Comparison
Ashley vs Alex
The enterprise voice interviewer, formerly Apriora
Alex is a well-funded AI interviewer used by enterprise recruiting and staffing teams. It conducts real-time interviews over video calls, phone, and chat — but deliberately presents no interviewer face. Ashley takes the opposite bet: candidates do their best interviews face-to-face.
| Ashley | Alex | |
|---|---|---|
| Interviewer presence | Photoreal human face, live video conversation | Voice-first — no interviewer face by design |
| Candidate disclosure | Every candidate is told upfront they're meeting an AI | Varies by deployment; not a marketed feature |
| Scoring basis | Words only — transcript scored against your rubric; appearance is never evaluated | Structured scoring (methodology not public) |
| Pricing | Published — free to start, $499/mo, or $6/interview | Custom enterprise quotes only |
| Try before a sales call | Yes — live demo and free tier | No — demo request required |
| Best fit | Teams where candidate experience and employer brand matter | Fortune-500 RPO and phone-first volume screening |
Choose Alex if…
- · You're an enterprise RPO or staffing firm running phone/SMS-first pipelines at massive scale
- · You already standardized on a demo-gated enterprise procurement motion
Choose Ashley if…
- · Your candidates deserve a face-to-face first impression, not a phone tree
- · You want transparent pricing and to start this week, not next quarter
- · You're hiring for professional roles where presence and polish reflect your brand
