Assessly vs iMocha: an honest comparison
People arriving here are usually looking for breadth: enough question types and enough ready-made content to cover a range of roles without commissioning tests for each one.
Ways to ask
What each one costs to start
Assessly
From $29 a month
Or free: 20 answers a month
Published prices, monthly, from free to Business. You can read every template and send the first one before anyone from either side gets on a call.
iMocha
By quote only
Two plans, both custom, on yearly enterprise contracts. Capterra lists no free plan and no free trial; third-party guides quote figures from about $999 a year upward, unverified.
Both prices as published by each company on the date the comparison was checked, in the currency they publish. iMocha may offer other terms on request; so do we above the Business plan.
18 question types
Text, choice, ranking, scales, file upload, recorded video and audio, and a code editor, grouped by what you are trying to find out rather than by format.
135 templates you can read first
Sample questions from each template are on its own page, before any account exists. What you see is what a candidate gets.
Assessments in 12 languages
The questions themselves, so a team hiring across markets sends the same assessment in the language each candidate reads.

Assessly and iMocha, side by side
Both columns are read at the first paid plan of each tool, ours at Starter for $29 a month, theirs at the plan named in the header. Our column comes from the plans the product enforces, so it cannot be tidied by hand. Theirs is read from their public pages on the date below. Where only a dearer plan carries something, the cell names that plan and its price. A question mark means we could not verify it there, not that it is missing.

Where iMocha is stronger
- Breadth nobody in the category matches: thousands of skills and tests, including SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow, and coding in 25 or more languages with test cases and plagiarism checks.
- Deep proctoring: camera images every 20 to 40 seconds with face matching, a locked-down assessment browser, IP restriction.
- A validated English proficiency test on the CEFR scale with a published reliability manual.
- SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and a candidate interface in 50 or more languages, for an enterprise buyer with a questionnaire.
Where Assessly is stronger
- A price on the page and an account you can open today. iMocha is sold by demo and yearly contract.
- Every template readable in full before signup, and editable once it is yours.
- The reasoning behind every score on every open answer, which is what makes a hiring manager act on it.
- A product sized for a team without an implementation project: one link, no onboarding, no account management fee.
- Job simulations and a Big Five inventory beside the skills questions, on every plan that sends a template.
So which one?
Pick iMocha if
You are an enterprise buyer with a skills taxonomy to fill, need camera proctoring and a locked browser, and have a procurement process built for yearly contracts.
Pick Assessly if
You want to send the first assessment this week from a published price, read the questions before you pay, and get scores that explain themselves.
How breadth actually gets used
- 1
Start from the catalog
Read any of the 135 templates in full before deciding, no account needed.
- 2
Mix the types the role needs
One assessment can hold a written answer, a recorded one and a practical task, from 18 types.
- 3
Send it in the right language
The assessment itself can be written in 12 languages, not just the interface around it.
- 4
Read the scores with their reasoning
Every answer gets a figure and an explanation, so a hiring manager can act on it.
Worth asking of any assessment platform
- How many question types will you actually use, and which plan holds them?
- Can you read a template in full before you buy?
- Is the assessment translated, or only the interface around it?
- When a score looks wrong, can you see what produced it?
Where Assessly stops
- Automatic scoring starts on the Starter plan; code questions on Pro.
- There is no proctoring with a camera watching the candidate throughout.
Short screening assessments
The quickest way to see how a question reads to a candidate.
2 real questions
Taken from Accountant, exactly as a candidate reads them.
- 1.Short text
Which financial statement presents a company's cash inflows and outflows for a period, split into operating, investing and financing activities?
- 2.Short text
A company has current assets of $900,000 and current liabilities of $600,000. What is its current ratio?
Questions people ask us
How many question types are there?
18, grouped by what you are trying to find out rather than by format: text, choice, ranking, scales, file upload, recorded video and audio, and a code editor.
Which types are on the free plan?
15 of the 18. Video and audio come with Starter, and the code editor with Pro.
Can I read a template in full before buying?
Yes. Each of the 135 templates has a page with sample questions, and questions carrying an answer key are held back so the page cannot be used to pass the test.
Is the assessment itself multilingual?
Yes. It can be written in 12 languages, not just the interface around it.
What does a score include?
A figure from 0 to 100 per answer and the reasoning behind it, so a hiring manager who was not in the room can act on it.
Is there camera proctoring?
No. Assessly collects signals about how an answer was produced rather than watching the candidate through their camera.
This is our own site, so read it that way. What we say about the other tool is read from its public pages on the date shown beside the table, with the sources linked, and we name where it beats us before we name where we win. Every number about Assessly is read from the product rather than written by hand. If we got something about them wrong, write to us and we will fix it.
Try it on one opening before you decide
Take a ready-made template, send the link to three candidates and read what comes back. 20 submissions a month cost nothing and need no card.
