 "honest_knock": "The Assessments bill is set by credits, and the page does not say how many credits its 'from' prices include. Core starts from $77 a month billed annually or from $287 billed monthly; that gap is far wider than the 25% annual saving the page advertises, so the two floors are different allowances. An AI interview costs 2 credits a candidate and a skills test 1, so the real price depends on how you build each assessment and how many people you invite. Get the credit allowance in writing before you compare it with a per-seat tool.",

Gorilla Sourcing, a candidate-search product priced per Sourcing seat: Free $0 (browse and preview only, no invites); Core $74 a month per seat billed annually or $99 billed monthly, with 500 invites per seat a month and 1 seat; Plus $134 a month per seat billed annually or $179 billed monthly, with 1,500 invites per seat a month and up to 5 seats. Gorilla Assessments, the skills-testing product, priced per account: Free $0 with 10 credits a month (5 essential tests with unlimited use, 180+ tests with limited use, 5 preset custom questions, 1 premium user role); Core from $77 a month billed annually or from $287 billed monthly, with the full library of 350+ tests, a shared account-wide credit pool and 2 premium user roles; Plus from $520 a month billed annually or from $694 billed monthly, adding the AI interview library, custom AI interviews, job simulations, custom tests and coding challenges, ID verification, ATS and API integrations and unlimited premium roles. Annual billing is advertised as saving 25%. Credits: resume scoring and qualifying questions cost nothing; a premium skills test, a video question or an ID check costs 1 credit per candidate; an AI interview or a job simulation costs 2.
