Stop assessing AI-written noise.

Stori uses our patent-pending Narrative Method, which goes beyond rehearsed behavioural answers. Our AI-powered interviews ask candidates about specific details only they would know, creating authentic insights that reveal true capabilities and fit. Every interview includes a full trait assessment, not just a video recording.

Three things, and two of them are optional. The platform is priced on your company size: free under twenty people, $299 a month from twenty-one to a hundred, $599 to two hundred and fifty, and a conversation above that. Whatever band you are in, every seat is included, so adding a hiring manager or an interviewer never costs anything. Sourcing is $249 a month for the whole company and covers 500 contacts. Interviews are $20 each, less at volume, and that is the only per-candidate charge.

You tell us your company size when you sign up, and we ask you to confirm it once a year. The free band is for companies of up to twenty people and runs up to five open roles at once, which is plenty for a startup and pointless for anyone pretending to be one. When you grow past twenty, or we can see that you have, you get a notice in Stori and thirty days to pick your band. Nothing stops during those thirty days. After that, you can still read, watch and work every candidate already in your pipeline, but you cannot open new roles until the subscription is in place. Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away.

Two ways in, one charge. For someone already on Stori: preview them free, watch two minutes free, and you are charged only if you keep watching. For someone you invite: sending the invitation costs nothing, an interview they never finish costs nothing, and the $20 lands once a real interview exists at the end of it. Either way you pay once for that person and never again. Rewatch them, share them with the panel, come back to them next year: all included.

It is a written summary drawn from the candidate's own interview, and it reports where the evidence is thin as readily as where it is strong. That is deliberate. A preview that made everyone look compelling would be worthless to you within a week, and the recruiter who skips someone because it genuinely was not a fit is the reason the next one feels worth paying for.

Because you asked someone to spend thirty minutes on you, and that interview had to be conducted whether or not you opened it. Mass-inviting a hundred people you have no intention of watching became free the moment it became automated, and the cost of it moved onto candidates, who pay it in unpaid hours. We would rather you invited ten people you mean it about. Candidates on Stori you have not invited work the other way round: those are free to preview and free for the first two minutes, and you are charged only if you keep watching.

No. You pay once per candidate, and that access belongs to your whole company forever. Rewatch it, send it to the hiring manager, bring the panel back to it before a final round: all included. If that candidate adds new material to their Stori later, you keep access to that too.

Because they are different things and it would be indefensible to charge the same for both. Sourcing gives you a verified email address and phone number for someone who is not on Stori yet. An interview is thirty minutes of assessed evidence about who they actually are. Charging interview money to reveal a contact detail is the sort of pricing we built this to replace, so sourcing is a cheap monthly subscription and stays out of the way.

You are not paying for the interview to happen. You are paying for access to the result, and only for the candidates you actually choose to look at. Candidates take part for free because that is what builds the network you are searching. Inviting someone to interview costs exactly the same as watching someone already in it, so there is never a reason to send candidates off to do it themselves.

When candidates complete their Stori interview and opt in to be discoverable, their full interview transcript becomes searchable. That is far richer than a CV: thousands of words of authentic responses, indexed and ready to match against your requirements. You can also search hundreds of millions of sourced profiles for people who are not on Stori yet, and invite them to interview.
