TestGorilla alternatives, compared fairly.

TestGorilla is a skills-testing platform first, with a library of 350+ tests and a free plan for testing. Its AI video interviews, added in 2025, start on the Plus plan at about $400 a month. If interviews are what you need, rather than tests, you can get an AI interviewer for much less.
