| Feature | Edvenity | Zoho Recruit |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant tracking / pipeline | Included | Included |
| AI interviews with transcripts and scoring | Included | Not a core feature (AI bots focus on sourcing/screening) |
| Skills assessments | Included | AI-assisted assessments on paid plans |
| Video interviews | Included | Add-on, extra cost |
| Pricing model | Flat plan pricing | Per-recruiter tiered pricing plus add-ons (reported ~46% above sticker) |
Zoho Recruit runs $0-75 per recruiter per month billed annually across Standard, Professional, and Enterprise tiers, with a free plan limited to one job. Add-ons like video interviews and client portals cost extra, and third-party reporting found add-ons can push real bills roughly 46% above the sticker price.
Zoho added AI tools including a Sourcing Bot, Screening Bot, and AI-assisted assessments to paid plans starting October 2025. Structured AI video interviews with scoring and transcripts are not the platform's core focus the way they are in a dedicated AI interview product.
Pricing structures differ — compare your expected add-on usage (video interviews, client portal, data migration) against Edvenity's flat plan pricing before deciding, since Zoho's advertised per-seat price does not include those extras.
Edvenity covers applicant tracking, AI interviews, assessments, and candidate sourcing. It does not include Zoho's broader CRM/ERP ecosystem integrations, which matter for agencies already standardized on Zoho's suite.
