Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. The largest vendors in video interview software
cannot hold places 1 to 3. Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category,

The 12 tools, reviewed
#1 Hireflix
One-way video interviews with flat pricing and unlimited seats · Spain · hireflix.com
One-way Flat price SOC 2
Hireflix sells one thing, the recorded one-way interview, and prices it by company size instead of by seat or interview. Both published plans include unlimited users, positions and responses, and the page states that all features come with every plan. Candidates need no app or registration.
- Pricing: Flat monthly. Published at $75 a month for companies under 50 employees and $150 for 50 to 250, billed yearly, with a custom tier above that. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Small teams screening in volume
- Strengths: Custom retakes and answer times; Bulk CSV invitations; Email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders.
Where it falls short
There is no live interview room, so panels still need a separate meeting tool. The vendor's pages state no data region, and the only automated feature described is transcription, with no scoring.
Wrong for
A company that wants live panel interviews, structured scoring guides or identity checks inside the same product.

#2 Willo
Asynchronous screening with questions, scoring and identity checks · United Kingdom · willo.video
One-way ISO 27001 ID checks
Willo gives a company two ways in. Lite charges £49 for each live role, up to five roles and five users, with 150 assessed candidates per role and no contract. Enterprise starts at £2,999 a year and adds scorecards, anti-cheat, an open API and 50+ ATS integrations.
- Pricing: Per role / year. Lite costs £49 per live role with no contract; Enterprise is quoted from £2,999 a year. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Teams with occasional or high volume
- Strengths: Video, audio, written and multiple-choice questions; Assessment library of 1,500+; Custom scorecards.
Where it falls short
Willo is built around asynchronous screening, so live panel interviews happen elsewhere.
Wrong for
A recruiter who needs live interview rooms in the same product, or an employer who wants a single flat fee for unlimited roles.

#3 Cammio
Pre-recorded and live video interviews hosted in EU data centers · Netherlands · cammio.com
One-way Live EU hosting
Cammio runs pre-recorded interviews and then lets recruiters hold live calls with shortlisted candidates inside the same platform. The pricing page states an entry price of EUR 620 a month that includes all video interviewing features, unlimited support and a dedicated client success manager.
- Pricing: Flat monthly. Starts from EUR 620 a month, with all video interviewing features, unlimited support and a client success manager named on the page. Free plan: none.
- Best for: European teams with data-location needs

Where it falls short
The entry price is higher than the published tiers of Hireflix or Hirevire, and the pages show no free trial. No security certification is named on the pages read, only the statement of EU data centers.
Wrong for
A small recruiter who hires a few people a year and cannot justify EUR 620 a month.

- Best for: Large employers with structured hiring
- Strengths: On-demand video interviews; Live video interviews; Interview Builder with 1,000+ guides.
Where it falls short
No price appears on the pages read, and the security page could not be opened, so certifications are unverified beyond a bare label of SOC, ISO and FedRamp.

#6 Hirevire
One-way interviews with AI scorecards and transcripts · India · hirevire.com
One-way AI scorecards Low price
Hirevire is the cheapest published entry in this list, at $39 a month billed yearly for one active job, one user and 300 interviews a year.

- Strengths: AI scorecards and transcripts; Transcripts in 90+ languages; Knockout filters before recording.
Where it falls short
Per-year interview caps can bite during a hiring wave. The product is one-way only, and there is no published ISO or SOC certificate on the pages read, only a trust center link and a privacy policy listing sub-processors.
Wrong for
A larger employer with a security questionnaire that requires named certificates, or one that runs live panels.

#7 VidCruiter
Structured video interviews and scheduling with chosen data residency · Canada · vidcruiter.com
Live One-way Data residency
VidCruiter treats the interview as a structured process instead of a recording. It offers pre-recorded and live video, scheduling, rating guides, and an AI suite for screening, interview notes and fraud detection. The security page lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, GDPR, and 256-bit FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.
- Pricing: Quote only. No figures on the pages read; the pricing page is a form that sends the quote. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Mid-to-large and public employers
- Strengths: Pre-recorded video interviews; Live video interviews; Interview scheduling.
Where it falls short
Everything is sold by quote, with no published floor, and the setup of structured interviews takes time. A small team will use a fraction of the modules. The privacy policy gives a head office in Moncton, New Brunswick.
Wrong for
A recruiter with a handful of hires who wants to start today at a posted price.

#8 Jobma
One-way and live interviews with built-in assessments · United States · jobma.com
One-way Live Assessments
Jobma's site lists one-way interviewing, live structured interviews for panels, role-based and game-based assessments, and connections to ATS, HRIS and calendars. The homepage states SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR and CCPA compliance, and alignment with the EU AI Act. The privacy policy says data sits on Google Cloud servers in Iowa, which at least names a location.
- Pricing: Quote only. Custom packages based on volume, integrations and features; no figures on the pricing page. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Mid-sized teams wanting assessments
- Strengths: One-way video interviews; Live structured interviews; Role-based assessments.

Wrong for
An EU employer that needs recordings stored in Europe by default.

- Pricing: Quote only. No prices on the pages read. Free plan: none.
- Best for: Education, healthcare and government hiring

#10 Interviewer.AI
AI-scored one-way interviews sold in monthly credits · Singapore · interviewer.ai
One-way AI scoring Credits
Interviewer.AI sells asynchronous video interviews with AI scoring in two published plans. Essential costs $199 a month for 50 interview credits, 20 minutes each, three job posts a month and 15 user licenses, and Professional costs $399 a month. The Essential plan lists AI response relevancy scoring, AI resume screening and human-in-the-loop review.
- Pricing: Credits / month. Essential is $199 a month and Professional $399 a month, with a 14-day free trial; annual billing is cheaper. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Teams that want AI pre-screening
- Strengths: Asynchronous video interviews; AI response relevancy scoring; AI resume screening.
Where it falls short
Credits limit volume per month, so a hiring wave means a higher tier or a quote. The AI score adds a decision aid that the employer must be able to explain to candidates and regulators.
Wrong for
A team that wants no automated scoring, or one that needs live interviews as well.

#11 Talview
AI interviewing and proctoring for assessments and hiring · United States · talview.com
AI interviewer Proctoring Live
Talview started from video interviewing. Its about page says two IIT Bombay classmates saw the value of video interviews in 2011, and the company became Talview Inc. in 2017. The product now includes Ivy, an AI interviewer for structured conversations, live interview rooms, and Alvy, an AI proctor with live and automated proctoring.
- Pricing: Quote only. Quote form that asks for candidates per year; no figures on the page. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Organizations that need proctoring too
- Strengths: Ivy AI interviewer; Live interview rooms; Alvy AI proctor.
Where it falls short
The privacy policy says biometrics and ID images may be collected, which raises the compliance work. Pricing is a quote form, and the pages read do not state a headquarters.
Wrong for
A recruiter who only needs simple recorded screening for a handful of roles.

#12 Vieple
Recorded and live interviews with bias-reduction options · Australia · vieple.com
One-way Live Bias reduction
Vieple Pty Ltd runs a recorded-interview product and a live product called ViepleNOW.

It says it embeds in any ATS.
- Pricing: Quote only. No prices on the pages read; the terms refer to a price list on the website. Free plan: free trial.
- Best for: Teams wanting audio-only review
- Strengths: Pre-recorded interviews; Live interviews (ViepleNOW); Knockout questions.
Where it falls short

Wrong for
A buyer who needs certifications and a hosting region confirmed in writing before a trial.

Questions and answers
What is the best video interview software in 2026?
Hireflix ranks first of 12, best for small teams screening in volume. Willo is second (teams with occasional or high volume) and Cammio third (european teams with data-location needs). Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands, wherever the category has them.
What is the difference between one-way and live video interviews?
In a one-way interview the candidate records answers to preset questions at any time, and reviewers watch later. In a live interview, people meet in real time. One-way suits first screens with many applicants. Live suits second rounds and panels.
How much does video interview software cost?
Published prices run from $39 a month (Hirevire Essentials, billed yearly) to $75 a month for Hireflix, $249 to $299 for Spark Hire video, EUR 620 for Cammio and £2,999 a year for Willo Enterprise.
Do candidates need to download an app to record an interview?
Several vendors say no. Hireflix states there is no app, login or registration, and HireVue says candidates can interview from any device without a download.
Can video interview software integrate with my applicant tracking system?
Most can. Willo lists 50+ native integrations, Cammio 20+ ATS systems, and Hireflix names Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, Teamtailor, Ashby and others, with a GraphQL API. Hirevire connects mostly through Zapier and Make.
Where are interview recordings stored, and does it matter in the EU?
It matters, because a recording is personal data. Cammio states EU data centers, VidCruiter lets a customer pick Canada, the USA, Europe, the UK or Australia, Talview describes region-specific hosting, and Jobma's privacy policy names Google Cloud in Iowa.
Is AI scoring of video interviews allowed, and should I use it?
Rules differ by country, and an employer remains responsible for decisions made with a tool's help. Interviewer.AI scores response relevancy, VidCruiter and HireVue describe AI features, and Willo and Hirevire say people make the final call.
How long should a one-way interview be?
Keep it to three to six questions that each map to a job requirement, with a short thinking time and one retake.
Can I switch vendors and keep my recordings and ratings?
Possibly, but check before signing. Hireflix lists video downloads and bulk CSV exports, and Willo lists a download-responses feature on Enterprise. Most other vendors state nothing public about exports or retention.
Do I need video interview software if I use Zoom or Teams?
A meeting tool handles live conversations but not the screening step. It cannot send a question set to 300 applicants, collect answers on their own time or give reviewers a shared rating screen.
Which video interview tool is best for a solo recruiter or small agency?
Hirevire's Essentials plan is $39 a month billed yearly for one job and 300 interviews, and its Agency plan covers five separate branded organizations. Hireflix suits a recruiter with many roles because seats and positions are unlimited.
