Flowmingo vs HackerEarth OnScreen

The short answer

HackerEarth now presents its AI Interview Agent as OnScreen. The current product combines an AI conversation with technical exercises and identity verification. FaceCode is a separate live-interview product and should not be substituted for the autonomous OnScreen workflow^[1,3].

Flowmingo combines AI interview evidence with an included hiring workflow. Applicants answer spoken questions and follow-ups on video, and recruiters review the recording, transcript and written scoring reasons. Technical Tests support executable coding questions, so the comparison is about how the assessment is delivered and reviewed.

3 more differences worth knowing

• Use the current OnScreen offer

  HackerEarth’s current page lists Growth from $129/month and Scale from $499/month. Older Interview Agent pricing can describe a different offer. Confirm the current package and included interviews before budgeting^[1].

• Identity checks affect the candidate journey

  OnScreen advertises government-ID verification, face matching and continued identity checks. Decide whether those controls fit the role and candidate population, and explain the required steps before inviting applicants^[1].

Pricing: what each one costs you

The current OnScreen tiers meter interviews taken.

On 4 October 2026, HackerEarth’s current OnScreen page listed Growth from $129/month for 10 interviews and Scale from $499/month for 50 interviews, with custom enterprise pricing. The page distinguishes interviews taken from invitations sent. The dollar amounts below retain the currency notation shown by the vendor^[1].

What	HackerEarth
Growth	From $129/month; 10 interviews per month[1]	Free US$0; Starter US$49/month; Growth US$99/month; AI interviews stay unlimited
Scale	From $499/month; 50 interviews per month[1]	Ongoing Free plan with unlimited AI interviews, hiring projects and team members
Enterprise	Custom pricing[1]	Confirm any requirements beyond the published plans
Billing unit	Interviews taken rather than invitations sent[1]	AI interviews do not consume a volume allowance
Seats	Confirm reviewer seats and permission limits in the quote[1]	Unlimited team members; Owner, Admin and Member roles
Evaluation offer	Confirm current pilot or trial terms; no allowance inferred[1]	Ongoing Free plan with no trial deadline
Annual commitment	No annual equivalent used in this comparison[1]	Compare paid billing terms separately from the Free interview allowance

The word “from” matters. It identifies the entry rate shown on the product page, not a guarantee that every integration, identity check or enterprise requirement is included. Ask for the exact role coverage, interview duration, overage rate and verification charges that apply to your hiring program. Do not turn a headline package into an all-inclusive per-candidate claim^[1].

A ten-interview allowance can be useful for a small evaluation, but production planning should use the number of applicants who will actually take the interview. Include seasonal peaks and repeated assessments in the commercial discussion. Request clear treatment of technical interruptions and retries, because those events can affect both candidate experience and the eventual invoice.

Flowmingo keeps the interview allowance unlimited on every plan. Its paid upgrades concern other parts of the workflow, including branded sharing, downloads and recording retention. Free retains the latest 300 interview videos for 30 days while scores and transcripts remain available. That rolling video window is a storage condition, not a cap of 300 interviews.

Flowmingo's plans: Free is $0 with unlimited AI interviews. Starter ($49 a month) and Growth ($99 a month) add your brand on what you share, downloads, longer assessments and longer-kept interview videos. See pricing.

The AI interview: technical work inside the conversation

OnScreen describes adaptive voice or video interviews with coding, debugging and system-design tasks. It also advertises configuration for nontechnical roles. FaceCode’s AI chat assistant belongs to the human-led interview product; it should not be mistaken for the OnScreen interviewer^[1,2,3].

What	HackerEarth
Interviewer	Autonomous conversational AI with voice/video avatars[1]	Spoken AI questions and follow-ups; applicants record video answers in their own time
Role configuration	Questions and rubric configured from the role[1]	Generate 1-30 questions from the job description, then edit questions and evaluation criteria
Coding environment	Live coding environment within the technical workflow[1]	Technical Tests with executable coding questions and sandbox verification, alongside AI interviews
Reasoning	System design and debugging tasks advertised[1]	Ask role-specific follow-ups; assess code separately where needed
Specialized roles	Examples include embedded, RTL, full-stack and AI engineering[1]	Configure the interview and Technical Test for the role
Nontechnical hiring	Sales, support and other role configurations advertised[1]	Behavioral, situational and experience questions tailored to the job
Human-led alternative	FaceCode is a distinct live-interview product[3]	Interview Companion supports recruiter-led browser calls; confirm installation and availability for your team

Ask the candidate to explain a decision made during the exercise. An integrated technical interview is most useful when the conversation reveals why the candidate chose a particular implementation, how they tested it and which trade-offs they recognized. A working program and a fluent explanation should remain separate pieces of evidence until the reviewer has looked at both.

For Flowmingo, define what the Technical Test evaluates and what the AI interview should explore afterward. For OnScreen, inspect how the code, conversation and scoring rubric appear in the same result. Neither arrangement automatically produces a more valid assessment: the quality depends on the task, criteria and review process you configure. Keep a practical work sample proportional to the responsibilities of the role.

What your applicants experience

The most distinctive OnScreen candidate step is identity verification. HackerEarth describes government-ID checks, including DigiLocker in India and document checks in other regions, followed by face matching and continued verification. These are identity controls, separate from evaluating job-related answers^[1].

Tell applicants about ID requirements before the interview starts. A candidate may need a supported document, a working camera and an appropriate device for code execution. Test those steps with the population you actually recruit, including candidates outside your main country. Offer a clear contact route when a legitimate applicant cannot complete verification.

A mobile-friendly invitation does not establish that a complex coding exercise is practical on a phone. Likewise, Flowmingo’s WhatsApp invitation option opens the browser interview; it is available to enabled, eligible paid organizations with messaging credits and does not turn the assessment into a WhatsApp chat. Keep the delivery channel and assessment environment distinct in candidate instructions.

What	HackerEarth
Participation	AI voice/video interview with role-specific tasks[1]	Phone or laptop browser, with camera and microphone checks for the AI video interview
Scheduling	Always-available AI interviewing advertised[1]	Applicant completes the interview without a recruiter appointment
Identity documents	Government-ID verification; regional process varies[1]	Confirm the identity process required for your hiring use

60+ interview languages

What comes back after each interview

OnScreen advertises structured scoring supported by the conversation and technical work. HackerEarth says evaluation focuses on skills, code and reasoning rather than facial expression or sentiment. Flowmingo similarly gives recruiters evidence to inspect instead of treating the overall number as a hiring decision^[1].

What	HackerEarth
Scoring basis	Role rubric, skills, code and reasoning[1]	Criterion scores with written reasons; overall score reflects the importance you assign
Transcript	Interview transcript supports recruiter review[1]	Transcript alongside recorded answers
Technical output	Coding and task evidence in the assessment workflow[1]	Executable Technical Test evidence alongside AI interview reports
Integrity evidence	Identity and interview-integrity signals advertised[1]	Check available controls separately from the criterion score
Expression analysis	Vendor says facial expression, tone and sentiment are not scoring inputs[1]	Review written reasons against the job criteria
Sharing	Reports and results can flow into connected ATS workflows[1]	Report links on Free; downloads and branded sharing on paid plans; CSV export on Growth
Selection	Human review of the assessment evidence[1]	Recruiters review the evidence and decide who moves forward

Overall score

A verified identity and a strong job-related answer solve different problems. Keep identity exceptions out of the competency score unless your process explicitly explains their meaning and allows review. When a candidate receives a low technical result, look for the specific mistake or missing reasoning in the evidence. A generic label such as “weak fit” is less useful than an explanation a hiring manager can defend from the work itself.

Integrations and workflow

What	HackerEarth
Named ATS connections	Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby advertised[1]	API, webhooks and MCP for custom integrations on every plan
Result handoff	Scores, reports and integrity information in the integration workflow[1]	Map applicant IDs, completion and report links through your connection
Candidate tracking	OnScreen operates in the employer’s hiring process[1]	Built-in applicant tracking, hiring stages, notes and team review
Review team	Confirm seats and access controls in the selected package[1]	Unlimited team members; Owner, Admin and Member roles
Custom connection	API connectivity advertised[1]	API, webhooks and MCP on every plan
Product selection	OnScreen and FaceCode serve different interview workflows[1,3]	AI interviews, Technical Tests and qualified Companion availability

Specify what must arrive in the ATS. For a technical role, a score alone may be insufficient: the reviewer may need the code, transcript, integrity explanation and a stable report link. Demonstrate those fields using a test applicant, including who can open the result. Flowmingo’s custom integration options should be assessed on the same basis; a public API does not eliminate mapping and access-control work.

Scoring, oversight and candidate data

Identity verification deserves its own review

OnScreen’s identity controls create a different data and operational footprint from a basic interview link. Review the ID-verification process, provider responsibilities and exception handling in addition to ordinary interview consent and retention^[1].

Do not use a product-page identity claim as proof of a completed security or fairness assessment. Ask which data is stored, which verification provider processes it and how an applicant can challenge a mismatch. Restrict access to identity documents separately where required. A candidate who cannot pass an automated check may need a different verification route, not an unexplained failure in the hiring pipeline.

What	HackerEarth
Identity purpose	Government-ID and face checks address impersonation[1]	Establish which identity evidence is necessary for the role
Skill evaluation	Vendor separates job-skill evaluation from expression analysis[1]	Scores should be reviewed against written job criteria
Integrity flags	Continued verification can produce review signals[1]	Review evidence before making an adverse decision
Retention	Confirm ID, video, code and transcript retention separately[1]	Free retains the latest 300 interview videos for 30 days; scores and transcripts remain available
Contract scope	Request current data-processing and security documentation[1]	Published Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement; confirm your retention and deletion requirements
Final oversight	Set a human review and candidate-exception process[1]	Recruiters review the evidence and decide who moves forward

Which should you choose?

Moving from HackerEarth: test one role first

Keep the technical task and competency definitions consistent during a pilot. The first question is whether reviewers receive better evidence, not whether the new interface looks more automated.

1. Choose one representative technical roleSelect the actual coding, debugging or design task and state the evidence you expect from the explanation.
2. Complete verification as a candidateTest regional ID support, camera checks, task setup and an interruption. Record the exception route and support contact.
3. Compare the work with the reportReview the code, transcript and criterion reasons together. Ask whether the score reflects the candidate’s demonstrated work.
4. Validate handoff and commercial termsRun the applicant through the ATS and confirm seats, interview allowance, retry treatment, verification scope and retention before expanding.
