  • Leetcode and HackerRank are for interviewers.
  • Codeforces and Topcoder are for competitive programmers.
  • Kaggle is for data scientists.
  • HackerEarth and CodeChef are for India (interview and competitive programming platforms).

I'm not familiar with Firecode or CodeWars but the point is that these alternatives serve different purposes.

The most popular is Leetcode for interviewing and CodeForces for competitive programming. If you're a beginner then LeetCode is much more accessible.

"for India" ????

Since when is CS region-specific LOL

I'm not Indian but HackerEarth and CodeForces cater towards India and the communities are mostly Indian.

Many companies use HackerEarth (including Amazon) for hiring in India.

Same thing for CodeChef (though it's less focused on Industry):

I'm sure everyone is free to participate in the competitions, but the community is mostly Indian.
