Codility plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scale | $500/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Starter | $1200/year | 3 | +$700/year, 3 more features |
| Custom | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Scale
$500/monthThe entry tier. It covers up to 300 assessment invites per year (25 a month), 3 platform users, discount available on annual billing.
Starter
$1200/yearOver Scale, this tier adds:

What the product covers
The full Codility feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Coding task library
- Automated scoring
- Plagiarism detection
- Live coding interviews
- ATS integrations
- Candidate experience reporting
People bring Codility in for an engineering team with a steady, moderate hiring volume that fits comfortably within the starter or scale invite allowance, a company that wants automated coding assessments integrated directly into an existing applicant tracking system, a hiring team concerned about ai-generated or copied solutions wanting built-in plagiarism detection, an organisation running live, interviewer-led coding sessions in addition to take-home assessments. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Codility are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Recruitment
Too few recruitment tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Codility badges page.
Before you pay for Codility
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $500/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Codility against the tools that do have one before committing.
Codility runs on web, and is published by Codility Limited of London, United Kingdom. The full record is on the Codility review, and the rest of the category is under best recruitment tools.

- Starter costs $1200/year against $500/month, and adds up to 120 assessment invites per year, 1 platform user, annual billing only.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is custom quote, unlimited or high-volume invites, unlimited users, sso, integrations and dedicated support. It costs On request against $500/month for Scale. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
