What is the difference between Basic and Pro?

Codecademy Pro contains everything in Basic, plus all the advanced tools and content that you need to make your learning faster and more efficient. Pro provides you with hundreds of additional exercises, practice packs, and quizzes to help you sharpen your coding skills. Pro also contains real-world projects that train you to apply the skills you are learning in realistic scenarios.

Why should I upgrade to Codecademy Pro?

We built Codecademy Pro based on the lessons we’ve learned from teaching over 45 million people to code since 2011. If you’re ready to accelerate your learning and apply those skills to real-world scenarios, the Codecademy Pro is for you. Pro not only teaches you coding skills, but how to use those skills.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your Codecademy Pro account anytime, by visiting the “Account Settings” page (policy). You can also pause your subscription if you need to take a break.

Do I need to know how to code before signing up?

No, most of our users have zero experience when they sign up. Our curriculum is designed to teach anyone to learn to code.

What is a Path?

Paths are structured curriculum roadmaps that show you exactly where to start and what to learn next. We have Career Paths that teach the core skills of Computer Science, Data Science, and Web Development, as well as Skill Paths focused on more specialized, shorter-term goals. If you’re not sure where to start, we have a path for that too.

Is Codecademy suitable for children?

Yes. Codecademy is suitable for children who can read and type. Coding is just like learning a new language or studying math. Children who learn to code when they’re young can set themselves up for a lifetime of opportunities for success.
