Aural vs Evalex VIA

Aural is a platform for conducting structured, adaptive interviews by chat, voice, or video. Its AI interviewer changes the depth, tone, and direction of follow-up questions based on participant responses. Interviews can be live or asynchronous and recorded; sessions are automatically transcribed and summarized, with structured results exportable as XLSX or PDF. Templates support open-ended, multiple-choice, rating-scale, coding, and whiteboard questions. Aural supports interview languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. It provides a REST API with Bearer-token authentication and an OpenAPI specification, but does not provide webhooks or official SDKs. Aural is open source under the MIT license and can be self-hosted; that version supports pluggable LLMs including OpenAI, Kimi, MiniMax, or compatible APIs. Aural states that data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, and that it complies with GDPR and other global privacy regulations. The free plan includes three templates, 100 AI tokens, 30 minutes of session time, and one seat. Paid plans include usage-based pricing and a Starter plan at $9 a month.

Evalex VIA is a cloud-based, asynchronous one-way video-interview platform for recruiters and hiring managers. Recruiters create position-specific questions, while candidates record answers later on smartphones, computers, or tablets without downloading software. Every candidate receives the same questions in the same order and the same response time. Multiple hiring committee members can review recordings independently, with their opinions combined into an overall result. VIA supports Behaviourally Anchored Rating Scales and algorithms that combine and weight ratings and scores. Clients can build bespoke templates, questions, and competencies or use Evalex frameworks and its template catalogue. A role-based dashboard tracks projects, candidate progress, suitability, interview analysis, and automated status notifications. Integrations include Odyssey and Evalex assessments, with outcomes also connectable to psychometric assessments, gamification, and leadership simulations. The service is web-based, has no live-interview mode listed, and uses tiered upfront interview purchases with possible bulk discounts. Pricing is available on request.
