Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
Codility is a technical hiring platform that screens candidates with coding tasks and runs live interviews in an environment where they can use an AI assistant. Online plans are bought by card, and Enterprise adds SSO, ATS integrations, ID verification and video proctoring.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Codility, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You pick tasks, send invites and handle the review yourself.
- 1
Best for technical screening and live coding interviews
That's far above what other hiring tools charge, and the online plans lack SSO and ATS links.
- 2
Paid plans start at $800 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $800 per month for 25 invites, billed monthly; yearly packs from $4,800.
- 3
You can try it first
Free trial available on request
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Screening tasks
A library of 1,300+ validated coding tasks across 80+ languages and frameworks, with the full library from 1,000 invites a year.
- 6
AI Assistant and agents
Candidates can use an AI assistant, and Claude Code and Codex are set up in the terminal; every prompt and code change is saved for review.
- 7
Live interviews
Live technical interviews are included on online plans, with interview recording and transcripts available on Enterprise.
- 8
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 48
That is against the other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial is available on request, and the length and card terms aren't stated. There's no free plan. |
| Features | C | Screening tasks, an AI assistant, live interviews and integrity checks. The online plans have no SSO, ATS links or ID verification, and invites are capped per pack. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You pick tasks, send invites and handle the review yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on the online plans. Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and other ATS links are Enterprise only. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Engineering teams screening developers by invite pack
- Hiring teams that want to see how candidates use AI tools
- Teams that want to buy online by card
Worth knowing
- Online plans have no SSO, no ATS integrations and no ID verification; those need Enterprise.
- Invites are capped per pack: 25 to 100 a month, or 200 to 1,400 a year.
- Enterprise pricing is a quote, set by products, integrations, support and a fair-use limit.
- The desktop app that flags unauthorized apps during an assessment is part of Enterprise.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
