ai say about its pricing?
Sapia.ai's pricing page states: "The answer depends on the hiring needs and challenges of your organization." The rest describes the shape of the deal, not a figure.
Source: Sapia.ai pricing page, Nov 2026.
| Item | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Plans and list prices | None listed. No plan names and no figures. |
| Billing unit | Per hire. You pay for the people you end up hiring, and you can interview as many people as you want. |
| Who it is designed for | Companies that hire more than 500 people a year. |
| Extra costs | Custom integrations may carry fixed costs, told in advance. |
| How to get a price | A session with its team. No free trial or self-serve sign-up is mentioned. |
How would per-hire pricing work out for a small team?
Per-hire pricing moves the cost from the interview to the outcome: you interview as many applicants as you like and pay when someone is hired. For a company that hires hundreds a year, that shape is attractive, and Sapia.ai's page says its technology is designed for companies above 500 hires a year.
Reasoning for a smaller team, not a Sapia.ai fact: Sapia.ai states no minimum, contract term or annual fee, but a vendor that tailors a rate to your yearly hiring and may add fixed integration costs has some fixed part to its deal. A fixed part is divided by your hires: small per hire across 600 hires, ten times larger across 60 specialist hires. Pay-as-you-go has no fixed part. So at low volume a per-hire model with a minimum or a contract is likely to cost more per hire. With no minimum the effect disappears, and at very high volume a low per-hire rate can beat any per-interview price.
How can you estimate what Sapia.ai might cost you?
You cannot price it from the outside, and we will not guess a figure. Build the model from your own numbers so the quote slots in:
- Count the hires you expect in the next twelve months for the roles you would screen.
- Ask for the per-hire rate at that count, and any fixed fees, minimum or annual term.
- Divide the fixed fees by your hires and add the per-hire rate.
For Tracy the sum needs no quote: interviews per hire times credits per interview times $1. At 20 interviews per hire of 20 minutes or less, that is $20 per hire, or $1,200 for 60 hires. A 34-minute interview uses two credits, $2. Our AI interview cost guide covers the full cost of a first round.
What does Tracy cost at 100, 500 and 1,000 interviews?
One credit is $1 and covers each started 20 minutes of an interview that produced a result. Credits never expire, there are no seats and no upfront cost, a session with no answers is never charged, and your first 3 results are free with no card. See the pricing page.
Tracy: tracyinterview.ai/pricing, $1 per credit, before the 3 free results. Sapia.ai: pricing page, Nov 2026.
| Interviews run | Tracy, up to 20 minutes each | Tracy, 21 to 40 minutes each | Sapia.ai |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $100 | $200 | Per-hire rate on request |
| 500 | $500 | $1,000 | Per-hire rate on request |
| 1,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 | Per-hire rate on request |
Tracy's cost at 100, 500 and 1,000 interviews is a sum you can do yourself, and Sapia.ai's is a rate you must ask for.
What do you get at each price: depth, volume, stack and evidence?
The two tools buy different things. The table sets them side by side on four pillars.
Tracy: product documentation and pricing page. Sapia.ai: its Chat Interview and pricing pages, Nov 2026.
| Pillar | What you get with Tracy at $1 per credit | What Sapia.ai's pages describe |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | Follow-ups in the applicant's own field, waiting for the end of the thought. Your own questions or ones drafted from the role. | Five structured questions in an untimed text chat, the same for every applicant. Follow-ups are not mentioned. |
| Volume | Starts on click at any hour, ready in under 10 seconds, no account. Billed per interview, so cost scales with use. | Text on a phone, untimed, pause and return. Unlimited interviews, billed per hire; designed for companies hiring more than 500 a year. |
| Stack | API and MCP, chat tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, WhatsApp), Workable and Breezy HR beside the ATS connector. No seat fee. | Integrates with the ATS or HRIS you already have; custom integrations may carry fixed costs. |
| Evidence | Recording and timestamped transcript behind every result, a written assessment per question, integrity signals with evidence. A person decides. | Every score traceable to the candidate's own words; ranked shortlist with the evidence beneath it; people decide. |
Tracy's published price buys follow-ups, instant start, open connections and a recording behind every result.
Depth: what happens when an answer is thin?
Take a data engineer who says they restart a failed batch from the top. In Tracy, that becomes the next question: how does the retry avoid loading the same rows twice, and what if two loads run at once? Sapia.ai's published chat asks five structured questions, the same for every applicant, and its pages do not mention follow-ups. If depth in the applicant's own field is what you pay for, ask to see a live set-up. How AI interviews work walks through a Tracy session.
Volume: what does a large applicant pool cost in time and money?
Tracy starts each interview on click, in a browser with no account, and you pay only for interviews that produced a result. Hiring at volume shows how teams run it. Sapia.ai's text chat is untimed, works on a phone and has no interview cap, a good fit for a team above 500 hires a year whose applicants lack a quiet room or camera. Tracy's two-way video asks more of an applicant's setup, and that is a real limit.
Stack: what does it cost to connect to your tools?
Tracy connects through API and MCP, chat tools and beside the Workable and Breezy HR connectors, with no seat fee; the Connect page lists each one. Sapia.ai says it integrates with the ATS or HRIS you already have, and that custom integrations may carry fixed costs, so put that line in your budget.
Evidence: can a reviewer check a result?
Sapia.ai states that every score is traceable to the candidate's own words and that people decide. Tracy keeps a recording of both sides and a timestamped transcript behind every result, plus integrity signals (tab changes, abnormal eye tracking, face detection, delay before answers, leaving fullscreen) for a person to review. We give no detection rate. See AI interview reports.
Every finished interview is one line with a score and a result to open, so you can see what each credit bought.
What should you ask Sapia.ai for a quote?
Ask for each answer in writing:
- the per-hire rate at your annual hires, and what counts as a hire;
- any minimum, annual fee or contract term;
- fixed costs for your ATS integration and custom work;
- whether a pilot is possible, and its price.
