Built for take-homes, not for invite-metered timed tests
Codility publishes honest self-serve pricing and runs a mature similarity check. It is still a timed-test platform metered by invites. DevParser assumes the candidate works at home, on their own machine, with an LLM within reach — and instruments for exactly that.
What a screen costs on each side
Competitor figures are published self-serve list prices, checked 24 August 2026; enterprise and negotiated contracts differ. DevParser figures come from devparser.it/pricing. We re-check these quarterly and correct them here when they move.
Where Codility is stronger
- A large historical solution corpus behind Similarity Check, plus leak detection on its own task library.
- Webcam and device proctoring, and years of enterprise security reviews already survived.
- A polished timed-test experience with a well-known, calibrated task library.
Where DevParser is stronger
- $2.64 per screen on Starter — 360 a year for $950 — against $10.00 at Codility Starter, where 120 invites cost $1,200.
- Volume where it starts to matter: Growth is 1,200 screens a year for $4,790, against roughly 300 invites for about $5,000 on Codility Scale.
- Codility deliberately does not let AI decide a flag. Neither do we — but we add what a similarity check cannot see: how the code arrived, keystroke by keystroke and commit by commit.
- ATS integration from the entry plan across 11 platforms and API access on Professional, where Codility puts integrations and SSO on Scale and above.
- Migrating is a paste, not a rebuild: hand us the take-home you already send and we pull out the description, requirements, test cases and starter code for you to check before anything is saved.
Which one to buy
Choose Codility if you screen with timed tests against a calibrated library, need proctoring, or want a similarity corpus built from millions of past submissions.
Choose DevParser if the work happens at home, you want the process trail alongside the test results, and 120 invites a year does not cover your pipeline.
