14 comparison points
HackerRank Screen and Interview are shown separately from its autonomous interviewer, Chakra. They share a vendor and attempt pool. “Not verified” means the documentation reviewed does not establish that particular capability, not that it is absent. “Show differences” hides rows supported by all four; their implementation details may still differ.

Compare platform fees, then compare the interview. Competitor attempts can cover different formats and lengths; they are not guaranteed equivalents of this 45-minute round. Human interviewer and review time are excluded. Lowest-cost plan selection does not match enterprise features.
CodeSignal charges for started sessions; HackerRank counts completed attempts. Each stage can consume a credit. HackerRank and Chakra share one plan, not two subscriptions. Annual calculations use pooled yearly credits and 12 months at your entered volume. Pricing sources and assumptions
Published starting plans: CodeSignal Build $99/month for 5 credits or $948/year for 60; HackerRank Starter $99/month for 5 attempts or $948/year for 60. Higher plans can become more economical as volume grows. See primary pricing sources.
03 / The evidence
See how EasyInterview explains an evaluation: what the candidate demonstrated, where they needed help, and what to investigate next. The coding excerpt includes limitations and deductions, not just a headline score.
An anonymized excerpt from a completed 35-minute coding interview, with question-level reasoning, rubric scores, and deductions.
An illustrative system design report showing architecture reasoning and areas to probe next.
The real coding session ran for 35 minutes, so it demonstrates report structure rather than the exact duration of the 45-minute offer. Candidate identity and private media are excluded. A real system-design report will replace the labelled example when available.

A few useful answers
The offer on this page covers one 45-minute AI technical video interview, with the relevant coding or whiteboard workspace and an in-depth evaluation report. GST is extra. Discuss your role and round configuration in a demo. This is a page-specific offer; existing account plans and other products have separate pricing.
Chakra is HackerRank’s AI interviewer. We show it separately to distinguish an autonomous interview from HackerRank Screen and human-led Interview. Published HackerRank plans share attempts across these products, so the calculator uses one HackerRank + Chakra cost, not two subscriptions.
Yes. CodeSignal offers an AI Interviewer and AI video avatars, alongside technical assessments and live interviews. Its live product includes coding and whiteboarding. Features documented for a human-led live interview should not automatically be assumed to work in an autonomous AI interview; the matrix identifies those distinctions.
No. The result depends on volume, billing commitment, exchange rate and the required features. Included competitor credits can be economical at low volumes. Use the calculator to inspect the actual plan and overage arithmetic, then compare interview length and evidence. Subscription attempts do not guarantee an equivalent 45-minute technical round.
Yes. The coding sample is an anonymized excerpt from a completed 35-minute interview. It preserves the evaluation, including limitations and deductions, while excluding candidate identity and private recordings. The system-design example is explicitly illustrative. The full 45-minute demo recording will be linked here when available.
We do not have an independent, controlled benchmark of these platforms. A feature list cannot establish assessment accuracy, latency or reliability. Pilot the same role, rubric and sample of candidates across your shortlist, then compare completion, code-run reliability, interviewer response time, scoring agreement and recruiter review time.
