Testlify offers things we do not, including AI interviews and paid proctoring options. If you need those, it may suit you better. If you want a straightforward test library with no subscription, Test Candidates may suit you better.

Testlify is a trade mark of its owner. Test Candidates is not connected with Testlify. Every Testlify fact above comes from its own website on the date shown, and terms can change, so check its site before you decide. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

CHOOSING AND USING YOUR ASSESSMENT

Choosing between Testlify and Test Candidates

Which suits which kind of team, and what to ask any testing provider.

When Testlify may suit you better

If you want AI interviews or other features beyond a test library, or you test large numbers of candidates every month and a subscription works out cheaper, Testlify may be the better fit.

When Test Candidates may suit you better

If you hire now and then, do not want a subscription, want integrations without moving to a higher plan, or need tests in your candidates’ own language, Test Candidates may be the better fit.

Questions to ask any testing provider

Is there a minimum term, and is it billed in advance? Do unused credits expire? Which plan includes integrations and the API? Are the tests themselves translated, or only the screens around them? The answers often matter more than the headline price.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Explore the sample report concept or see current candidate pricing.

Is Test Candidates cheaper than Testlify?

It depends on how many candidates you test. With no subscription, you pay only for the results you unlock, which often suits teams that hire now and then. If you test large numbers of candidates every month, a subscription can work out cheaper per candidate. Check our pricing page to compare.

Can I try Test Candidates alongside Testlify?

Yes. Create an account, build an assessment from our library and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free, with no card needed, so you can compare the two with real candidates.

When was this page checked?

We checked every Testlify fact on this page against Testlify’s own website on 8 October 2026, and we link to each source. We review the page by 8 January 2027. Terms change, so check their site before you decide.

Should a test score decide who I hire?

No. Use job-relevant tests consistently, then consider results alongside interviews, work samples and relevant experience. Agree your criteria before reviewing candidates.
