Truffle is candidate screening software that combines resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments in one Position Link. TestGorilla's test library runs deep, but video sits on a higher tier and a full assessment can take a candidate 60 to 90 minutes to finish.
A true monthly plan. No annual contract required.
Resume. Interview. Assessment.

Published pricingCore plan, billed annually
TestGorilla's paid plans require an annual commitment. One-way video interviews are limited to the Plus plan.
TestGorilla's 381-test library is a real strength for building a custom skills battery, but you're picking and sequencing the modules yourself. Truffle ships Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments by default, next to resume screening and a one-way interview, all scored into one AI Match.
TestGorilla's Core and Plus plans both require paying for a year up front. Truffle's Starter plan is $49 a month, no annual commitment, with unlimited positions and unlimited team members. Starter is a hard cap with no overages, so a busy month never turns into a surprise bill, and on Core and up unused credits roll over.
TestGorilla's anti-cheating suite is built for a locked-down exam: webcam snapshots, full-screen enforcement, and location logging. Truffle's one-way interviews use AI Check to flag patterns that suggest AI assistance, shown as a context signal you can raise in a follow-up question, not a proctored test environment. Match scores trace back to the criteria you set, and AI Summaries cite specific responses.
Truffle's sweet spot
Owner-operators (a founder, COO, GM, or franchisee) at a small business, roughly 5 to 100 people, with no in-house recruiter, plus small owner-run staffing and recruiting agencies. You hire the same handful of roles over and over, 15 to 30 open at a time, year-round, on roles where a resume alone doesn't tell you who's real. Self-serve buyers who want resume screening, one-way video, and assessments in one workflow without an annual contract.
Where they may be stronger
TestGorilla is purpose-built around a deep, standardized test library, 381 tests across cognitive, programming, role-specific, language, and software skills categories, with a genuinely thorough anti-cheating suite: webcam snapshots, full-screen and tab monitoring, and IP logging. If your screening is mostly standardized skills and coding tests in a proctored setting, TestGorilla is a focused, well-built fit.
Data import
Point your next open role at a Truffle Position Link and let any TestGorilla assessment already in progress finish on its own. Most teams run both for two to three weeks before TestGorilla drops off entirely. CSV bulk invite covers any candidates worth re-inviting.
Timeline
Under 10 minutes from signup to a live Position Link, with AI Match and Candidate Shorts on by default. Most teams see a first ranked shortlist within 48 hours of going live.
No friction
No annual contract to sign. No setup fee. 7-day free trial, no credit card. Cancel any time.

Truffle starts at $49 per month, and Starter is a true monthly plan with no annual contract. TestGorilla's paid plans require an annual commitment: Core runs about $142 a month billed annually (around $1,704 a year), and Plus starts around $400 a month billed annually. Truffle also includes resume screening and one-way interviews from the entry plan, where TestGorilla keeps video on its Plus tier.
TestGorilla added one-way and conversational AI video interviews, but they sit on the Plus plan, not Core. Truffle includes one-way interviews on every plan, with full transcripts, AI Match scoring, and 30-second Candidate Shorts.
No, and that's a real trade-off worth naming. TestGorilla's library runs to 381 tests across cognitive, programming, role-specific, language, and software skills categories. Truffle includes three structured assessments, Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit, built into every Position Link rather than assembled from a library. If deep technical or coding skills testing is your priority, see how Truffle's assessments work and judge the fit for your roles.
TestGorilla runs a full proctoring suite: webcam snapshots, full-screen and tab-switch monitoring, disabled copy-paste, and location logging. Truffle's one-way interviews use AI Check to flag patterns that suggest a response may have been AI-assisted, shown as a context signal so you can ask a sharper follow-up question, not a locked-down exam environment.
TestGorilla's own guidance keeps individual tests to about 10 minutes each, with some coding tests running 30 minutes, and a combined assessment across several tests typically takes a candidate 60 to 90 minutes. Truffle's screening runs three fixed assessments alongside a short one-way interview, reviewed together in one AI Match score.
Truffle doesn't pull data directly out of TestGorilla. The cleanest migration is to point your next open role at a Truffle Position Link and let any TestGorilla assessment already in progress finish on its own. Most teams are fully on Truffle within two to three weeks. Native and Zapier integrations cover most ATS handoffs from there.
