DOMjudge vs HackerRank

DOMjudge is a free system that automatically evaluates programming contest submissions and provides web interfaces for teams, juries, and the public. It is designed mainly for contests such as ICPC, where teams work on site against a fixed problem set and time frame. Judging can run across multiple judge hosts, and the system is designed to scale. Administrator tools support rejudging, clarifications, and detailed submission and judging information. A modular structure allows languages or compilers to be added, while a JSON REST API implements the ICPC Contest API with extensions, except for the optional team-members endpoint. DOMjudge imports Kattis Problem Tool packages, and Polygon2DOMjudge converts Codeforces Polygon exports. You can download and run it yourself; official Docker images are available for the domserver and judgehost. The listed latest stable release is version 9.0.1, dated 11 June 2026.

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. A free plan and free trial are available.
