Alex is a YC W24, $20M-funded enterprise recruiting suite (AI Interviews, Coordinator, Verify, Talent Match, Resume Screens) sold by demo with no public pricing. Evy is the opposite: anti-cheat-first AI interviews at a published $2 to $4 per interview, live in minutes.
Alex's Verify module ships real signals: AI-usage detection, tab changes, copy-paste, keyboard tapping during answers, and second-voice detection. Evy adds per-session calibrated eye tracking, screen and camera recording on every interview, full-page activity, and a lockdown browser. Anti-cheat is the spine of the interview, not a sub-product you opt into.
Evy publishes every tier on /pricing: $2 annual, $3 monthly, $4 pay-as-you-go. Alex requires a 30-minute demo to get a quote. With $17M in Series A capital and a five-module suite to sell, realistic enterprise contracts land well into five figures per year.
Sign up, paste a job description, share a link. Evy is live the same afternoon with no contract, no onboarding call, no minimum spend. Alex is a sales-led, 30+ ATS integration program designed for enterprise procurement, not Friday-afternoon hiring sprints.
How Evy and Alex (Apriora) stack up on the things buyers ask about.
The #1 thing Evy gets right and most AI interviewers get wrong: catching the candidates who run ChatGPT in another window. Here's the honest comparison.
Verify module: identity verification + explainable in-interview cheat signals
Alex's Verify is a real anti-cheat product and it is worth crediting honestly. It checks identity against resume and LinkedIn data, flags disposable emails and burner phones, looks for location inconsistencies, and surfaces explainable signals when it suspects external AI assistance: AI-usage detection, tab changes, copy-paste, keyboard tapping during answers, and second-voice detection. What it does not publish is per-session calibrated eye tracking, which is the step that makes off-screen glances at a second device meaningful rather than noisy. Verify is also one of five product modules (AI Interviews, Coordinator, Verify, Talent Match, Resume Screens), so anti-cheat is a feature you buy into rather than the spine of the interview itself. Two other public signals are worth weighing: Alex job postings explicitly target lower hallucination rates and sub-200ms latency (a tacit admission both have been real product issues), and a Glassdoor candidate review flags the lack of a typed-response option as an ADA concern. Evy makes the opposite trade: calibrated eye tracking, screen and camera recording on every interview, full-page activity, and a lockdown browser are the product, not an add-on.
An interview you can cheat on isn't a screen. It's a formality.
Alex doesn't publish a price on alex.com. Every quote runs through a 30-minute sales demo, and CEO Aaron Wang has said publicly that Alex reached seven-figure staffing revenue 'exclusively through founder-led sales,' deliberately ignoring corporate talent acquisition teams. With $20M in venture funding behind a five-module suite (AI Interviews, Coordinator, Verify, Talent Match, Resume Screens), realistic enterprise contracts land well into five figures per year, which is why the public customer list skews staffing firms (Kelly Services, Randstad, Cross-Country Healthcare, Mitchell Martin), Big 4 (EY), and large enterprises (Veeco, BWX Technologies, Mattress Firm). Ignore the $30/month 'Starter' listings on Capterra and Futurepedia. Those are SEO spam, not Alex's actual pricing.
Evy publishes pricing because we don't need a sales cycle to defend it. If you can spend ten minutes on a pricing page instead of thirty on a demo call, you're already moving faster than the candidates you're trying to hire.
Evy caught a candidate cheating that we 100% would have moved forward. That alone paid for the year.
Set up an interview in 4 minutes, had 12 candidates done by Monday. This is the future.
Reduced our cost-per-hire by ~40%. Hard to argue with the math.
