Spark Hire is a solid platform, but it's grown into a sprawling suite with ATS, assessments, and video—and pricing to match ($299/month to start). Truffle is focused: we do one-way video interviews with AI-powered insights built in, at a third of the price. You get candidate ranking, 30-second highlight reels, and match scoring on every plan. With Spark Hire, AI features are add-ons or only available on higher tiers.

Spark Hire's entry plan (Meet Pro) is $299/month. Their Growth plan with assessments is $499/month. Truffle starts at $99/month with AI insights included. For a team that just needs video interviews with smart analysis, you'll save $2,400/year or more with Truffle—while getting features Spark Hire doesn't offer at any price (like Candidate Shorts).

Yes—and they're included, not add-ons. Every Truffle plan includes AI candidate summaries, match scoring against job requirements, per-question scoring rubrics, and AI detection signals. Spark Hire added AI features after acquiring companies in 2023, but many require higher-tier plans or extra cost. Truffle was built for AI from day one.

Candidate Shorts are 30-second highlight reels that automatically extract the 3 most important moments from each video interview. Instead of watching a 10-minute Spark Hire recording start to finish, you see the signal immediately. Spark Hire doesn't offer anything like this—you watch full videos or rely on transcripts.

There's no direct import, but recreating your interview is quick. Paste your job description into Truffle and we'll suggest questions and generate scoring rubrics automatically. Most teams have their first interview ready in under 10 minutes.

Spark Hire is known for being user-friendly, but it's grown complex with ATS, assessments, reference checks, and more. Truffle is deliberately focused: video interviews with AI analysis. Less to learn, faster to set up, easier for hiring managers to adopt. If you want a full hiring suite, Spark Hire might be right. If you want video screening that actually tells you something, Truffle is simpler and smarter.

Yes. Truffle integrates with major ATS platforms and offers Zapier connectivity for custom workflows. Like Spark Hire, we're designed to work alongside your existing systems—we push candidate insights back so your ATS stays the source of truth.

Spark Hire acquired companies (Comeet for ATS, Chally for assessments) to offer a broader suite. If you need all-in-one hiring software with behavioral assessments and reference checks, Spark Hire might fit. But if you're paying for features you don't use, Truffle gives you best-in-class video screening at a fraction of the cost—and you can pair it with specialized tools for other needs.
