What are the key differences : Testlify vs Testgorilla

TestGorilla is a great assessment platform and a worthy competitor, but there are key differences that might be of concern for you when choosing a talent assessment platform.

Live coding

Software development is a complex field, and it is not easy to assess candidates’ programming skills simply through subjective information. TestGorilla and Testlify help you solve this challenge by offering you coding assessments.  But the thing is TestGorilla, as many competitors, do not give you control over what languages your candidates can answer questions.  And this is a problem.

Candidates will favor one language over another. And if you force them to code in a language they are not proficient in they will fail. And this will not give you an accurate perspective of their skills and potential.

In Testlify, you can give your candidates the option to solve coding questions in the language they are most proficient in, and that are relevant to your working environment. This provides you with a more accurate understanding of a candidate’s ability.  If you are a SaaS or software development company, this flexibility can help you find the most talented developers for your team.

custom questions 1

Customized questions

We know every customer has their own unique requirements. And despite our growing library of tests spanning many industries and roles, you may require additional tests to assess different skills. Testlify offers all customers, on all our plans access to custom questions. TestGorilla only offers this feature on their Scale Plan, of $325 per month.

If you identify questions you may need to add, simply request it via the dashboard and we will have your questions live within 3 business daysYou also have the option to create your own questions, and these questions can be formatted in a number of different ways including:

  • Open Ended Questions for essay questions
  • Video Response Questions
  • Multiple Choice with Single answer
  • Multiple Choice with Multiple Answers
  • Upload File Response

No matter the complexity of the position, you have the flexibility to test and evaluate candidates in a multitude of ways. And this will lead to better insights, and better candidate selection.

Integrations & API support

Making sure your workflow is streamlined to minimize duplicate tasks and data entry is key to maximizing your productivity.

TestGorilla offers integration with 13 ATS platforms while Testlify currently supports integration with 34 platforms and counting.

Be sure to check if your ATS is supported before committing to any solution.But perhaps you are not using an ATS and use Zapier to create custom integrations, then both platforms support this.

Pricing: Testlify vs Testgorilla

Okay let’s get to the most important question you want answered! Which platform offers you the best value for money?

Let’s first assess how TestGorilla prices its services first.

Testgorilla Pricing

To start off, they have four tiers to choose from:

PackageAssessments / yearAdditional AssessmentsCandidates / yearAdditional CandidatesPrice
Starter****Free
Pay-as-you-Go1$150 ea100$1.20 each$26 /mth
Scale15$120 ea1,500$0.90 each$325 /mth
Business125$95 ea12,500$0.70 each$2200 /mth
No Standard Candidate Comparison

Customized questions

Each of these tiers offer varying amounts of assessments to run and candidates you can test. If you need to run more assessments, you will have to pay to get more assessments, and pay to test more candidates. This means that above your baseline subscription, you don’t know how much you will actually end up paying. Every company has a budget to maintain, and anytime you have a variable or unpredictable expense it may have the potential of escalating way above your initial budget.

“Very expensive. Pricing isn’t transparent. The pay-as-you go plan is not pay as you go–it’s pay a year in advance whether you use it or not.” – G2 Review

But one important difference between Testlify and Testgorilla, Testgorilla does not make all their features available to all subscription tiers. That means you might have to purchase a higher tier simply to use a feature. In contrast Testlify offers you all our features on all our packages. We do not limit you, so even if you are on our Starter package you will still have access to all the features available on the higher Business plan. 

Testlify pricing

We have focused on maintaining a simple and transparent pricing structure to ensure our customers know what they will pay at all times, no surprises, no hidden costs. The biggest differentiating factor is that we offer you unlimited assessments on all packages. We only charge you for candidates above the specified threshold. Our plans start at $19, and you get all the features available on the top-tier plans.

PackageAssessments / yearAdditional AssessmentsCandidates / yearAdditional CandidatesPrice
StarterUnlimitedno cost100$3 each$19 /mth
BasicUnlimitedno cost300$2 each$39 /mth
ProfessionalUnlimitedno cost1000$1 each$99 /mth
BusinessUnlimitedno costUnlimitedno cost$199 /mth

And our pricing makes scaling your business and screening more candidates simple and affordable, and won’t leave you having to explain unexpected bills at the end of the month.

Potential Savings: If you are a small business needing to use assessments and only 5 assessments per year and 500 candidates.

Yearly cost comparison

Let’s take a small business that needs to run 5 Assessments for a year and needs to screen 500 candidates.Below we compare Testlify and TestGorilla and see what it would cost over a year.

Reasons to choose Testlify…

A superior candidate experience

At Testlify, we realize the importance of building a positive impression with your candidates. This is why we have built interactive tools that allow you to better communicate with candidates throughout the whole assessment process. It starts with sending invitations, including a public invite link that makes it easier for candidates to take tests with the least amount of effort.  In TestGorilla, you will not be able to send the results of assessments to candidates. Okay, so why would you want to send candidates the results? Applying for new positions isn’t easy, and it’s highly stressful for candidates. On top of that after they complete an application, they seldom, if ever hear back from recruiters. This is a huge pain point amongst job seekers and is why offering feedback to candidates is not only helpful but will leave a lasting impression on all candidates that apply to your company. Added to this our system makes sending out rejection notifications simple, easy, and automatic, which can further build trust and strengthen how candidates perceive your organization.
