Where they pull apart

Codility

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

Watch out: Online plans cap invites at 200 to 1,400 a year and include one standard ATS integration. Every ATS integration, SSO and full API access are on the quote-based Enterprise plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-technical hiring
  • Teams that need more than 10 users without an Enterprise contract

TestGorilla

Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.

Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need video as the product
  • Buyers who want one flat low price
