Pay per interview. Not per seat.
Merit2Hire uses a credit-based model — you only pay when candidates actually record interviews. Start with 10 free credits, no payment required.
- Pricing model
- Credit-based. Pay per interview completed — not per seat, per month, or per invitation sent.
- What is a credit
- One credit covers one fully completed candidate interview — including AI question generation, dual-agent evaluation, scoring, transcript, and recruiter review. Credits are deducted only when the candidate finishes recording, never on invitation send.
- Free trial
- Every new account receives 10 interview credits. No credit card required. Trial credits can be used on real candidates.
- Candidate cost
- $0. Candidates use Merit2Hire free — including the Skills Map, Target Role GAP Analysis, and Global Talent Pool opt-in.
- Plans & volume
- Plans include a monthly credit allotment loaded at the start of each billing cycle, with per-interview overage at your plan's rate. Volume discounts apply at higher tiers; enterprise quotes available on request.
- Cancellation
- No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime; access continues through the end of the current billing period.
