Codility is a corporate screening tool — companies use it to filter applicants with one-shot, auto-graded coding tests. That format is fine for employer triage, but it's not how real interviews work and it's not how candidates should prep.
Mockbit runs full mock interviews. Every session ends with a hire/no-hire verdict and rubric-level feedback — and there are first-class tracks for system design, ML engineering, and behavioral that Codility doesn't cover at all. Calibrated to your target company and level.

Codility is for employers. Mockbit is for candidates.
Codility's primary product is the corporate take-home test — companies use it to filter applicants. The candidate-facing surface is built around that DNA: timed, auto-graded, no narrative. If you're prepping for a real loop, you need a tool built from the candidate side.
Auto-grading misses what real interviewers grade on.
Codility scores correctness and runtime. Real interviewers also grade reasoning, communication, edge-case anticipation, complexity analysis, and recovery from blind alleys. Mockbit grades all of it — combined into one verdict that mirrors how loops actually score candidates.
Take-home tests don't simulate live interviews.
A Codility assessment is a one-shot test — solve, submit, done. A real interview is a conversation under pressure with an interviewer scoring how you think. Mockbit simulates the live format: time-bounded sessions with rubric-level feedback at the end, the same kind of debrief a hiring manager writes.
Most loops aren't just DSA anymore.
Senior loops include system design, behavioral, and (for ML/AI roles) ML engineering. Codility's coverage stops at DSA-style tasks. Mockbit covers all four tracks as first-class — calibrated for the level and company you're targeting.
Built for prep, not employer screening
Mockbit is candidate-side: every session is a graded mock interview ending with a hire/no-hire call and rubric notes — not a one-shot screening test.
Rubric-level feedback after every session
Specific notes on what to tighten — communication, edge cases, complexity reasoning — not just a numeric score.
Four tracks, calibrated to your loop
DSA, system design, ML engineering, and behavioral — each with its own rubric, calibrated for L3 through L6 at top-tier companies.
Real free tier
3 free DSA sessions, 2 free ML coding sessions, no credit card required. Find out if it fits before paying.
Is Mockbit free?
Yes. The free tier includes 3 DSA sessions, 2 ML coding sessions, and access to the public question bank. No credit card required.
How do I prepare for a Codility test?
Practice the patterns Codility tests on — arrays, strings, hashmaps, recursion, graphs, and dynamic programming — under realistic time pressure with hidden test cases. Mockbit's DSA track covers exactly these patterns and grades you against a senior-engineer rubric, which gets you fluent with the kind of pressure-solving Codility evaluates.
What is the best Codility alternative for interview prep?
Mockbit. Codility is built for employer screening, not candidate prep — it's a test, not a teacher. Mockbit is candidate-side: full mock-interview sessions with rubric feedback and a hire/no-hire verdict that mirrors how real loops score candidates.
Is Mockbit similar to Codility?
Both involve coding under time pressure with auto-grading, but the format and intent are different. Codility is a one-shot screening test. Mockbit is a repeatable mock-interview platform — you do many sessions, get rubric feedback after each, and track readiness over time.
Does Mockbit cover ML or system design?
Yes. Mockbit has dedicated tracks for ML engineering (NumPy challenges, ML system design, AI concept questions) and system design — each graded against a senior-engineer rubric. Codility doesn't meaningfully cover either.
Can I prep for a specific company with Mockbit?
Yes. Set your target company and level — questions and verdict thresholds calibrate for everything from L3/junior bars to L6/staff loops at Google, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other top-tier companies.
No account required. 3 free DSA sessions, 2 free ML coding sessions.
