Verdict	The most complete option for conversational screening — the perception layer is worth the premium when a real person is on the other end.	The cost floor for candidate-facing video — cheap enough to leave running on every job page, not just the interview.
Best for	First-round conversational screeningEmployer-brand videos personalised per candidateProctored assessments where attention signals matter	Job-page avatarsCandidate FAQ and chatHigh-volume first contact
Watch out for	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	No visual perception layer — it does not see the candidate the way Tavus Raven does Proctoring and attention signals need a separate component
