Skillmeter is a cloud-based assessment platform for recruiters, trainers, educators, and companies that need to create and send customized tests. It supports questionnaire and programming assessments alongside multiple choice, true/false, ranking, essay, file upload, typing-speed, and video-recording questions. Candidate management includes PIN-based access, private and public tests, result notifications, instant reports, and PDF export. A branded test center with a custom subdomain makes it suitable for organizations that want a more recognizable candidate-facing experience without adopting a broader hiring suite.

Its pricing gives smaller teams a straightforward entry point. The On-Demand plans cost $24 for 10 prepaid credits, $69 for 30 credits, or $204 for 100 credits, with 5 users, questionnaire tests, and private tests. These are one-time purchases rather than recurring subscriptions. The Standard plan costs $59 per month, and Premium costs $119 per month; both include questionnaire tests, private tests, and an own subdomain. Ultimate costs $239 per month and adds questionnaire and programming tests plus private and public tests. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan, and the terms state that payments are non-refundable.

Skillmeter stands out when assessment flexibility matters more than a large software ecosystem. Programming tests, essays, file uploads, and video recording cover a broader range of evaluation formats than a simple questionnaire tool, while the REST API supports custom integrations. However, the product has no native integrations or proctoring, so teams that need connected recruiting workflows or monitored exams should consider an alternative. Choose Skillmeter for branded, custom testing with on-demand credits or focused monthly plans; avoid it if built-in ecosystem connections or proctoring are essential.
