Buyer's guide

TestGorilla Alternatives

Most searches for TestGorilla alternatives start on TestGorilla's own pricing page. Core and Plus are billed annually, building a test from your own questions and connecting an ATS both need Plus, and its Trust Layer says it relies on ID checks and activity signals rather than webcams. None of that takes away from what made it popular: 350+ skills tests, a free plan and a clean candidate experience. If one of those limits is the problem, here is what else is out there.

What is in this guide

TunnelQuiz wrote this guide and is one of the options in it. We read every vendor's own pricing, feature and help pages on 9 and 10 October 2026 and left out anything we could only find on third-party sites. Where a vendor doesn't publish a price, we say so instead of guessing.

Quick Comparison

Starting prices are the entry figures each vendor publishes, in US dollars unless noted. "Quote only" means the vendor lists no price.

How We Compared Them

We looked at what each tool shows you about a candidate during the test, how you can start without paying, what the first paid plan costs and how it is billed, and who the product is plainly built for. We didn't score anything listed as coming soon, and we didn't use review-site ratings, which we couldn't check against the vendors.

TunnelQuiz

TunnelQuiz is an AI-powered assessment platform for hiring, training and secure online exams. Its proctored tests take multiple-choice, written and coding questions. It has no test library. You write the questions, import them from a CSV, or generate them with AI on Pro. Where it differs from TestGorilla is the session: every plan captures the candidate's whole screen every minute, logs each tab switch with time away and detects a second display, and Essential adds webcam snapshots, flags for AI-assistant browser extensions and a live view of the sitting. Essential is $34 a month billed yearly for 150 credits a month, and you can also pay monthly. In India the same plan is ₹1,319 a month billed yearly, plus 18% GST.

Where it falls short of TestGorilla: no ready-made tests, no personality or cognitive tests, no video questions, no ATS integrations or public API, and no ID document check. Candidates need Chrome or Edge to take a proctored test. If the library is why you chose TestGorilla, TunnelQuiz won't replace it.

Testlify

Testlify is the closest match in shape: a library of 3,500+ tests, AI interviews, and a long list of proctoring checks on its Standard plan, including snapshots, session recording, face and talking detection and AI-assistance detection. Standard is $139 a month billed yearly ($1,668) for 100 credits a year, and visitors from India are shown $89 a month ($1,068 a year). There is a 7-day trial with no card.

Watch the credits and the add-ons. One credit is one started assessment, unused credits expire at the end of the cycle, and extra credits are $21 each. Greenhouse is free, but the wider set of 100+ ATS integrations is priced at $2,388 a year on Standard, as is white-labeling. Live video proctoring with screen recording costs $5 an attempt.

Adaface

Adaface runs 40-minute tests in a chat-style interface, from a library of 500+ tests covering programming in 35+ languages, aptitude, personality, typing and languages. Plans are annual credit packs: $180 for 12 credits, $500 for 50, $900 for 100 and up to $50,000 for unlimited, with a 14-day trial. Its proctoring takes webcam images, a screenshot when the candidate leaves the window, and logs tab switches, full-screen exits and IP addresses.

Two things to plan for. A library test costs 5 credits to set up and a custom test 10, on top of 1 credit per candidate, and Adaface says credits expire a year after purchase. It suits teams who liked TestGorilla's library and want something shorter and more conversational.

iMocha

iMocha has a library of 10,000+ assessments, coding simulations that run code, and proctoring that can record video, lock the browser and verify identity. It has also moved well beyond hiring tests and now describes itself as a skills and work intelligence platform, with connectors for Workday and SAP SuccessFactors.

That shift shows in how it sells. Its pricing page is a demo request with no plans or prices. It is worth a call if you are a large company that wants hiring tests and workforce skills data in one place. A small team that only needs a screening test will find it heavy.

Vervoe

Vervoe tests candidates on realistic work: support tickets, spreadsheets, code tasks and video answers, from a library of 300+ assessments. Its machine-learning grading learns from how your team scores answers and ranks candidates for you. In October 2025 it added full-screen mode and camera snapshots to its tab-switch detection and identity checks.

Pricing is by request, and the pricing page is written for enterprise buyers, with SSO, regional data storage and uptime SLAs. If TestGorilla's multiple-choice tests felt too abstract for a role, Vervoe's simulations are the most realistic option here.

Xobin

Xobin is a broad talent suite: 3,400+ skill assessments, coding tests that run code in 50+ languages, video assessments, AI proctoring with a lockdown browser, and its own ATS. The 14-day trial gives full access to the plan you pick, with no card.

Its pricing page lets you choose modules and a region, then asks you to book a demo. There are no published prices. It fits teams who want to replace several hiring tools with one vendor, and it is more than you need for a single screening test.

Mercer | Mettl

Mercer | Mettl sits at the other end of the scale from TestGorilla. It sells psychometric and coding assessments to large employers, universities and exam bodies, and has the deepest proctoring on this list: AI flags, live human proctors or record-and-review, a phone as a second camera, photo ID checks and its own secure browser.

Pricing is a customised quote. It is the right choice when the exam is high stakes and the buyer has a procurement process. It is not the quick, self-serve swap most people leaving TestGorilla are looking for.

Which One Should You Choose?

Start from the reason you're leaving:

  • You want a library at least as big, and ATS integrations: Testlify
  • You want shorter, friendlier tests from a library: Adaface
  • You want realistic work samples: Vervoe
  • You write your own questions and need to see how the test was taken, billed monthly: TunnelQuiz
  • You need human proctors or a locked-down browser for high-stakes tests: Mercer | Mettl
  • You are a large company building a skills program: iMocha
  • You want tests, interviews and an ATS from one vendor: Xobin

If you are leaving over billing, read the renewal terms of the replacement as closely as its feature list. Annual-only plans and credits that expire are common across this list.

Questions, answered

Its own pages disagree. The plan comparison on TestGorilla's pricing page lists webcam snapshots under behavior monitoring. Its Trust Layer page, which describes the anti-cheating bundle on every plan, says it relies on ID checks and activity signals rather than webcams, and that behavior monitoring doesn't record video. If camera evidence matters to you, check with TestGorilla before you commit.

If the gap is evidence, TunnelQuiz captures the candidate's whole screen on every plan and adds webcam snapshots and live monitoring from Essential. You can try it on the free plan with 50 credits a month.
