VerdictThe cost floor for candidate-facing video — cheap enough to leave running on every job page, not just the interview.The most complete option for conversational screening — the perception layer is worth the premium when a real person is on the other end.

Watch out for
  • No visual perception layer — it does not see the candidate the way Tavus Raven does
  • Proctoring and attention signals need a separate component
  • At roughly $1/min it is 200× the cost of Homo 1 — model your per-interview cost before committing
  • Recording a candidate’s webcam raises consent and data-retention obligations; several jurisdictions require explicit notice for automated video assessment
  • A trained replica of a real employee needs that employee’s written consent
