No annual contract

On every paid plan

Every plan is month to month. Start a 7-day trial, pay nothing today, and cancel from your billing settings whenever you like. There is no minimum term, no notice period, and no contract to sign.

Not the category norm. Criteria requires a 12-month minimum, TestGorilla no longer sells monthly plans at all, and most enterprise vendors quote on two to three year terms. We would rather earn the next month.

How to choose a plan without overpaying

Pricing pages are usually optimised to push you up a tier. We've tried to do the opposite. The honest answer for most teams is: start on the smallest plan that fits the role volume you actually have this quarter, run two or three live openings on it, and only move up once a real constraint shows up. Buying more capacity on hope is one of the easier ways to waste budget on hiring software.

Start free before you start anything

The free plan is not a demo. It gives you 2 assessments with full reports, for up to 5 scored respondents a month, which is enough to try a real opening and decide whether the signal is worth anything to you. Most teams should do that first. The paid plans add capacity and the interpretation layer on top: team maps, role-fit scoring against a success profile, side-by-side comparison, and export.

Start with Starter if you hire in bursts

Starter is built for teams that fill openings in clusters: a few engineers in Q1, a sales role mid-year, an ops hire when something breaks. Fifty respondents a month is more than most teams at that rhythm use. You get the full assessment, the candidate dashboard, the success-profile editor, and the team map. What you don't get is role-fit scoring or candidate comparison across campaigns.

Move to Growth when comparison becomes the bottleneck

The signal that you've outgrown Starter is usually a hiring manager asking "how does this candidate compare to the last three we shortlisted?" Once cross-campaign comparison and scoring against a role profile matter, you save more time on Growth than the price difference. Growth is also where the branded PDF lives, which matters the moment a profile has to leave the app and go to someone who will never log in.

Pick Scale only when volume, not features, is the driver

Scale has the same feature set as Growth with the caps removed: unlimited respondents, unlimited seats, custom benchmarks. It is worth it at roughly 270 respondents a month, where the Growth allowance runs out. If you are not there yet, the honest answer is to stay on Growth and come back when a month actually runs short. Buying capacity on hope is one of the easier ways to waste budget on hiring software.

What the assessment fee really pays for

The per-assessment cost covers the questionnaire infrastructure, response-quality checks, scoring against role-specific success profiles, and the candidate report. It does not cover an interview. We say this because some buyers expect a hiring assessment to do the whole filtering job. It will not. It will give you a structured signal alongside your resume review and interview process. Used as one input among several, the evidence is reasonable. Used as the only input, you'll miss strong candidates and over-trust weak ones.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay monthly, or is it an annual contract? +

Monthly, and only monthly. Most pre-employment platforms require a 12-month commitment, and some have dropped monthly billing entirely. There is nothing to sign here and no minimum term.

Do you charge per candidate or per test? +

No packs of tests and no per-test fee. You get a monthly respondent allowance (50 on Starter, 200 on Growth, unlimited on Scale) and unlimited assessments to spend it across.

What happens after the 7-day trial? +

On day 8 your plan starts at its listed monthly price and continues month to month. Cancel before day 8 and you are never charged.

Do you need my card to start the trial? +

Yes. The card is saved when you start the trial so the plan can continue without interruption, but nothing is charged for 7 days and you can cancel from your billing settings at any point.

Can I invite real candidates during the trial? +

Yes, and you should. You get your full plan for the 7 days: real assessments, real invites, real reports. It is the only way to know whether the signal is useful for your roles.

What happens if I reach my monthly respondent limit? +

Nothing you have already sent stops working. Live assessment links keep serving, anyone already invited can still finish, and every answer is saved and scored. Reports beyond your monthly allowance simply wait, locked, until you upgrade, and upgrading unlocks all of them at once.

Is there a free plan? +

Yes. Free covers 2 assessments with full reports, for up to 5 scored respondents each month, on 2 seats, with the full Big Five personality and Strengths reports, free forever. You can create and share more than 2 assessments and they will keep collecting responses; their reports unlock on a paid plan.
