Best for technical screening and live coding interviews
Codility runs coding tests and live interviews, starting at $800 a month for 25 invites, or $4,800 a year for 200. That's far above what other hiring tools charge, and the online plans lack SSO and ATS links.
Who Codility is for
- Fits if you screen a lot of engineers and want coding tasks and live interviews together
- Works for large hiring teams that can use the Enterprise ATS links
Who Codility is not for
- Pricey if you hire a few engineers a year, as the online plans start at $800 a month
- Skip it if you need ATS links, SSO or ID verification, since those are Enterprise
- Tight if you want certainty on the trial, as the listing says only that one is available on request
- Watch out: invites are capped at 25 to 100 a month, or 200 to 1,400 a year
- Watch out: the desktop app that flags unauthorised apps is part of Enterprise
Why Codility gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$800 a month for 25 invites, or $4,800 a year for 200, which works out to $400 a month. The dearest tenth of hiring tools starts at $299 a month.

Keep Codility, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Codility you could make: applicant tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. It costs $9,600 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- It plugs into other products, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Greenhouse among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Codility’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
