Comparison
Kira-AI vs Willo
You write the questions once. Willo stops there; Kira keeps asking wherever the answer leads.
Both are async and both take audio. The difference is a recording against a conversation, and a summary against quoted evidence.

Which one fits you
When Kira fits better
- A thin answer needs a follow-up, asked while the candidate is still there.
- You run many roles at once. One price covers every role and every seat.
- You want the quote, not the recording. Each quote is matched to a transcript turn.
- Candidates who will not record themselves will still take a call.
When Willo fits better
- You hire one role at a time. At that size $59 beats $149.
- You need answers that are not speech: text, file uploads, multiple choice.
- You want candidates to re-record. A live interview has one take.
- You need an ATS integration or a general REST API. Kira supports ChatGPT and Claude through MCP, but not those broader connections.
- You need identity checks or anti-cheat. Kira has neither, by choice.
- You interview in more than thirteen languages. Willo lists eighteen or more.
Questions buyers ask
It depends how many roles you run. Willo charges $59 a month per live role. Kira charges $149 for 100 interviews across any number of roles.
You paste them in yourself; there is no import. Kira also drafts five to eight questions from a job description, which is where most teams start.
Not for Kira. It is a voice interview: no camera, no app, no login. Willo takes video, audio, text or file answers, so a camera is optional there too.
No, and that is a decision, not a missing feature. Willo sells anti-cheat and ID checks, so choose Willo if your policy needs them.
The next question comes from the last answer.
