TestGorilla vs JobCannon
In Brief
TestGorilla is a comprehensive pre-employment testing platform (Core $142/mo on an annual plan, Plus from $400/mo) with 350+ tests including skills, cognitive, and personality. JobCannon offers 179 personality and career assessments, all free for an individual to take — DISC, Big Five, EQ, RIASEC, Enneagram, and more. For personality testing in hiring, JobCannon provides the same validated frameworks on flat per-organisation tiers ($29-199/mo) against TestGorilla's Core plan ($1,704/yr) or Plus plan (from $4,800/yr). TestGorilla still has broader skills testing overall — typing tests, software-specific tests like Excel and Salesforce, and coding across dozens of languages. JobCannon added four coding-knowledge tests (Python, SQL, Java, JavaScript — scenario multiple-choice, not a live-coding sandbox) alongside its personality catalog. For a team needing personality assessments only, JobCannon costs a fraction of that.
