TestDome vs Adaface

TestDome and Adaface both publish what screening costs, but they meter it in different units. TestDome sells prepaid candidate packs from $20 down to $7 per candidate, with no subscription and no pack expiry. Adaface sells yearly credit plans from $180 to $50,000, with credits that lapse after one year. TestDome is the calmer choice for a team that hires in bursts and wants to pay per candidate. Adaface suits a staffing firm that can forecast a year of volume and wants a chatbot format.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our coding assessment software ranking: TestDome and Adaface.

1. 01

   Pack balance versus yearly credits

   TestDome packs run Starter 5 candidates at $20 each, Small 25 at $16, Medium 100 at $10, Large 300 at $8 and Extra Large 600 at $7, with no subscription. Adaface plans run Individual $180 for 12 credits, Starter $500 for 50, Pro $900 for 100, Scale $3,000 for 500, Growth $5,500 for 1,000, Enterprise $20,000 for 5,000, and Unlimited for staffing at $50,000. One is bought per candidate, the other per year.

   Depends on the buyer

   What happens to money you do not spend

   TestDome packs do not expire, and invites for candidates who do not finish within 6 days return to the balance. Adaface credits expire one year after purchase, though an invite credit comes back if the candidate does not take the test, and accounts can be topped up. For uneven hiring, TestDome loses less money to idle months. Adaface rewards a team that uses its credits.

   A test costs credits before anyone takes it

   On Adaface, a ready-to-use test costs 5 credits once, a custom test 10 credits once, and each candidate invite costs 1 credit. On the 12-credit Individual plan, one custom test leaves only a couple of invites. TestDome states no per-test fee on its pack page: one invite is used per candidate invited by email or URL, and all features are included on every plan.

   Test content and format

   Adaface advertises 500+ ready-to-use tests, coding tests for 35+ programming languages and 20+ frameworks, conversational chatbot assessments of 30 to 45 minutes, and integration into an existing hiring workflow, with no applicant tracking systems named. TestDome advertises 100+ skills and interviews with video, chat and collaborative code editing. Adaface offers the wider library, while TestDome adds live interviewing inside the same balance.

   Watching for cheating

   TestDome describes screen proctoring that flags AI tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini, with screenshots, OCR and DevTools checks. Its webcam proctoring catches off-screen glances, phones, and zero or multiple people, and Safe Exam Browser lockdown is listed. It also detects duplicate attempts by IP address or browser. Adaface links a separate proctoring page, but its specific checks are not listed in the material we saw, so TestDome is better documented.

   Trial, base and how you start

   Adaface offers a 14-day free trial from its pricing page and is run by Adaface Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, with an office in Bengaluru and a bootstrapped description. TestDome Ltd. is registered in Zagreb, Croatia, advertises a 14-day trial on its home page, and shows a Start Trial button that states no length. Neither has a free plan. Larger TestDome intake moves to a custom plan via sales.

   Depends on the buyer

How many candidates does an Adaface credit plan really cover?

It depends on how many tests you create. A ready-to-use test costs 5 credits once, a custom test 10 credits once, and each invite 1 credit. So the 100-credit Pro plan at $900 covers fewer candidates than its headline suggests once tests are set up.

Do TestDome candidate packs run out at the end of the year?

The pricing page says packs do not expire. Invites to candidates who do not take the test within 6 days are refunded to the balance. Automatic top-up is available, and bigger custom plans go through sales.

Which of the two has no subscription at all?

TestDome describes itself as pay-as-you-go candidate packs with no subscriptions. Adaface lists annual plans only, and no monthly billing appears on its pricing page. If month-by-month matters, TestDome is the closer fit.
