CodeInterview vs Hopp

CodeInterview is a technical assessment platform for interviewing and hiring developers. Candidates and interviewers solve coding problems together in a browser-based editor, with support for 40+ languages and frameworks across plans. Interviews can include video calling, a whiteboard, private notes, templates, and code playback. Playback records keystrokes and code output for later review. For screening, candidates can complete tests and take-home projects with deadlines, time limits, and real-time updates. A Chrome extension creates and shares interview links from the browser. API and webhook connections can automate tasks, while ATS integration is listed for Enterprise. CodeInterview states that it is SOC 2 certified and GDPR-compliant. After an interview, candidates are locked out, leaving notes and playback accessible to the team. The free plan includes two interviews per month. A 14-day trial provides access to all features without a credit card. The service is available through the web, an extension, and an API; chat and email support are listed for every plan.

Hopp is an open-source screen-sharing and remote pair-programming app for developers and engineering teams. Participants can control another person’s computer with keyboard and mouse, with stated latency under 100 ms; rooms hold up to 10 people. Screen sharing defaults to 4K and can cover any application on screen. Shared cursors, drawing, and annotations support collaborative work, while the app also advertises active noise-cancelling audio and a Slack integration for starting calls. Teams can self-host Hopp on their own infrastructure using the repository’s self-hosting guide and Docker Compose setup, or use Hopp Cloud for $15 a month, billed at $15 per user each month with unlimited calls. A dedicated single-tenant private cloud option is also available, with pricing by discussion. Listed platforms include macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted use. Hopp lists a support guarantee of less than one day. Its privacy policy says it uses commercially acceptable safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security.
