Depends

Should I use Codility?

The #1 online coding test & interview platform for enterprises. - codility.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if you're an enterprise screening hundreds of engineering candidates and need proctoring, compliance, and ATS integration. Skip it if you hire a few developers a year — you'll pay enterprise prices for capacity you won't use.

  • Anyone needing transparent, low-cost pricing

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pricing starts around $1,200/year on the Starter plan

medium

Invite-based billing: you pay per assessment, so hiring surges inflate costs

medium

No public pricing on the site — expect a sales conversation for real numbers

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Advanced proctoring and AI-cheating detection built in
  • ISO 27001 certified; markets assessments as legally defensible
  • Strong enterprise reputation: 98% of G2 reviewers gave 4–5 stars
  • Integrates with enterprise ATS platforms like iCIMS
  • Documented security practice including penetration testing

Cons

  • Candidates widely report algorithm puzzles that don't reflect real work
  • Scoring feels opaque: passing all test cases still yields 11%
  • Even senior developers find tests excessively hard
  • No transparent pricing; invite-based costs unclear upfront
