The modern alternative to Devpost
Devpost built the hackathon listing category 15 years ago and still has the largest audience in it. BuilderBase is what an organizer would build today: AI-assisted ops, sponsor ROI reporting, and pricing published up front.
The gaps organizers hit with Devpost
Modern AI-assisted infrastructure vs legacy listing
AI-assisted event ops (setup, screening, copilot)
Screening and setup are AI-assisted by default. On Devpost these stay manual jobs for your team.
Sponsor ROI dashboards + marketplace
Sponsors get a live dashboard, and can find your event through the marketplace. Devpost reports on submissions, not on what a sponsor got back.
10x features at transparent pricing
€999 per flagship event, printed on the pricing page. Devpost quotes custom, and organizers report five-figure totals.

What it actually costs.
Devpost still has the largest hackathon audience on the internet — 4M+ developers and 15 years of brand recognition that BuilderBase doesn't try to claim overnight. If pure reach to a huge public developer pool is the only thing you need, Devpost's directory delivers.
BuilderBase or Devpost?
Organizers who want AI-assisted screening, a sponsor ROI dashboard, and a platform that feels built in the last two years rather than the last fifteen.
Teams whose only goal is maximum public reach to Devpost's existing developer base and who don't need sponsor reporting or white-label branding.
