How it compares on our data
On entry price AlgoMonster sits in the middle of the field, ranking 132 of 220 brands compared on price from. On the yearly figure it ranks much better, at 22 of 78. That gap is the main reason to look here: the yearly rate is competitive even though the headline entry price is not among the cheapest. The subscription model is the same shape that 40% of the coding and data comparison uses, so renewal terms are the part worth reading closely before you commit.
Core features
The catalogue runs to 6 courses, which is a deliberately narrow set rather than a broad library. A free tier is available, so the material can be opened before any payment. Each subscription covers 12 months of access, giving a clear limit on how long you can work through the courses. Assessments are part of the package, matching the pattern across coding and data brands, where 97.6% include them. The subject focus is coding, so learners after business, design or language material will find nothing here.
Plans and prices
AlgoMonster sells access rather than individual courses, with entry fees of $99. The yearly rate is listed at $99, so the two figures sit at the same level. There is no separate course purchase and no per-certificate charge to add on. Because the plan is a subscription, the 12 months of access is the term to plan around, and the same yearly figure is what you weigh at renewal. A free tier gives a way to judge the material before paying anything.

Frequently asked questions
How much does AlgoMonster cost to start?+
Entry fees are listed at $99. The same figure applies to the yearly rate of $99, so there is no lower annual rate to hunt for. A free tier is available, which means you can open the coding material and decide without paying anything first.
How long does a subscription last?+
Each subscription covers 12 months of access. That is the term to plan around rather than a course-by-course purchase, and it is worth checking the same figure again at renewal, since the yearly rate stays listed at $99. Plan name stays the same across both figures.
How many courses are included?+
The catalogue holds 6 courses, all in the coding subject area. That is a narrow set by design, and it sits well below the median catalogue size of 240,000 titles across the brands compared here. Learners who want several subjects in one place should look wider.
Is there a free tier or free trial?+
A free tier is available, so you can try the coding material before paying. Free tiers appear on 60% of the brands in the coding and data comparison, so this is a common feature rather than a distinguishing one.
Does AlgoMonster include assessments?+
Assessments are included with the subscription. That matches the coding and data category, where 97.6% of brands set assessments. You also get 12 months of access, so the assessed work fits inside the subscription term.
What support can I get if I am stuck?+
Support runs on email and community, which covers email and community channels. No live chat or phone line is listed, so time sensitive questions depend on an email reply. Phone support appears on 48.5% of the coding and data group, so it is worth checking other brands if that matters.
Is AlgoMonster a subscription or a course marketplace?+
It is a subscription platform, listed as subscription. Subscriptions account for 40% of the coding and data comparison. That means you pay for access over 12 months rather than buying individual courses.
Does AlgoMonster suit learners outside coding?+
The subject coverage is limited to coding. There is no business, design or language material, so learners who want several subjects in a single subscription should compare broader platforms such as Hotmart, whose entry fees are listed from $0.
How does AlgoMonster compare on price with other platforms?+
On entry fees of $99, AlgoMonster ranks 132 of 220 brands compared on that figure. On the yearly rate of $99 it ranks much closer to the front, at 22 of 78, which is the more useful number to weigh at renewal.
