CodeSignal's pricing starts at $99/mo (Build) and jumps to $599/mo (Grow). Pro needs a custom quote.
The credit system means the listed price isn't your real cost. Run out of credits partway through the month and you pay $20 for each extra one.
Your plan decides what features you get. Build blocks go-to-market assessments and full ATS integrations. You only get those with Grow or Pro.
TestTrick gives you every feature on every plan, starting at $49/mo. The only thing that changes between plans is how many credits and users you get.
Introduction
CodeSignal is a skills assessment platform built for technical hiring teams. It gives you coding assessments across 2,000+ questions, AI-powered interviews for technical and non-technical roles, and proctoring tools that flag cheating in real time.
Knowing what it actually costs matters just as much as knowing what it does. CodeSignal's pricing starts at $99 a month for Build. It jumps to $599 for Grow, and Pro sits behind a custom quote you only get after a sales call.
Those numbers are just the starting point. This article gives you a full breakdown of CodeSignal pricing, including where the credit system adds cost you won't see on the pricing page. That way, you can make an informed decision instead of guessing what you'll actually pay.
CodeSignal Pricing Plans Explained
CodeSignal runs three plans under its Hire product line. Two have public prices. One doesn't.
Build plan: $99 a month
Build is built for small teams making their first technical hires, and the credit count reflects that.
$99/mo, or $79/mo if you pay yearly
60 credits a year, about 5 assessments or interviews a month
Access to 2,000+ questions
Universal and core tech assessments
AI interviewers for product, design, and engineering roles
AI proctoring and ID verification
Grow Plan: $599 a month
Grow gives you more roles and a much higher credit limit on top of everything in Build.
$599/mo, or $479/mo if you pay yearly
420 credits a year, about 35 a month
Everything in Build
Go-to-market assessments
AI interviewers for sales, customer success, and marketing roles
Basic ATS integrations
Pro: The Custom Plan
Pro has no listed price. You need a sales call to get a number.
Custom credit amount
Every assessment and AI interviewer type
Advanced fraud prevention and role-based access control (RBAC), which controls who on your team can see what
Enterprise ATS integrations
A dedicated customer success manager with quarterly reviews
CodeSignal's assessments are well regarded across all three plans. One standout feature is keystroke replay. It lets you watch how a candidate actually worked through a problem, not just whether they got the right answer.
How CodeSignal's Credit System Actually Works
The monthly price only tells you part of the story. What matters just as much is how far your credits go.
What Counts as a Credit
Each plan comes with a set number of credits per month. That number is really a limit on how many candidates you can screen, not how many roles or tests you can set up.
What Happens When You Run Out of Credits
Go over your credit limit and CodeSignal charges you $20 for each extra credit. That applies to both Build and Grow, though Pro has no listed rate since its credits are custom. Twenty dollars a candidate adds up fast if you're hiring a lot at once.
Say your team uses up Build's 5 monthly credits halfway through the month. If you then need to screen 15 more candidates, that's $300 in extra charges. That's on top of the $99 base price, more than tripling your cost for that one hiring push.
Monthly vs. Yearly Billing
Paying yearly saves you about 20 percent on both self-serve plans: $79/mo instead of $99 on Build, $479/mo instead of $599 on Grow. That's a real discount if you're confident about your hiring volume for the year. It's a harder call if your hiring needs change from month to month, which is common for early-stage teams.
Here's the catch with yearly billing on a plan that caps your credits. If your hiring volume drops, you don't just miss out on savings, you also waste what you already paid for. Weigh that risk against the 20 percent discount before you commit to a full year.
Say you sign up for a year of Build at 60 credits, then slow down hiring for a quarter. You're still locked into the same spend. In most cases, you can't carry unused credits into next year's contract.
What CodeSignal's Pricing Doesn't Include
The credit count isn't the only thing that changes between plans. Features change too, and it's worth knowing what before you compare prices.
What's Different Between Build and Grow
Build covers universal assessments, core technical assessment categories, and basic coding tests. But data analytics, product management, and product design assessments are locked to Grow and above. Go-to-market assessments and AI interviewers for sales, customer success, and marketing roles are Grow-only too.
Build has no ATS integrations at all. Grow adds a basic version, and the full, enterprise-grade version only comes with Pro.
If you're hiring for roles outside core engineering, Build alone won't cover you. A team built around developer assessment tools specifically will hit that limit faster than a team hiring more broadly.
What Only Comes with Pro
These features are locked behind Pro. You won't find them at any listed price:
The full assessment library (100+ product, data, and engineering assessments)
Advanced fraud prevention
Role-based access control (RBAC)
Enterprise ATS integrations
A dedicated customer success manager with quarterly reviews
There's also no self-serve plan that includes everything. Even if you pay $599 a month for Grow, you still don't get enterprise ATS integrations, advanced fraud prevention, or the full assessment library. You'd need to move to Pro and work out a quote for that.
That's fine if you already know you need custom setup and a security review. It's a slower path if you're a mid-size team that just wants every feature at a fixed, published price.
In practice, the teams that end up on Pro are usually hiring at high volume across more than one department, not just engineering. A team hiring only for technical roles rarely needs RBAC or a dedicated account manager. A recruiting agency or enterprise HR team screening candidates for sales, support, and engineering roles at once usually does need it.
CodeSignal Pricing vs. TestTrick Pricing
CodeSignal's pricing has a real drawback: many of its best features sit behind a custom Pro quote. You can't just sign up for enterprise ATS integrations, advanced fraud prevention, or the full assessment library. TestTrick takes a different approach, giving you every feature on every plan, including Starter.
TestTrick is an all-in-one skills assessment platform built for both technical and non-technical roles. If you're a technical recruiter, you get a coding skills assessment with 12+ programming languages and code playback of how a candidate solved it. You also get AI-powered proctoring and built-in ATS integrations, instead of piecing together separate tools.
TestTrick's pricing runs on four monthly plans, and the features stay the same across all of them:
Starter: $49/mo, 50 credits, 3 users
Basic: $75/mo, 100 credits, 5 users
Business: $99/mo, 150 credits, 7 users
Enterprise: Custom credits and users
Every plan, including Starter, gives you ATS integrations, unlimited assessment creation, the full 500+ test library, AI-powered proctoring, and custom branding. The only thing that changes as you move up is how many credits and users you get.

The value gap shows up fastest when you look at the credit math. TestTrick's $99 Business plan gives you 150 monthly credits, thirty times more than CodeSignal's $99 Build plan, without locking away a single feature. Extra credits cost $2 on TestTrick versus $20 on CodeSignal.
That means scaling past your plan's limit stays predictable instead of turning into a much bigger bill.
What Each Price Point Actually Buys You
The price only means something once you know what it's built for.
What You Get at CodeSignal's Price Points
At $99/mo (Build), you get 5 monthly credits, core tech assessments, and AI proctoring. That works for a team making one or two technical hires a quarter, not a team hiring nonstop.
At $599/mo (Grow), you get 35 monthly credits plus go-to-market assessments. That fits a company hiring across engineering and revenue roles at a steady pace, still under 40 candidates a month before extra charges kick in.
At a custom Pro quote, you get the full assessment library, RBAC, and enterprise ATS integrations. That's usually a company hiring at high volume across several departments, where Grow's credit limit would run out within weeks.
What You Get at TestTrick's Price Points
At $49/mo (Starter), you get 50 monthly credits and every feature, including ATS integrations and AI proctoring. That works for a small team with more hiring volume than CodeSignal's Build plan can handle, at a lower starting price.
At $75/mo (Basic) or $99/mo (Business), your credits go up to 100 and 150 a month, with no change in features. That fits a growing team or agency handling a steady, higher volume of candidates without needing a custom deal.
At a custom Enterprise quote, your credit and user limits go up further, but you keep the same features as Starter. That's a large organization that wants to scale without renegotiating what's included every time hiring picks up.
Frequently Asked Questions About CodeSignal Pricing
CodeSignal pricing runs $99/mo for Build and $599/mo for Grow if you pay monthly, both cheaper if you pay yearly. Pro isn't publicly priced, so you'll need a custom quote from CodeSignal's sales team.
No. CodeSignal's paid plans start right away, and its pricing page sends you straight to a demo or sales call instead of a trial signup. TestTrick, on the other hand, gives you a talent assessment tool with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required on every plan, including Enterprise.
Yes. TestTrick starts at $49 a month and gives you AI proctoring, ATS integrations, candidate assessment reports, and the full test library on every plan.
Both platforms let you buy extra credits without upgrading your plan. CodeSignal charges $20 per extra credit on Build and Grow. TestTrick charges $2 per extra credit on every plan.
Final Thoughts on CodeSignal Pricing
CodeSignal pricing is easy to look up and easy to underestimate. The $99 and $599 prices only tell part of the story. What really decides your cost is how many candidates you screen each month and how close that gets to your credit limit.
Every credit past that limit costs $20. If you treat the listed price as your full budget, you'll find out otherwise by your second or third bill.
TestTrick takes a different approach. Every plan gives you every feature, and credit limits go up gradually across four plans. Extra credits also cost a tenth of what CodeSignal charges.
Start a 7-day free trial and run a real hiring pipeline through it before you commit to a plan. No credit card required, and no feature locked behind an upgrade.
