Video Interview Software: 10 Best Platforms Compared

Video Interview Software: 10 Best Platforms Compared

The best video interview software depends on which hiring stage you want to fix. Olibr suits recruiters in India who want a free ATS with AI screening interviews at ₹99 each. Hireflix is the simplest one-way tool at a flat monthly price. Willo suits high-volume screening with structured scorecards. Easyhire and Breezy HR let you start on a free plan. VidCruiter and Jobma are built for enterprise teams that hire 100 or more people a year.

If you run a recruitment desk, you know the problem. You get 150 CVs for a role, spend two days on screening calls, and half the candidates do not pick up. Candidates with a 60-day notice period take weeks to line up for a first round. Pre-recorded and AI interviews fix this because candidates answer on their own time. But the tools differ a lot: some are one-way only, some are live only, some score answers with AI, and some want a sales call before you can record a single answer.

This guide compares 10 platforms on what each does, who it suits and what it costs. After the list you get a side-by-side table, a worked cost example and a checklist for choosing. Olibr is our own product, so it comes first and we state its limits. Every other price comes from the vendor's published pricing and can change, so confirm it before you pay.

1. Olibr

What it does

Olibr runs AI video interviews inside a free ATS, so the scored transcript lands next to the candidate's pipeline stage instead of in a separate tool. Candidates complete an automated video interview, and your team reviews the transcript and score. The scoring includes expression analysis, so decide before you start whether your clients are comfortable with that.

Around the interview, you get:

• A full ATS with pipeline stages, a kanban board, notes and team roles
• AI matching that ranks candidates against a job description beyond keyword overlap
• Skill assessments that run on your own HackerRank, HackerEarth or CodeSignal account
• Sourcing tools built for India: a Chrome extension for Naukri Resdex and LinkedIn, and a Desktop Importer that reads a folder of CVs

Olibr puts the screening interview next to the pipeline where you already track the candidate.

Who it suits

Olibr is built for small and mid-sized agencies with 2 to 50 recruiters, and for in-house teams in India that source from Naukri, LinkedIn, Excel sheets and WhatsApp. Picture a Pune agency with 80 CVs for three backend roles. You import the CVs, let AI matching rank them, send the top 30 an automated interview, and call only the best 10.

There are two limits to know. Olibr is a screening tool, so keep Google Meet, Zoom or Teams for panel rounds. Access is also kept by contributing 50 candidate profiles per active user every 30 days. Contributing earns no credits, and your profiles stay private to your company for 30 days.

Pricing

The ATS is free, with no subscription, no credit card and no per-seat fee. AI is the part you pay for, per use, from a prepaid wallet that you top up.

• ATS, job posting, candidate database and skill assessments: free
• AI video interviews: the first 10 per company are free, then ₹99 each
• Wallet top-ups go through Razorpay and are non-refundable

2. Hireflix

What it does

Hireflix does one thing: one-way video interviews. You add video or text questions, set think time and answer time per question, and send a link by email or in bulk. Candidates open the link on any device with no app, login or registration.

Key features:

• Retakes, custom branding and your own domain on interview links
• Automatic transcriptions and a candidate tech-check page
• More than 20 candidate languages
• An open API and 12 native ATS integrations

Hireflix gives up live interviews and AI scoring in exchange for a tool that a recruiter learns in an afternoon.

Who it suits

Hireflix suits small and medium companies that want simple pre-recorded screening for a handful of roles. A 30-person IT services firm hiring support engineers can set up a five-question screen on Monday and review recordings on Tuesday.

It is not for you if you need live calls, scheduling, multiple question formats or AI scoring. It supports video questions only, has no built-in live interviews, and has no post-interview feedback option for candidates. Its native ATS list is also short, so check yours first.

Pricing

Hireflix offers a one-month free trial and three plans, with the prices below billed annually. All plans include unlimited users, unlimited active jobs and integrations.

• Small: $75 per month, for companies under 50 employees
• Medium: $150 per month, for 50 to 250 employees
• Custom: quoted for corporates and agencies

NGOs and startups under two years old get a 20% discount.

3. Willo

What it does

Willo is an asynchronous screening tool with more answer formats than most. Candidates can reply by video, audio, written text or multiple choice. It ships 1,500+ ready-made question templates, and it transcribes and summarises each answer. It also scores against custom scorecards you build for the role.

It also includes:

• Authenticity checks that flag scripted or AI-generated answers for a human to judge
• No automatic rejections, so your team makes every advance or decline call
• Integrations with Greenhouse, Workable and Lever, plus 5,000+ apps through Zapier
• A fully browser-based candidate experience

Willo's strength is not the recording but the shortlist evidence: summary, scorecard flags and the exact answer behind each one.

Who it suits

Willo suits teams screening high volumes, such as a staffing agency running 400 applicants for a seasonal role. It has no per-seat pricing, so you can add hiring managers without extra fees.

The main limit is that it is built for one-way interviews and has no built-in live interviewing. You will still need Meet or Zoom for the second round. Its scorecard approach also works best when you define the criteria properly before inviting anyone.

Pricing

Willo offers a 14-day free trial with full access and no credit card. After that it has two plans.

• Lite: $59 per live role, pay as you go
• Enterprise: from $3,799 per year, on a tailored quote
• Nonprofits: 50% discount on application

Because Lite is priced per role and not per candidate, one role with 200 applicants costs the same $59 as one with 20.

4. Easyhire

What it does

Easyhire covers both live and on-demand interviews, and it adds a live coding challenge with a code editor. It also offers AI analytics and interview scheduling. Candidates need no login to take an interview.

What stands out:

• A free plan that includes video interviewing
• Coding tests alongside soft-skill screening
• Live and recorded formats in one account
• Scheduling built in

Easyhire is one of the few low-priced tools where a developer can write code in the interview itself.

Who it suits

Easyhire suits technical recruiters and small businesses that need to assess code and communication together. An agency placing Java developers in Hyderabad can screen the same candidate on explanation and on a live exercise in one session.

Users report the interface can feel dated or clunky. The free and lower plans also keep candidate screening information for only two weeks, so you must decide on your shortlist inside that window. For heavier coding tests you may still want a dedicated assessment tool.

Pricing

The free plan includes 1 job post, 5 interviews a month and 2 team members. Paid plans start at $35 per month for more interviews and seats. The corporate membership goes up to $6,000 per year.

Pricing often varies per job or per seat on custom quotes, so ask exactly which unit you are billed on before you sign.

5. Breezy HR

What it does

Breezy HR is a full ATS with a video interviewing module attached. You get job distribution, pipeline management, team collaboration and video assessments in one product. It supports either job-specific applications or a general candidate pool that anyone can apply to.

Features worth noting:

• Resume parsing on the free plan
• Unlimited candidates, even when free
• A clean, modern interface
• Pipeline stages for the whole team

Breezy HR is the choice when you want an ATS first and video as an add-on, not the other way round.

Who it suits

Breezy HR suits companies that hire for one role at a time, because the free Bootstrap plan covers one active job or one candidate pool. A startup in Bengaluru hiring its first sales lead can run the whole process free.

Video is not the strongest part. Live video meeting features are often restricted to higher-tier plans, and reporting and analytics are limited on the free and cheaper tiers. If video screening is your main need, a dedicated tool will go deeper.

Pricing

The Bootstrap plan is free with no time limit. Paid plans start where the free tier ends.

• Startup: $157 per month billed annually, or $189 billed monthly
• Business: $439 per month billed annually

Compare the paid cost with what you would spend on a video-only tool plus a separate ATS before you decide.

6. Facecruit

What it does

Facecruit is a pre-recorded interviewing platform with built-in automated reference checks. You send recorded interview requests, add guest reviewers, brand the experience and let the tool chase referees for you. That reference automation is a real time saver late in the process.

Its main features:

• Pre-recorded interviews
• Automated reference checks
• Custom branding
• Guest reviewers

Facecruit is the only tool here where you buy interview minutes instead of renting a monthly plan.

Who it suits

Facecruit suits seasonal hirers and low-volume teams that do not want a subscription sitting idle. A small consultancy that hires in two bursts a year pays only when it interviews.

Minutes run out faster than you expect with long interviews, so keep each screen short and structured. Users also describe the website and interface as older and less polished than Breezy HR or Easyhire. Test it with a real role first.

Pricing

New users get a one-time credit of 25 interview minutes plus access to reference checking. After that you pay by usage or subscribe.

• Pay as you go: $50 for a block of 50 interview minutes
• Silver: about $33 per month for 200 minutes
• Gold: about $66 per month for 750 minutes, billed monthly

7. Jobma

What it does

Jobma is a multi-format platform. One account covers one-way and live video interviews, written and audio questions, and coding assessments. Its AI features include live AI interviews, resume relevancy scoring, transcription and proctoring that flags multiple faces, copy-paste and window switching.

Other points:

• Native two-way ATS integrations, plus Zapier to 5,000+ apps
• A mobile app and a scheduling extension
• Support by live chat, email and phone
• SOC 2 Type II certification and GDPR compliance

Jobma bundles interviews, assessments and proctoring into one subscription instead of selling them as separate modules.

Who it suits

Jobma suits mid-sized and enterprise teams that hire across languages and need one vendor for interviews and technical screening. A global capability centre that screens developers and support staff can run both on the same platform.

Its coding assessment library is not as deep as dedicated tools such as HackerEarth or Qualified.io. There is no free plan either, so you cannot test it casually. If you are a five-person agency, this is more platform than you need.

Pricing

Pricing is annual and not published. Everything is included in a single subscription: AI tools, assessments, proctoring, live and asynchronous interviews and integrations. Jobma tailors packages to company size, volume, ATS needs and support.

A free trial is available only after a demo. Ask for the trial terms in writing before you agree to the demo.

8. VidCruiter

What it does

VidCruiter is a modular interview management system. It handles live and pre-recorded interviews, and it adds AI-generated questions and rating guides. It also adds AI scoring for pre-recorded answers, with reasoning shown. Recruiters can edit or switch off anything the AI proposes.

Further capabilities:

• AI notes and transcripts inside Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls
• Deepfake detection and a setting that ends a response if the candidate leaves the screen
• Smart Scheduling with candidate self-booking
• Native integrations with Workday, SAP, ADP, Oracle, UKG and Dayforce

VidCruiter is a heavy, configurable system, and its own strengths are the reason setup takes real effort.

Who it suits

VidCruiter suits medium and large employers hiring at least 100 people a year, including government bodies. High volume plus a need for structured, auditable interviews is the sweet spot.

Smaller teams will find it excessive. Implementation can take a while, and AI scoring covers recorded interviews only, not live ones. It supports eight languages natively, with more on request, and holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Pricing

Pricing is not published and there is no free trial or free plan. Reported entry pricing is around $5,000 per year, and it rises with hiring volume. You buy only the modules you need and can connect it to your existing ATS.

Because quotes vary, get two or three before judging whether it fits your budget.

9. Spark Hire

What it does

Spark Hire offers live interviews through Spark Hire Meet and one-way interviews, with no limit on how many you run on any plan. For one-way screens you set time limits, control retakes and restrict answer length. You can rate, comment and send rejection emails from the same screen.

Team features include:

• Sharing interviews with unlimited hiring managers, with anonymised candidates
• Login-free feedback from stakeholders
• Auto-sent invites and reminders when a candidate reaches an interview stage
• AI proctoring that flags scripted or AI-generated one-way answers for review

Spark Hire's collaboration tools are its edge: hiring managers can score a candidate without ever creating an account.

Who it suits

Spark Hire suits SMBs and staffing firms with remote or international roles and several hiring managers who need to weigh in. An agency sending shortlists to client managers in different time zones will use the share links daily.

Watch the limits. Support is English only, standard plans cap you at 5 users and 5 concurrent jobs, and a weekly cap on self-scheduling invites can throttle bulk hiring. The AI flags are a triage signal to review, not proof of cheating.

Pricing

Spark Hire Meet starts at $299 per month, and there is no free trial. Storage is limited per plan, and going over triggers an automatic $15 charge for each extra 5GB per month.

Expect to pay more as your team and active jobs grow, so price it for the headcount you will have next year.

10. Criteria

What it does

Criteria pairs asynchronous video interviews with its own pre-employment assessments. Each role gets structured interview templates with a rating guide, and candidates record answers in their own time. Its AI scoring reads only the transcript, not tone, accent or facial expression, and it was trained on more than 5,000 hand-scored interviews.

You also get:

• Role-based assessment batteries recommended by job title
• Optional AI-powered video scoring and proctoring
• Integrations with 60+ ATS platforms and open API access
• A mobile-friendly candidate flow

Criteria is the cautious AI option: it scores what candidates say, not how they look or sound.

Who it suits

Criteria suits teams that want structured, validated hiring and need to explain how a score was reached. A large employer screening graduates can combine a cognitive test and a recorded interview in one flow.

It has no live interviewing, and its better AI features are paid add-ons. The time commitment from candidates may not suit every role or high applicant volume. Small, low-volume teams will find the depth exceeds what they need.

Pricing

Pricing is not public, so you need a sales conversation to get a quote. Add-ons such as Interview Intelligence and proctoring raise the total cost.

When you request a quote, ask for the base price and the add-on prices separately, then compare the full bundle.

Video interview software compared side by side

Hireflix, Willo and Olibr are the cheapest ways to start screening with video, while VidCruiter, Jobma and Criteria need a sales call. The right pick still depends on cost per candidate, not the headline price.

Format, free option and price at a glance

Tool	Format	Free option	Starting price
Olibr	AI video interviews inside an ATS	ATS free, 10 AI interviews free	₹99 per AI interview after 10
Hireflix	One-way	1-month trial	$75 per month
Willo	One-way, multi-format	14-day trial	$59 per live role
Easyhire	Live, on-demand, coding	Free plan, 5 interviews a month	$35 per month
Breezy HR	ATS with video module	Free Bootstrap plan	$157 per month, annual
Facecruit	Pre-recorded, reference checks	25 free minutes	$50 per 50 minutes
Jobma	One-way, live, AI, assessments	Trial after demo	Custom, annual
VidCruiter	Live, pre-recorded, AI	None	Quote, reported from about $5,000 a year
Spark Hire	Live and one-way	None	$299 per month
Criteria	Async plus assessments	Not published	Quote

What screening 200 candidates costs

A worked example shows why per-interview and flat pricing behave differently. Say you screen 200 candidates for one role.

• Olibr: the first 10 interviews are free, so 190 × ₹99 = ₹18,810
• Willo Lite: $59 for the live role, under $0.30 per candidate
• Hireflix Medium: $150 for the month, and about $0.75 per candidate at 200

The pattern is simple. Pay-per-use suits occasional hiring, a per-role plan suits one big campaign, and a flat monthly plan wins once you screen hundreds of candidates every month. To compare fairly, convert the dollar price to rupees at today's rate and divide it by the candidates you screen in a month. For example, a $150 plan that handles 300 candidates a month costs $0.50 each.

Divide the price by candidates screened per month, and the cheapest tool is often not the one with the lowest headline price.

How to choose video interview software

Choose the interview format first, then the cost model, then the integrations. Most regrets come from buying a live tool for a screening problem or an enterprise suite for a five-recruiter desk.

Pick the format first

One-way (pre-recorded) interviews suit first-round screening. Candidates record answers to fixed questions, and you review them whenever you want, which removes scheduling. Live interviews suit later rounds, where you want a real conversation with a shortlist. AI video interviews add automated questions and scoring on top, which helps at volume but needs a human check.

Most teams need one-way or AI screening plus a free live tool they already use. Paying for a full live suite makes sense only when you need recording, scoring and panel features in one place. HireVue and VidCruiter sit at the enterprise end and are quote-based.

Checks to run before you pay

Run these checks on any shortlist, and ideally pilot one real role:

• Does it connect to your ATS, or does it include one?
• Can candidates answer from a phone without installing an app?
• How long are recordings stored, and can you keep the shortlist long enough?
• Is pricing per interview, per role, per user or flat?
• Does AI scoring use the transcript only, or also expression and voice?
• Who sees candidate videos, and where is the data held?

The scoring question matters more than it looks. Criteria scores the transcript only, while Olibr's AI interviews include expression analysis. Pick the approach you can defend to a client.

Keep a human in the decision

AI should rank and summarise, not reject. Willo makes this explicit by never auto-rejecting, and Spark Hire presents its AI flags for your review. Treat any automated score as a sorting aid, then read the transcript of anyone close to the cut-off.

For the candidate experience, keep screens short, around 15 to 20 minutes in total, allow retakes and give two or three days to respond. Candidates working a notice period or answering on mobile data will thank you.

A video screen should save your time without costing a good candidate their chance.

Which video interview software to try first

Pick by the problem you have. Hireflix for simple one-way screening, Willo for volume with scorecards, Easyhire or Breezy HR to start free, Jobma, VidCruiter or Criteria for enterprise needs. If you are a recruiter in India who wants the ATS and the screening in one place, Olibr covers that, with the ATS free and AI interviews at ₹99 each after the first 10.

Whatever you choose, pilot it on one live role before you roll it out. Measure how many candidates complete the interview and how many hours it saves on your next shortlist.

To test it on your own roles, sign up for a free Olibr recruiter account and run your first 10 AI video interviews.
