LeetCode vs HackerRank vs AlgoExpert vs Codility – Which platform is right for you

I hope you are a programmer or software developer. That is why you are reading this to find out the best platform to practice coding. It seems to be difficult to opt out the best from many other options available but it will become easy if you exactly define to yourself which type of practice you want to do. 

LeetCode, AlgoExpert, Codility and HackerRank all of these platforms give you a free environment to practice coding and to learn new things related to it.

Both HackerRank and LeetCode are very popular platforms but the other two are getting fame with time. First two are used commonly for preparing interviews and coding tests and the other two are also for this purpose. Let’s talk about the differences between these platforms.

Overview of LeetCode

Exactly, we are talking about coding then it is obvious that LeetCode is a platform which can help you in getting better in coding. It provides you a way for learning new things in coding. You can also practice questions here and join coding communities for making yourself up to date. It also helps in preparing coding related interviews with job perspectives. And it is now giving you support in 14 programming languages. It has around 19 Million visits in a month on its main site as you can see:

Hackerrank

It is also a platform similar to LeetCode which is used as a large scale coding community. It has less usage rate compared to LeetCode but it is emerging very fast. 

It also provides you with many programming related questions with answers for practice.  It is not as good when we talk about preparing for an interview; however it is free to use but also has a premium plan.

Algoexpert

It will not be good to compare it with previous two platforms but you can try it out if you have a low budget. It is just providing you problems and solutions in 9 Programming languages. But it’s premium plan is very cheap when compared to other pl;atforms.

I would also like to tell you that it does not have as much credibility as other coding platforms have. 

Codility

It is similar to HackerRank and also has less credibility. Even though it has half of the credibility of HackerRank, many of its users say that it is better than HackerRank. Codility is basically for passing the Codility exam so that you can get a licence or proof showing that you have passed the Codility test.
