SkillPanel (DevSkiller)
Skills platform, formerly DevSkiller, with work-sample coding tests for screening developers across 220+ technologies.
From $1/employee/mo API
Bottom line
SkillPanel is DevSkiller under a new name: a developer testing tool that now also maps skills across a company's existing workforce. Pricing starts from $1 per employee per month, with candidate testing priced through sales. It fits technical hiring teams that want realistic project-based coding tests plus a way to track skills after the hire.
Stands out for: 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 for: 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.
Overview
DevSkiller rebranded as SkillPanel, and devskiller.com now redirects to skillpanel.com.
Its coding tests use the RealLifeTesting method, where candidates build or fix features in a working project and results are scored automatically.
The library covers 220+ languages, frameworks and tools with 500+ ready-made assessments, plus multiple choice and code gap questions.
Beyond hiring, the platform maps employee skills, plans career paths and includes an AI readiness module that flags roles at risk and who to upskill.
Pricing starts from $1 per employee per month with a 3-month money-back guarantee; module pricing for candidate testing is quoted.
