Codecademy plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Plus | $17.49/month | 4 | +$17.49/month, 4 more features |
| Pro | $29.99/month | 4 | +$12.5/month, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Codecademy in for learn to code, career transition, skill building, portfolio projects. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Codecademy are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Codecademy
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $29.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Codecademy runs on web, and is published by Codecademy of New York, New York. The full record is on the Codecademy review.
Codecademy pricing questions
- How much does Codecademy cost?
- Codecademy publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to $29.99/month for Pro. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Codecademy have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers basic courses, interactive lessons, community. Paying starts at $17.49/month for Plus.
- What is the difference between Free and Plus on Codecademy?
- Plus costs $17.49/month against Free, and adds all courses, projects, quizzes, career paths.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is everything in plus, interview prep, real-world projects, professional certificates. It costs $29.99/month against $17.49/month for Plus. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Codecademy?
- The record lists 14 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for learn to code, career transition, skill building.
- Does Codecademy charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Codecademy prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Codecademy against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Codecademy to make a useful price comparison.
