You are signing CodeSignal’s standard Master Subscription Agreement unless you negotiate changes.

Published plans run from $79 to $479 a month, billed yearly

CodeSignal sells interviews through prepaid units it calls credits. A credit is used when a candidate starts an assessment, an AI interview or a live interview. An unopened invitation costs nothing. When your included credits run out, extra credits cost $20 each.

Build costs $79 a month billed yearly and includes 60 credits a year. That works out to about $16 a credit. Grow costs $479 a month billed yearly and includes 420 credits a year, about $14 a credit. Paying monthly costs more. Build is $99 a month for 5 credits a month, about $20 a credit. Grow is $599 a month for 35 credits a month, about $17 a credit. These figures assume one credit for each started interview. Ask CodeSignal how many credits each interview type uses.

Build includes the Product, Design and Engineering AI Interviewers, AI supervised tests and the ID check. Grow adds the Sales, Customer Success and Marketing AI Interviewers and basic applicant tracking system links. Pro is quoted. It covers all assessments and AI Interviewers, stronger fraud prevention, role-based access and links for large tracking systems. Single sign-on, audit logs, a custom data contract and bias audits sit in the Pro list.

Build suits companies with fewer than 100 employees. Grow suits companies with fewer than a few hundred. Check your own headcount against those ranges. CodeSignal can change its prices without prior notice. The price in your order form holds for the term of that order.

When an order ends, CodeSignal returns or destroys your data within 30 days, at your expense. It keeps one backup a day for a year. Data from ID checks and supervised tests is stored and deleted within 15 days. Other candidate data is typically kept for the length of the subscription. You can change that and ask for one-off deletions. Either side can end the agreement on 30 days’ written notice for an uncured breach.

Eight questions to ask CodeSignal before you sign

1. How many credits does each kind of interview use, and how many do we get on our plan? Good answer: A written table of credits per interview type, in the order form.
2. Do the trial-period side-by-side scoring and group-difference study cost extra, and how is the top plan priced? Good answer: A price for each, written into the quote.
3. Will you change the contract’s definition of services to cover the roles we hire for? Good answer: Yes, in the order form, with the roles named.
4. Will you give us the full results of the side-by-side scoring and the group-difference study? Good answer: The full results in writing, ours to keep and to share with an auditor.
5. What does the video interview report score about body language and presence, and can we switch that part off? Good answer: A list of every item scored and a setting to remove any item.
6. If we use an applicant tracking system, which fields reach it? Can we hold back the score? What happens to a result that fails an ID check? Good answer: A named list per system, and a clear rule for a failed ID check.
7. Where is candidate data processed, and will you limit your own use of what candidates give you? Good answer: A named country for every step, and a written limit on any other use.
8. What do we get back when service falls short, and how do we export our data when we leave? Good answer: A remedy beyond the credit, and a file export at no charge within 30 days.

Alternatives to CodeSignal

The alternatives to CodeSignal are HackerRank, HireVue, HeyMilo and Apriora. Buying nothing is the fifth route.

HackerRank is the closest match. Its AI interviewer, Chakra, runs live voice interviews for technical and non-technical roles. It opens a live workspace where the candidate does real work. Reports give a score from 0 to 5 overall and for each section, with a transcript. Chakra links to Greenhouse, Ashby and Workday. HackerRank prices it per interview attempt with volume discounts. Chakra is an add-on for select enterprise customers. HackerRank’s separate Screen product has plans with 120 attempts a year on Starter and 300 on Pro. TechCrunch reported that Chakra became generally available on 5 October 2026, after about six months in beta. Under its AI Addendum, HackerRank will not use customer data to train its AI features. Its AI Feature Terms let it train on AI content that is aggregated and anonymous. Its terms forbid using the AI to make automated decisions without enough human review.

HireVue announced its AI Interviewer on 18 June 2026. It interviews every applicant by voice at any hour. HeyMilo screens and interviews every applicant by voice, video, text message and forms, in more than 20 languages. High-volume hiring teams use it. Apriora, sold as Alex, automates interviewing, screening, scheduling and verification of candidates.

Buying nothing means your team keeps the first round. With CodeSignal, the same team considers more applicants. If your team already interviews everyone who applies, that gain is smaller.
