Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Codility

Pricing is capped by candidate invites per year, not by hiring headcount, so a busy recruiting quarter or hiring surge can exhaust the allowance faster than a company's growth plan anticipated.
The Starter plan supports only one platform user, making it impractical for any team with more than a single recruiter or hiring manager needing direct access.
Annual-only billing on the Starter tier requires a full year's commitment before a company knows whether its actual invite usage matches the plan it bought.
As with any automated coding assessment, over-reliance on it as an early filter risks screening out strong candidates who do not perform well under artificial timed test conditions.
Its assessment format is squarely aimed at software engineering roles, so it offers no coverage for non-technical or adjacent technical hiring needs that HackerRank's broader question library covers.

Occupop

There is no outbound sourcing or passive candidate search, so any role that will not fill from applications has to be worked in LinkedIn Recruiter or an agency and tracked back manually.
Integration coverage is thin outside the Irish and UK ecosystem, so a company running a US payroll or a major HRIS will usually be exporting CSV files rather than syncing new hires.
Reporting answers time to hire and source questions but does not support the cohort or funnel analysis a talent team needs once it runs dozens of requisitions at once.
The vendor is small, which means the roadmap moves slowly and there is no realistic pressure a mid-market customer can apply to get a feature built.
Pricing is quoted rather than published and is structured around plan tiers and hiring volume, so seasonal employers can find the annual cost jumps in the year they run a peak recruitment campaign.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Codility: What counts against the invite limit?

Each candidate assessment invitation sent counts toward the plan's annual (or monthly, for Scale) invite allowance.

Occupop: Where is candidate data stored?

Inside the European Union, which is the reason many Irish public sector and healthcare buyers shortlist it over larger non-EU vendors.

Codility: What happens if we exceed our invite allowance?

Additional invites beyond the plan limit typically incur per-invite charges or require an upgrade to a higher tier.

Occupop: Does it do candidate sourcing?

No. It manages inbound applications and talent pools. Sourcing passive candidates happens elsewhere.

Codility: Is there a free tier?

No published free tier exists; all plans require payment, with Starter billed annually only.

Occupop: Is it priced per recruiter?

No. Plans are sold on tier and hiring volume with unlimited users on most tiers, which suits companies where many managers need access.

Occupop: Will it scale past a few hundred employees?

It handles the hiring volume, but companies with a dedicated talent function usually move to a system with sourcing, CRM and deeper analytics.
