Which competitors are one-way interview specialists, like Willo?
Three competitors do the same core job as Willo: Hirevire, Hireflix and Spark Hire. All three publish a price.
Hirevire
Hirevire collects recorded video, audio, screen recording, file and text answers. Candidates answer in the browser with no account or password. Every plan includes AI transcripts and scorecards.
The main difference from Willo is how you pay. Willo charges for each live role each month, and Hirevire charges by plan: $468 a year for 1 open job and 25 interviews a month, $1,188 for 5 jobs and 100 interviews a month, and $2,388 for 20 jobs and 1,000 interviews a month. Ashby, Tellent Recruitee, Manatal, Zapier, Make and Pabbly Connect work on every plan. There is a 7-day free trial with no credit card.

Hireflix
Hireflix does one thing: one-way video interviews. Candidates need no app and no registration.
It differs from Willo on limits. Every Hireflix plan has unlimited positions, users and responses, where Willo Lite stops at 5 live roles and 5 users. The price depends on company size: $900 a year under 50 employees and $1,800 a year for 50 to 250 employees. The first month is free.

Spark Hire
Spark Hire runs one-way and live video interviews in the same tool, and also sells an ATS, a behavioural assessment and reference checks.

It suits a team that wants the recorded screen and the live follow-up in one place. Compare Willo with Spark Hire.
Which competitors interview with AI?
Two competitors put an AI in the interview itself: Interviewer.AI and Jobma. Willo's AI works after the interview, by ranking and summarising candidates.
Interviewer.AI
Interviewer.AI runs one-way video interviews and scores each answer for how well it addresses the question. Its $399 plan adds a conversational AI avatar that asks follow-up questions.
You buy interview credits each month: $199 a month for 50 credits, 3 job posts and 15 users, with a 14-day trial. Compare Willo with Interviewer.AI.
Jobma
Jobma combines one-way video, live and panel interviews, an AI interviewer, interview scheduling and skill assessments. Candidates can answer in 16 languages.
It differs from Willo by adding skill tests and scheduling to the interview. Pricing is by quote. Compare Willo with Jobma.
Which competitors are enterprise hiring suites?
Three competitors sell to large employers and quote on request: VidCruiter, Radancy and HireVue. They compete with Willo's Enterprise plan more than with Lite.
VidCruiter
VidCruiter is built for structured hiring. Each question has a competency scorecard and a set rating scale, and scorecards export for audits. It is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Compare Willo with VidCruiter.
Radancy (formerly myInterview)
myInterview's website now sends visitors to Radancy's screening and scheduling product, which is sold as part of a larger hiring platform.
