We make Tracy AI Interviewer.

Talview alternatives depend on which part of Talview you use. Talview sells an AI interviewer called Ivy, live interview rooms, candidate verification, and exam proctoring with an AI proctoring agent called Alvy. A team that bought it for identity and proctoring needs a different shortlist from one that bought it for the interview.

This page covers seven options, Tracy AI Interviewer first, with price where it is public and the case where each is the better pick.

## Why do teams look for Talview alternatives?

Three reasons, from our reading of Talview's own pages.

- **No public price.** Its pricing page is a quote form, unit-based, with a typical minimum commitment of approximately 150 to 200 candidates.
- **A suite built around security.** Talview calls itself a "Security partner for high-stakes testing and hiring platforms". A team that wants only a first-round interviewer is buying into a larger identity and proctoring product.
- **Report contents.** Ivy's report lists the transcript, rubric scores and evidence; whether a recording sits beside the transcript is not stated.

## Which Talview alternative fits which job?

Best-for and published price for each option. "Quote" means the vendor publishes no price.

| Option | Best for | Published price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Tracy AI Interviewer | Follow-ups in the candidate's own field, with a recording and report a reviewer can check. | $1 per credit, one credit per started 20 minutes. First 3 results free. |
| HireVue | Enterprise governance, validated science and one suite for high-volume first rounds. | Quote. |
| VidCruiter | Live panels, scheduling, references and testing from one vendor. | Quote, by modules and volume. |
| Sapia.ai | Text-chat interviews for companies that hire more than 500 people a year. | Per hire, on request. |
| Willo | Low-cost recorded-question screening for a few live roles. | £49 per live role on Lite; Enterprise from £2,999 a year. |
| Hireflix | One-way video at a flat, low price for a small team. | $75 a month billed yearly under 50 employees; $150 for 50 to 250. |
| Interviewer.AI | Admissions and programme interviews with a branded portal. | $199 a month for 50 credits; $399 a month for 120 credits. |

*Tracy AI Interviewer sits with Interviewer.AI as a two-way interview with a price on the page; the other options need a quote or are one-way or text. From each vendor's own pages. Source: vendors' public pages, Nov 2026.*

Only Tracy and Interviewer.AI pair a two-way interview with a price you can read before a call.

## Tracy AI Interviewer: follow-ups and evidence at a published price

Tracy is a two-way video interview run by an AI interviewer. You describe the role and she drafts the questions from your job description, or you bring your own. She asks follow-ups in the person's own field and waits for the answer, reads the CV when your CV check is on, and can run a coding task inside the same interview. A Director at a top-tier early-stage VC says "Tracy sometimes brings up exactly those questions I might have forgotten to ask, which has been a pleasant surprise." See [how AI interviews work](/blog/how-do-ai-interviews-work).

After each interview you get a recording of both sides, a timestamped transcript, a written assessment for every question with its reasoning, and integrity signals with their evidence: tab changes, gaze, live face detection, delay before answers, fullscreen exits and external screens. A person decides. The package goes to a hiring manager by link or PDF ([AI interview reports](/blog/ai-interview-reports)). She has no seats and no upfront cost. Tracy connects through API and MCP, Slack, WhatsApp and Zapier ([Connect](/connect)).

**Where Talview is the better pick.** Talview verifies identity with face, voice and device checks, runs proctored exams, lists more ATS connectors, says Ivy interviews in 42 languages, and lists WCAG 2.1 AA. Tracy publishes no language count or bias audit, and accessibility is not stated.

*Tracy AI Interviewer shows tab changes, delays and other signals with the time each happened, so a reviewer can interpret them; nothing is decided in the interview. Illustration with sample data*

Tracy shows tab changes, gaze and other signals with their evidence, and leaves the decision to your team.

## HireVue: the enterprise suite with governance depth

HireVue's AI Interviewer runs a two-way conversation with probing follow-ups, in a suite that also sells one-way and live interviews, and it lists SOC 2 Type 2. It publishes no price. Pick HireVue when governance depth and one suite at enterprise scale matter more than a published price; see [Tracy vs HireVue](/compare/tracy-vs-hirevue).

## VidCruiter: live panels, scheduling and structured rubrics

VidCruiter covers pre-recorded and live interviews, scheduling, structured interviews and references, lists 75+ integrations including Workday and SAP SuccessFactors, and labels its AI Interviewer "COMING SOON". Pricing is custom by modules and hiring volume. Pick VidCruiter when you need live panels and scheduling from one vendor.

## Sapia.ai: text-chat interviews with a published bias audit

Sapia.ai interviews in an untimed text chat of five structured questions, ranks every candidate with a fit score, and says it is independently audited for bias, published openly. Pricing is per hire, and Sapia.ai says it serves companies that hire more than 500 people a year best. Pick it when text is the right format and you hire at that volume.

## Willo: recorded-question screening for a few roles

Willo is a recorded-question screening tool with ISO 27001, 18+ languages and 50+ native integrations. Lite is pay as you go at £49 per live role, with 150 assessed candidates per live role, and Enterprise starts at £2,999 a year. Pick Willo for low-cost screening across a few live roles.

## Hireflix: one-way video at a flat price

Hireflix is one-way video interviewing that transcribes answers automatically and connects to ATS tools, Zapier and Make. It costs $75 a month billed yearly for companies under 50 employees and $150 for 50 to 250, with unlimited seats, positions and responses. Pick it when recorded answers at a flat, low price are enough.

## Interviewer.AI: admissions and programme interviews

Interviewer.AI serves universities, bootcamps and training programmes, and offers a free 14-day trial. Essential is $199 a month for 50 credits and Professional is $399 a month for 120 credits. A conversational AI interview costs 2 credits and a one-way video 1, and adaptive follow-ups are listed under Professional. Pick it for admissions-style programmes.

## How to choose among Talview alternatives

1. **Start from the job Talview was doing.** If it was identity checks and proctoring, keep that layer and compare only the interview. If it was the interview, the shortlist above applies.
2. **Decide whether you need follow-ups.** For roles where a polished answer hides a shallow one, pick a two-way interview: Tracy, HireVue, or Interviewer.AI on Professional. For screening on fixed questions, Willo, Hireflix or Sapia.ai are enough.
3. **Settle price before features.** Tracy, Willo, Hireflix and Interviewer.AI publish a price. For Talview, HireVue, VidCruiter and Sapia.ai, ask for the unit, the minimum and the first-year total at your volume.
4. **Check the evidence.** Ask each vendor to open one completed result and get from the score to what the candidate said.
5. **Run one role.** Pick a role with at least 20 expected applicants and compare two options on it. To start with Tracy, send us the role and we build the interview plan.
