  The multipactor effect can lead to thermal breakdown (quench), high field emission and limited accelerating gradient in superconducting accelerator devices. To determine the multipactor breakdown power level, multipactor simulations can be performed. The objective of this study is to compare the results given by different simulation codes with the results of vertical testing of SRF cavities. In this paper, Spark3D, MUSICC3D and CST Studio PIC solver have been used to simulate the multipactor effect in Spoke cavity developed within the framework of MYRRHA project. Then, a benchmark of these three simulation codes has been made. The breakdown power level, the multipactor order and the most prominent location of multipactor are presented. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the measurements done during the vertical tests.
