An overview

Flowmingo is a free AI hiring platform built around the AI interview, plus CV scoring, tests, role‑play and an ATS. HireVue is an enterprise AI hiring platform with an AI Interviewer, video interviews and validated assessments⁠.⁠

The core difference is the price: Flowmingo's interview is free at any volume, while HireVue gives its price only in a quote⁠.⁠

On Flowmingo, AI interviews, follow‑up questions, team seats and 60+ languages are free on every plan. CV Evaluation, Tests, Technical Test, Showcase and Role‑Play are unlimited too.

Role-playThanks for jumping on. I'll be direct: of the 120 leads marketing sent us last month, roughly 60% were students, consultants, or shops that couldn't pay for a seat.00:316/10That's the right number to track: cost per qualified lead, not cost per form fill.00:449/10TranscriptStrong point00:09So 122 leads, about 70 of them are people who can never buy, and your team spent the month finding that out.00:19I know that frustrated, and that’s a real cause, and that is one of the problems that you need to fix.

Conversational AI interviewing

Who wins

If you want follow‑ups and questions about each CV on the Free plan, Flowmingo.

If you want the AI's voice and tone set to your brand, HireVue offers custom voices.

The AI asks a follow-up about what the candidate just said: you said the new finance lead wanted to cut the contract, how did you get her to keep it?

Flowmingo asks each question aloud and follows up when an answer is vague, on every plan.

It drafts the questions from your job description and can ask about each applicant's CV when there is time left⁠.⁠

HireVue holds a two‑way spoken AI conversation, 24/7, and asks probing follow‑up questions⁠.⁠

It drafts questions and answer rubrics from your job description, and you approve the content, voice and tone⁠.⁠

Global hiring and languages

Who wins

It works on mobile with no app to download, and offers 24/7 support in 20+ languages⁠.⁠

Candidate authenticity and cheating checks

Who wins

If you need ID checks or proof the same person stayed, HireVue is the safer pick.

Flowmingo flags cheating for free but does not check ID.

Flowmingo flags tab switches, a second window, screenshot keys, an extra monitor and missing or extra faces.

It puts the flags on every plan, for your team to review, and a flag never changes the score.

HireVue lists ID verification and checks that the same person stays throughout, with candidate snapshots⁠.⁠

It also tracks browser focus and location signals, and can disable pasting⁠.⁠

Scoring and reports

If you want rubric scores straight in your ATS, HireVue.

Flowmingo scores each skill 0 to 10 with a written reason, plus strengths, gaps and a recommendation.

It lets you weight each skill from Good to Have to Must Have, free, and share a no‑login report link.

HireVue scores skill answers on a custom 1 to 5 rubric, and marks each qualification met or not met⁠.⁠

It puts scores in your ATS, and Interview Insights adds AI summaries and searchable transcripts⁠.⁠

Assessment types and role coverage

Who wins

If you want research‑backed games, simulations and 200+ coding tests, HireVue has the bigger library.

Flowmingo's 5 checks are free and unlimited.

Flowmingo adds CV Evaluation, Tests, Technical Test (beta), Showcase and Role‑Play, all free.

It keeps all 5 unlimited on every plan, so screening 200 CVs costs the same as 20.

If candidates book live rounds across your team's calendars, HireVue leads.

The invite email an applicant gets the moment they apply, in the hiring company's name

Flowmingo sends invites one at a time, in bulk from a CSV or by link, by email or WhatsApp, and reminds each candidate automatically 2 and 4 days later⁠.⁠

On a Flowmingo job post, rules invite every applicant who passes pre‑screening or a CV score, and a stage can email the candidate by itself, free⁠.⁠

It connects to Google Calendar in beta.

HireVue lets candidates book their own time from your interviewers' shared calendars, invited by email or SMS⁠.⁠

It moves candidates with rules and bulk actions, such as advancing everyone who scores above 80%, and each change shows in your ATS⁠.⁠

The human touch

Who wins

If you want the reasoning behind every AI score and team ratings for free, Flowmingo.

If you want an AI opt‑out for candidates or a co‑pilot for live rounds, HireVue leads.

Flowmingo shows the recording, the transcript and the reasoning behind each rating, so your team can check any score⁠.⁠

If your buyer asks for ISO 27001, ISO 27701 or FedRAMP, HireVue is the better fit.

Both list SOC 2 and GDPR, and Flowmingo adds CASA.

Flowmingo lists GDPR, SOC 2 and CASA (Cloud Application Security Assessment). It notifies the authority of a breach within 72 hours where GDPR Article 33 requires it.

HireVue is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, with a yearly SOC 2 Type 2 audit, and lists GDPR. It also holds FedRAMP authorization for US federal hiring⁠.⁠

Frequently asked questions

Read the full FAQ and help centre

How do Flowmingo and HireVue prices compare?

Flowmingo publishes every price, with Free at $0, Starter at $49 a month, Growth at $99 and Scale at $399, while HireVue's pricing page shows no prices and has a Request Pricing form instead.

Only Flowmingo tells you the cost before a sales call.

Is Flowmingo a good HireVue alternative?

Yes, if you want to start this week, with no sales call, you hire in many languages, or you have no applicant tracker yet: Flowmingo's AI interviews are free on every plan.

HireVue fits better if you need ID checks, you run hiring in Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle, or your buyer requires FedRAMP or ISO 27001.

Can I try both for free?

Flowmingo, yes: its Free plan has no end date and needs no card.

HireVue's pricing page lists no free plan or trial, and its pages offer a demo instead.

How many AI interviews can I run?

On Flowmingo, you can run as many as you need on every plan, and 200 a month cost $0 on the Free plan, while HireVue's AI Interviewer page says it can screen every applicant, not just the shortlist, at a price that comes with a quote.

Both say you can interview every applicant, but only Flowmingo publishes what that costs.

How can Flowmingo be free?

Optional paid plans and extras pay for it, so AI interviews stay free.

Companies may pay for Starter, Growth or Scale, or pay per session to show only their brand, and candidates may buy optional extras; the scoring AI does not know who paid.

Which one connects to my ATS?

HireVue has more: its automation page says it enriches 45+ ATSs, and its integrations page lists pre‑built Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle integrations.

Flowmingo has 2 ready‑made ATS connectors, for Recruitee and Zoho Recruit: you send the interview from the candidate and the score comes back on the record.

Any other ATS connects through the REST API and webhooks, free on every plan, and a team with no ATS yet can use Flowmingo's own tracker.

How do they stop cheating?

Flowmingo flags tab switches, a second window, screenshot keys, an extra screen and missing or extra faces on every plan, for your team to review, while HireVue lists ID verification, checks that the same person stays, browser monitoring, location signals and blocked pasting.

If you need ID checks, HireVue has them; if you want flags for free, Flowmingo does.

How do they score candidates?

Flowmingo gives each skill a 0 to 10 score with written reasons, weighted from Good to Have up to Must Have, while HireVue scores skill answers on a 1 to 5 scale you set and marks qualifications as met or not.

On both, your team makes the decision.

What is the interview like for candidates?

On Flowmingo the AI asks each question aloud, and candidates answer on camera in a phone or laptop browser, while HireVue's AI holds a two‑way spoken conversation and lets candidates opt out of AI.

Neither needs an app.

Which security standards do they list?

HireVue lists ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certificates, a yearly SOC 2 Type 2 audit and FedRAMP authorization for US government hiring, while Flowmingo lists GDPR, SOC 2 and CASA.

If your buyer asks for ISO 27001 or FedRAMP, HireVue covers it.
