Why teams tell us they move from TestGorilla.

Truffle shortlist for a marketing manager role, with each resume rated High, Mid or Low and its strengths and gaps.

Resumes in, without asking candidates

Bulk-upload resumes or let job-board applications import themselves, and AI Match scores each one. TestGorilla scores the resume a candidate uploads inside the test.4

04 Where TestGorilla wins

When we'd tell you to stay on TestGorilla.

  • You test coding or technical skills5

    TestGorilla's library has 381 tests, 83 of them programming, with a coding editor on Core. Truffle's three assessments don't cover coding or cognitive ability.

  • You want to stay free1

    TestGorilla's Free plan never expires: 10 credits a month and five essential tests. Truffle's trial lasts 7 days.

  • Your candidates need the test in their language5

    TestGorilla runs the candidate side in 12 languages. Truffle's screen is in English, though answers can be in any language.

  • You want tests watched5

    Webcam snapshots, full-screen mode, tab tracking, and ID checks on Plus. Truffle doesn't proctor.

Questions

Got questions? Here are answers.

Is TestGorilla's free plan enough?

For a handful of candidates, it can be. Free gives one user 10 credits a month and five essential tests. Past that, Core is $287 a month on monthly billing, or $215 billed annually, for 2 users.

Does TestGorilla screen resumes?

Yes, for free, but the candidate uploads the resume inside the assessment. Truffle scores resumes you upload in bulk or that arrive from job boards, for 1 credit each.

Does the AI decide who moves forward?

No. It transcribes, summarizes and scores against your criteria, with the reasoning shown. It never auto-rejects anyone.

When am I charged a credit?

Only when a screening gives you a result: a resume scored, an assessment completed or an interview submitted. Candidates who don't finish cost nothing.

Try Truffle on your next role for free.

We built an entire hiring metaphor to avoid saying “wait, don’t go.” Which is ironic because Truffle helps you get to the point with your candidate pool.
