What is Testlify?
Testlify is a pre-employment skills assessment platform. Founded in 2021, its legal entity is Testlify, Inc. in Trevose, Pennsylvania, but the careers page lists Mumbai among its hubs, alongside hybrid and remote roles, and says the team has more than 100 people. Recruiters send candidates a link to a test built from a library of more than 3,500 tests. Formats range from coding in a live IDE (45+ languages) to Excel and Google Sheets simulations, situational judgement items, CEFR-aligned English tests and AI chat, voice and video interviews. It is not an ATS. It plugs into one.
For Indian recruiters, the most useful detail is regional pricing. The Standard plan costs $139 a month in the US, but Indian buyers see $89 a month ($1,068 a year). Both include 100 candidate credits a year and 3 user seats. One credit is used when a candidate starts a test, and extra credits cost $21 each. That pricing suits a startup hiring a few dozen people a year. A BPO or campus programme screening thousands of applicants will burn through credits quickly and should ask about the Custom or Unlimited credit plans.
Proctoring is thorough: webcam snapshots, photo ID checks, tab-switch and full-screen enforcement, IP and country restrictions, and detection of GPT and AI-assisted answers. Testlify lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. The downsides are mostly commercial. Prices are in USD, so you pay by card or wire with no rupee invoice shown on the site. ATS integrations and white labelling are a $2,388 a year add-on on Standard. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle.
Buying is self-serve. You get a 7-day trial without a card, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and your base price is locked for 24 months. Non-profits get 25% off. Compared with Indian rivals such as Mercer Mettl or Xobin, Testlify publishes its prices openly and has a wider question-format library.
What works well
- +India regional pricing brings Standard down to $89 per month from the US price of $139
- +Library of 3,500+ tests includes non-technical roles across 50+ industries, not just coding
- +Live coding IDE supports 45+ languages, plus Excel, Sheets, Docs and PowerPoint simulations
- +Proctoring includes photo ID, tab-switch detection, IP limits and AI or GPT answer detection
- +A 7-day trial without a card and a 30-day money-back guarantee lower the risk of trying it
- +Base plan price is locked for 24 months from purchase
- +Vendor states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification with region-aware data storage
What to watch out for
- −Only 100 candidate credits a year on Standard, and each extra credit costs $21
- −Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle instead of rolling over
- −ATS integrations and white label are a $2,388 per year add-on on the Standard plan
- −Prices are in USD only, and the pricing page says nothing about GST or INR invoices

Best suited for: Indian startups and SMEs hiring a few dozen people a year who want objective skill screening · Tech teams that need coding tests with plagiarism and AI-answer detection · Recruiters hiring for non-technical roles such as sales, support or finance who need role simulations · Staffing agencies that want a white-labelled candidate portal (add-on)
