Usage is only billed past the allowance your plan already includes. A month where you hire nobody costs the plan fee and nothing else.
Credits are what the AI work draws on: 2 to review and summarise one answer, and 2 for each minute transcribed.
Set how many answers you expect a month. Each plan uses its allowance first, and the cheapest one is named.
100 answers
An estimate from the published rates, not a quote. Video and audio minutes are billed as recorded, so a shorter answer costs less than the setting here assumes.

Fifty rows is a lot to read. Book a short walkthrough of the product on a real opening, or write to us about which plan fits your volume, and someone who works on Assessly answers.
One candidate finishing one assessment. Inviting fifty people and having twelve reply costs twelve answers, not fifty, because the allowance is spent on what comes back rather than on what you send.
The extra answers are billed at the published rate and the assessment keeps working. Nothing stops mid-hire, and there is no overage tier that quietly multiplies the price.
No. It is a plan with its own monthly allowance and no card, and it stays free. What it does not include is the AI review, video and audio questions, and the scoring that comes with them.
Yes. Every published template has its own page with sample questions, before any account exists. The questions that have a recorded correct answer are held back, so reading the page helps nobody pass the test.
Each plan includes a number of team members and an extra one is priced per month. Nobody needs a seat to answer an assessment, so you are never paying for candidates.
Yes, in both directions, and the allowance changes with it. Yearly billing is a discount on the plan fee rather than a lock, and usage is billed the same way either way.
Take a ready-made template, send the link to three candidates, and read what comes back. The free plan needs no card.
