HackerRank vs TestUP

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.

TestUP is a web-based tool for pre-employment candidate assessment. Employers can create positions, schedule tests, send candidates links, and review performance. Its test database includes skills and personality assessments, with recommendations based on industry and role. The Candidate Dashboard compares applicants across criteria such as skipped questions, while Applicant Score Analysis reports correct and skipped answers, time spent per question, and comparisons with averages. Users can request a Contributor account to upload tests that TestUP says remain private to their company. A Career Widget can display openings on a company website, and each test has a link for external job postings. The 30-day trial includes all pre-employment testing features and requires no credit card information. Each detailed employment test assigned to a candidate uses one credit. All plans list online reporting 24/7; the Free plan also includes monthly email reports, while paid plans list custom email reports. The Free plan costs nothing and includes no credits; paid plans start at $49 a month with 10 credits.
