Subject: Seeking Aptitude Testing Options
Hi everyone,
I’m currently overseeing the recruitment process for a position and looking for reliable aptitude tests that assess skills in logic, mechanical reasoning, communication, and similar areas.
Unfortunately, most services I’ve come across are prohibitively expensive—around $1200 annually. While they offer a wide range of tests, I only need to test about 8 candidates a couple of times a year.
Does anyone know of services that charge on a per-test or per-applicant basis? I’m willing to pay for the tests, but we don’t have enough demand to justify the subscription fees for platforms like Test Monkey and others.
Thanks for your help!

Hi there!
I understand your frustration with the high subscription costs of some aptitude testing services, especially when you’re only looking to test a small number of applicants infrequently. Here are a few options you might consider that offer pay-per-test or more flexible pricing structures:
Criteria Corp – They offer a range of tests on a pay-per-use basis, allowing you to select specific tests without committing to a full subscription.
Mettl (by Mercer) – Mettl provides a wide variety of tests including logical reasoning and mechanical aptitude, and they allow you to purchase tests individually.
Pymetrics – While mainly focused on gamified assessments, Pymetrics offers pay-per-use options and can be a great way to assess soft skills and cognitive abilities.
TestGorilla – They let you pay for individual tests and provide a vast selection, so you can pick what fits your needs best.
Wonderlic – They have various cognitive and personality tests available on a pay-per-use basis, which can be a good fit for assessing different skills.
Make sure to check their terms and see if the per-test pricing aligns with your budget. It might also be helpful to reach out to their sales teams to negotiate a custom solution that fits your needs.
Good luck with your recruitment process!
