We make Tracy AI Interviewer.
Spark Hire pricing is public: the video interview plan starts at $249 a month when billed annually, with unlimited interviews. That is a flat subscription for recorded one-way and live video. Tracy AI Interviewer charges for each interview that produced a result. This page sets out Spark Hire's plans, what costs extra, and what 100, 500 and 1,000 interviews cost on each, so you can see where a flat plan beats pay per result and where it does not. See Tracy's pricing for the full list.
What does Spark Hire pricing look like?
Spark Hire sells video interviews, a behavioral assessment and an applicant tracking system, each priced separately. Both video interview plans carry the note "Pricing varies by company size", so the figures below are starting prices. Annual billing adds live training and a Customer Success Manager, which are annual only. Recruit, the ATS, is sold only on an annual contract. Recruit prices also scale with headcount.

What costs extra on Spark Hire?
API access, single sign-on and additional brands are paid add-ons. Spark Hire says several integrations need a paid add-on too, including Dayforce, UKG Pro and Workday. Its FAQ says that because service starts as soon as you pay, "we do not offer refunds". A free trial is not stated on the pricing page, which offers a demo. SOC 2 Type II is available on request.
What does Spark Hire cost at 100, 500 and 1,000 interviews?
This is our arithmetic from the published prices, not a Spark Hire quote. Spark Hire's annual video plan is a flat $2,988 a year at its starting price, whatever the number of interviews, so its cost per interview falls as volume rises: about $29.88 at 100, $5.98 at 500 and $2.99 at 1,000. The two products also differ in what an interview is, a recorded answer to fixed questions on one side and a two-way conversation with follow-ups on the other. Tracy charges one credit for each started 20 minutes, so 45 minutes is 3 credits.

At 100 and 500 interviews a year Tracy costs less than Spark Hire's starting price, and the two meet near 1,000 interviews of 45 minutes.
Where does Spark Hire's flat price win?
For short interviews the flat plan wins late: Tracy at 20 minutes reaches $2,988 only at about 3,000 interviews a year, and at 45 minutes at about 1,000. Beyond that, and for a team that wants one tool for live and recorded video, scheduling and its own ATS, Spark Hire's flat price is the better deal. It is the better pick, too, when recorded answers to fixed questions are all the first round needs.
How does Tracy's pricing suit volume?
Tracy has no seats, no plans to climb and no upfront cost. A credit is $1 and covers each started 20 minutes of an interview that produced a result. Credits never expire, and a session with no answers is never charged. Each applicant starts on a click, at any hour, with no scheduling. One customer cut its average time to hire from 44 days to 7. See hiring at volume.
One credit buys the whole interview: the follow-up, the evidence and a written assessment, not a bare recording.
