TestGorilla Alternatives for AI Interviews (Nov 2026)

In short

Tracy AI Interviewer is the first to try when the first round must show how someone reasons in their own field: follow-ups in a two-way video interview, a coding task inside it, and a recording and transcript behind every result. She costs $1 per credit, with the first 3 results free.

HackerRank or CodeSignal fit coding in an IDE. TestGorilla fits validated skills tests. HeyMilo and HireVue need a quote, and Spark Hire fits recorded video from $249 a month.

Next step: create one interview for the workflow your current tool misses.

We make Tracy AI Interviewer.

TestGorilla is built around a library of skills tests, and its AI interview is one tool in an assessment. When the first round has to show depth in a technical or expert role, Tracy AI Interviewer is the first tool to try. Where another tool is the better pick, we say so.

Why do teams look for TestGorilla alternatives?

The full library of 100+ AI interviews and custom interviews are Plus features, from $520 a month per account billed annually, and the page does not state how many credits Core or Plus include. ATS connectors and API access are Plus only. The interview is 3 to 9 structured questions with follow-ups. Coding challenges are listed as separate tests; coding inside the AI interview is not stated. Tracy shows her price on the pricing page: $1 per credit.

Tracy AI Interviewer: follow-ups in the person's field

Tracy interviews every applicant by two-way video. She reads the CV when the CV check is on, asks in the person's own field, follows up on what they said and waits for the answer. Behind every result sit a recording of both sides, a timestamped transcript, a written assessment per question and integrity signals for a human reviewer. A coding task can sit inside the interview for technical roles (see technical interviews).

Every applicant starts on click, at any hour. She connects through API and MCP, Slack, WhatsApp and Zapier. The price is $1 per credit, the first 3 results free, no seats. A Director at a top-tier early-stage VC said of her: "Tracy sometimes brings up exactly those questions I might have forgotten to ask, which has been a pleasant surprise."

Where she falls short of TestGorilla: she is an interviewer built around the conversation, so keep a test library if tests are part of your screen, and she publishes no bias audit.

Each follow-up comes from the candidate's answer, so a reviewer sees reasoning rather than a preset list.

HackerRank: an agentic interviewer for engineering teams

HackerRank's AI interviewer, Chakra, opens a canvas with a real-world problem and evaluates judgment, critical thinking and AI fluency. It is included on every plan. Starter is $79 a month ($948 billed annually) for 60 candidate attempts a year, about $16 each; Pro is $419 a month ($5,028 annually) for 360 attempts, about $14 each; extra attempts are $20. It offers a free trial. Pick it for software engineering interviews inside a development environment.

CodeSignal: validated assessments and AI interviewers by role family

CodeSignal's Hire plans are credit based. Build is $79 a month billed annually for 60 credits (about $16 each); Grow is $479 a month billed annually for 420 credits (about $14 each); Pro is custom. A credit is used when a candidate starts an assessment, an AI interview or a live interview, and extra credits are $20. Its AI interview is typically 15 minutes, probes thin answers and ends in a report with an overall score. Its assessments are validated by I/O psychologists, a stronger validation story than Tracy publishes. Pick it for validated assessments and AI interviewers across engineering and business roles.

HeyMilo: voice, video and text screening, priced by demo

HeyMilo screens by phone, video, SMS and web form, in 20+ languages, with 20+ ATS partners. Its AI asks follow-ups in real time and its reports carry timestamped candidate quotes. Its pricing page sends you to a demo form, and a coding interview is not stated on its product pages. Pick it for multilingual, high-volume screening by phone or SMS. See Tracy vs HeyMilo.

HireVue: the enterprise suite with governance documents

HireVue offers on-demand and live video interviews, AI evaluation with an explanation, annual independent audits and adverse impact testing before models go live. Its pricing page lists no plan or price. Pick it when governance documents are a procurement requirement and you accept a quote. See Tracy vs HireVue.

Spark Hire: recorded and live video at a published price

Spark Hire starts from $249 a month billed annually, with unlimited live and one-way video interviews and users. It lists 40+ ATS integrations, transcription in 50+ languages and SOC 2 Type II, and people decide. AI follow-up questions are not stated. Pick it when a lean team wants to replace phone screens with recorded video and review the answers itself.

How do you choose a TestGorilla alternative?

1. Tests or conversations? If scored skills tests across many roles are the point, stay with TestGorilla or look at CodeSignal. If the first round has to show how someone reasons, you need a tool that asks the second question: Tracy, HackerRank for engineering, or HireVue at a quote. See one-way vs two-way video interviews.
2. How will you pay? A yearly plan favours steady volume. A per-result price favours uneven volume and a trial on one role. See AI interview cost.
3. What must it connect to? Name your ATS and ask which plan includes the connector. Tracy connects through API and MCP and works beside Workable and Breezy HR; Connect lists the rest.

Send us the interview your current tool handles worst and we will draft it in Tracy. Free starts: TestGorilla's free plan has 10 credits a month and limited access to AI interviews at 2 credits each, Tracy's first 3 results are free, and HackerRank offers a free trial.

• Technical interviews: role-specific interviews with follow-ups.
• Volume hiring: in-house teams, staffing firms and graduate programmes.
• Tracy's pricing: Pay as you go and Enterprise to your volume.
