For personality and behavioral assessments — yes. JobCannon's 201 personality tests are free to take (DISC, Big Five, EQ, Enneagram, RIASEC), against TestGorilla's Core plan ($142/mo on an annual plan, $1,704/yr) or Plus plan (from $400/mo, from $4,800/yr). For skills testing, TestGorilla still has broader coverage — typing tests, software-specific tests (Excel, Salesforce), and coding across dozens of languages. JobCannon ships four coding-knowledge tests (Python, SQL, Java, JavaScript — 30-question scenario multiple-choice, not a live-coding sandbox), plus its personality and career-matching catalog with more frameworks and flat per-organisation hiring tiers.
TestGorilla: Free tier (5 tests), Core $142/mo on an annual plan ($1,704/yr), Plus from $400/mo (from $4,800/yr). JobCannon: every test is free for an individual to take. For hiring use, the coordinator dashboard, recurring tests, white-label and API are Starter $29/mo, Team $79/mo and Scale $199/mo, with Enterprise scoped on request. For personality assessments alone, JobCannon costs a fraction of TestGorilla's Core ($1,704/yr) or Plus (from $4,800/yr) plans.
