beecrowd vs HackerRank

beecrowd is a web and API platform for practicing programming and connecting with opportunities. Users solve problems in languages including Python, Java, C++, Kotlin, and Rust, earn ranking points, unlock badges, and participate in open contests. The Academic offering lists AI-generated custom exercises and test cases, plus automated translation into English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Institutional Academic features include support for multiple professors, centralized data management, and LMS integration through LTI 1.3/Advantage, with single sign-on and automatic movement of grades and exercise results. The Academic Free individual plan costs nothing and includes one active subject, up to 20 students per subject, and 2,500+ programming challenges. Contest creation can be requested by contacting support at least seven working days ahead. API access requires a request to the beecrowd team and HTTPS; each application has a default limit of 100 requests per hour, which may change. Authorized applications can access problem information and, with user authorization, profiles and submissions. Code cannot currently be compiled directly on the portal.

HackerRank helps companies attract, hire, and upskill developers, while also supporting a developer community. Its Screen product offers take-home technical assessments for evaluating applicants in the hiring funnel. Teams can use role-based Certified Assessments or generate a test from an uploaded job description. Screen includes a suspicious-activity model, a proctor, and identity and multiple-face monitoring. HackerRank APIs can automate test administration, interviews, user and team management, candidate data, and question retrieval. Integration categories include ATS, scheduling, talent intelligence, SSO, and productivity tools. The HackerRank for Work platform supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on Windows and macOS, plus Safari on macOS; a desktop app is available for Windows and macOS, including Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. HackerRank says its AWS platform complies with ISO 27001 and other listed security standards, and that redundant data centers provide 99.9% service availability. The Starter plan is $165 a month, billed $1,990 billed annually, with one user and 120 attempts per year; additional attempts cost $20. Pro is $375 a month, billed $4,490 billed annually.
