Our verdict
CodeMonkey suits parents who want a single subscription covering a child's coding, data and science practice, and it opens cheaply. Entry starts at $8, monthly billing runs $11 and the annual plan costs $96. The catch is the 5 days money back window.

Who it suits
- Parents of children starting out with coding at home
- Families wanting coding, data and science in one place
- Learners who prefer short self paced practice over live classes
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting to try a course at no cost, since there is no free tier
- Learners wanting a long cancellation window, because money back runs 5 days
- Adults looking for professional certificates, which the listed facts do not cover for this brand
What you get free
Nothing on CodeMonkey is free. The free tier is no, so there is no free class, no free app tier and no free trial on record for this brand. The only protection before a decision is made is the 5 days money back window in the terms of service, which is shorter than the 14-day median across the site. A parent weighing options will be comparing the $8 entry point against rivals that include a free option, such as Hotmart at $0, where entry is free. CodeMonkey sits on the paid side of that line, with the low entry price and the short refund window as the trade for it.
Core features
CodeMonkey is a subscription platform, and the subscription covers coding, data and science. Assessments are part of the package, which matters because 98.9% of comparable platforms also grade learners. A team plan is offered, so several children can be covered under the same arrangement, matching the 98.8% share of coding and data providers. The free tier is no, so the features begin the moment a subscription starts. Support runs on help centre alone, which sits behind the 54.8% share of platforms offering phone contact. The legal entity behind the terms is CodeMonkey Studios Ltd., and the company dates to 2014.
Plans and prices
CodeMonkey bills as a subscription with three figures a reader will meet: an entry point of $8, a monthly rate of $11 and an annual figure of $96. The entry point is the number that puts CodeMonkey in reach of a parent trying a first month cheaply, and it sits well under the €71.91 median subscription price across the site. Renewal is where the plan costs more in practice, because $96 works out above $11 per month once the yearly figure is spread across the year. That gap is the single thing to weigh before the next billing date, alongside the 5 days refund window. For comparison, DRCertifications starts at $19.99 and Academy for Health and Fitness at £25, so CodeMonkey remains the cheaper way in, and the annual figure keeps it there.

Frequently asked questions
How much does CodeMonkey cost to start?+
Entry starts at $8, billed monthly at $11, or as a year at $96. The monthly figure is the lower ongoing rate, so most families pay monthly first and decide on the annual plan later. The entry price is well under the €71.91 median subscription price on the site.
Is there a free version of CodeMonkey?+
No, the free tier is no, so every feature sits behind a paid subscription. There is no free trial on record for this brand either. The nearest thing to a safety net is the 5 days money back window in the terms of service, shorter than the 14-day median elsewhere on the site.
What happens to the price at renewal?+
Renewal is the point to watch. The annual figure of $96 works out above the monthly rate of $11 per month once spread across the year, so a family that keeps the subscription pays more per month than the monthly plan charges. Decide the billing period before the first renewal date.
Which subjects does the subscription cover?+
A single subscription covers coding, data and science, so coding sits alongside data and science rather than standing alone. That is a wider spread than a platform built around a single coding track. It suits a child whose interests are still shifting between technical subjects.
Can more than one child use a CodeMonkey subscription?+
Yes, a team plan is available, which is how households with several children cover them under one arrangement. Team plans are near standard in this category, appearing across 99.3% of comparable online course platforms, so the family discount is not unusual but is available here.
How do learners get assessed on CodeMonkey?+
Assessments are included in the subscription, so progress is graded rather than left to self checking. Almost all platforms in the same group do the same, with 98.9% including assessments. For younger learners this is the part that tells a parent whether practice is landing.
How do I get help from CodeMonkey?+
Support runs on help centre only, so answers come from self service articles rather than a live channel. That is a narrower setup than the 54.8% share of platforms that take calls. Parents may prefer a provider with a direct line if questions are frequent.
Is CodeMonkey a registered course provider?+
The terms of service name CodeMonkey Studios Ltd. as the provider, and the company has been running since 2014. The listing carries no separate licence, regulator or awarding body, so the assessment record inside the subscription is the main evidence of progress rather than an external credential.
