The short version
- Each has a real cost: BrightHire zoom acquired BrightHire on 1 December 2025, so an organisation standardised on Microsoft Teams or Google Meet is now depending on a competitor of its meeting platform to keep supporting it, and should get that commitment in the contract.; Comeet the assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.
- They diverge on capability: BrightHire covers Interview recording and transcription, Comeet covers Assigned hiring steps.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
BrightHire
- Zoom acquired BrightHire on 1 December 2025, so an organisation standardised on Microsoft Teams or Google Meet is now depending on a competitor of its meeting platform to keep supporting it, and should get that commitment in the contract.
- Pricing is quote only and mixes recruiter and hiring manager seats with a usage component tied to interview volume, so a company with a lumpy hiring plan cannot forecast the annual cost with any accuracy.
- Recording interviews requires candidate consent and creates a retention obligation, which in Germany, France and several US states means a works council or legal review before the tool can be switched on.
- Hiring managers are the least frequent users but often need seats to review reels and transcripts, so seat-based pricing charges most for the people who log in a few times a quarter.
- Analytics measure process compliance, such as question coverage and talk time, not hiring outcomes, so it will tell you your interviews are consistent long before it tells you they are predictive.
Comeet
- The assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.
- Pricing is quoted rather than published and scales with company size and hiring volume, so it cannot be compared against per seat or per job slot competitors without going through a sales cycle.
- Sourcing and candidate relationship management are thinner than dedicated tools, so passive outreach still happens in LinkedIn and is recorded after the fact.
- The 2023 acquisition by Spark Hire places an independent ATS inside a portfolio company, and buyers should ask for explicit standalone roadmap commitments before signing a multi-year term.
- Support and product hours have historically followed Israeli and US eastern time, which leaves European and Asia Pacific customers with narrow overlap for anything urgent.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
BrightHire: Who owns BrightHire?
Zoom Communications acquired it on 1 December 2025. It continues to operate as a standalone brand.
Comeet: What is elastic recruiting?
Each step of a hiring process is assigned to a named person with a defined action and deadline, and the system tracks completion rather than leaving candidates in an unowned queue.
BrightHire: Does it work outside Zoom?
Yes, it runs across Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet today. Given the ownership change, ask for that in writing.
Comeet: Who owns Comeet?
Spark Hire acquired it in 2023 and sells it alongside video interviewing and assessment products.
BrightHire: Is pricing published?
No. Pricing combines seats and interview volume and is quoted per organisation.
Comeet: How is it priced?
By quote, based on company size and hiring volume, with unlimited users rather than per recruiter seats.
BrightHire: Do candidates have to consent to recording?
Yes, and in several jurisdictions you will also need employee representative or legal sign-off before deployment.
Comeet: Is it a good fit for low-volume hiring?
Not especially. The structure pays off when several people are involved in every hire and process delay is the real problem.
