Ribbon AI locks teams into a $499/mo Growth tier or $999/mo Business tier, scores candidates at the summary level (not per question), and gates ATS sync plus the API behind Enterprise. Evy is built around the interview itself: calibrated eye tracking, screen and camera recording, full-page activity, and a lockdown browser at $2 to $4 per interview with no monthly fee on pay-as-you-go.
Ribbon's evaluation produces summary-level outputs (overall scores tied back to transcript moments) rather than per-question rationale. Evy scores every question against the rubric with the supporting evidence attached. That matters when you have to defend a hire-or-pass decision.
Ribbon's lowest tier is $499/mo (Growth, 2 seats, 2 roles, 200 included interviews) whether you run 5 interviews or 200, plus $3 per overage. Evy pay-as-you-go is $4 per interview with no monthly fee, dropping to $3 monthly or $2 annually if you scale.
Ribbon's ATS integrations and API are gated to Enterprise (custom-quote tier) only. Growth and Business teams get the interviewing surface without sync or programmatic access. Evy ships native Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday, Workable, and BambooHR plus CSV at every tier.
How Evy and Ribbon 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.
Integrity Monitor: ChatGPT-pattern detection + dynamic follow-ups
Ribbon's 'Integrity Monitor' is more specific than its marketing suggests, and worth crediting on what it actually does. It analyzes response patterns for structures that mimic AI-generated text (ChatGPT-style detection), uses dynamic follow-up questions to defeat scripted answers, and offers optional video capture for identity verification on the Business tier ($999/mo and up). What it does not include is calibrated eye tracking, tab-switch detection, or screen recording, and Ribbon does not publish what specific behaviors trigger an integrity flag. The evaluation side has its own constraint: Ribbon outputs summary-level scoring (overall ratings with transcript moments cited) rather than per-question rationale, which makes it harder to defend a hire-or-pass call to a hiring manager who asks 'why didn't this candidate clear question 4?' Underneath, Ribbon's stack is OpenAI-only as its single listed LLM sub-processor, which is a real single-vendor risk for buyers in regulated industries. For a team whose actual screening problem is candidates running ChatGPT in another window on a second monitor, ChatGPT-pattern detection alone is a starting point, not an answer.
An Integrity Monitor that watches one signal isn't a screen. Calibrated eye tracking on a recorded screen is evidence.
Ribbon publishes three tiers on ribbon.ai/pricing: Growth at $499/mo (2 seats, 2 roles, 200 included interviews, $3 overage), Business at $999/mo (5 seats, 5 roles, 500 included interviews, $3 overage, white-label, video for identity verification, 6 voice choices), and Enterprise on a custom quote (unlimited, custom voices, dedicated CSM and engineer). Two important catches: ATS sync and API access are gated to Enterprise only, which means Growth and Business teams use Ribbon as a standalone tool without pushing results back into Greenhouse, Workday, or Lever. And on Growth you pay the full $499 even if you only run 5 interviews that month, locked into a monthly subscription. Evy pay-as-you-go is $4 per interview with no monthly fee (a quiet month costs you nothing), $3 per interview on a monthly seat, and $2 per interview on an annual seat. ATS sync ships at every tier.
At low volumes, Ribbon's $499 monthly minimum is dead weight: you're paying for 200 interviews and running 50. At very high volumes, Ribbon's $3 overage rate is competitive with Evy's $3 monthly-seat rate, but you're still locked into the subscription, you still don't get ATS sync without an Enterprise upgrade, and you lose pay-per-use flexibility for the months your pipeline slows down. Evy charges only for the interviews you actually run and ships ATS sync at every tier.
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.
Talk to Evy yourself. No $499 monthly minimum, no Enterprise upgrade to get ATS sync, no sales cycle. Just an actual interview so you can see calibrated anti-cheat in action.
