Where they pull apart

Codility

Stands out: Custom tasks can be built with MCP straight from your IDE and codebase on Scale and Custom plans.

Watch out: Starter is one platform user and 120 invites a year. ATS integrations, SSO and full API access are on the quote-based Custom plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-technical hiring
  • Teams that need many users on the entry plan

SkillPanel (DevSkiller)

Stands out: Candidates work inside a real project with unit tests and can use their own IDE through Git, which is closer to day-to-day work than timed algorithm puzzles. The catalog covers 220+ technologies, and there is a documented REST API for sending invitations and pulling results.

Watch out: The site now leads with workforce skills management, so pure hiring buyers may need to dig for testing details and pricing. The published $1 per employee figure is for the platform, not per candidate test.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers wanting self-serve per-test pricing
  • Non-technical hiring
  • Teams needing a free trial before buying
