PRICING

How pricing compares

Clara

Transparent per-screening pricing. You know exactly what each candidate screening costs before you commit. No hidden fees, no minimum contracts, no surprise invoices. Pricing scales with your actual usage. Suitable for teams of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprise.

HeyMilo

Custom enterprise quotes only. HeyMilo does not publish pricing. Expect sales-driven pricing discussions tailored to your staffing agency's volume, client count, and feature requirements. Pricing likely reflects the platform's comprehensive multi-channel capabilities and white-labeling options. No free trial mentioned.

If transparent, predictable pricing matters to your procurement process, Clara delivers straightforward economics. If you're a large staffing operation with complex, multi-client needs that justify custom pricing negotiations, HeyMilo's model accommodates that complexity.

Who Should Use What?

Choose Clara if...

Choose Clara if...

You need actual voice conversations to assess communication skills and language proficiency. You want to be live in days, not weeks. You're a direct employer hiring for your own operations (not a staffing agency). You value transparent, predictable pricing without sales cycles. You prefer depth and specialization in voice screening over multi-channel breadth.

Choose HeyMilo if...

Choose HeyMilo if...

You're a staffing agency, BPO, or franchise operation screening candidates for multiple external clients. You need white-labeling and client-specific workflows. You want maximum flexibility: voice, video, SMS, resume screening, and forms in one platform. You have complex fraud detection requirements for regulated industries. You're managing industrial-scale recruiting (10,000+ monthly screenings) across diverse industries and need battle-tested infrastructure.

When HeyMilo is the better fit

When HeyMilo is the better fit

If you're a staffing agency with 50+ clients, each requiring different screening protocols, HeyMilo's multi-channel flexibility and white-labeling are genuinely valuable. The platform is purpose-built for your operational model. If you need resume screening, video interviews, and SMS engagement in addition to voice — not as separate vendors, but as one integrated workflow — HeyMilo delivers that breadth. We respect what they've built for the staffing industry.

VERDICT

Our Verdict

Clara and HeyMilo both use AI voice technology for candidate screening, but they serve fundamentally different customers with different priorities.

If you're a direct employer who values speed, simplicity, and transparent pricing — and you believe voice conversations deliver the richest screening signal — Clara is the focused, fast-deploying choice.

If you're a staffing agency or BPO that needs multi-channel flexibility, white-labeling, and industrial-scale infrastructure — and you're willing to navigate custom pricing and longer implementations — HeyMilo offers the breadth and complexity to match your operational model.

Both are legitimate choices. The right one depends on whether you're hiring for yourself or for clients, and whether you value specialization or comprehensive platform breadth.
