NeetCode Pricing (2026): Plans, Free Access, and What You Actually Get

Mostly yes. NeetCode's Blind 75, NeetCode 150 and NeetCode 250 lists are free, with a free video solution for every problem. NeetCode Pro costs $119 for one year or $297 for lifetime access as of October 14, 2026, shown against struck-through prices of $199 and $599. Pro adds the video courses, 300+ in-browser problems, NeetBot AI hints and company tags. For company-tagged questions without paying, PracHub is free to start with an optional paid tier, and most of its questions are free.

Quick Verdict

Choose NeetCode Pro when you learn best from long video courses and will actually work through the 300+ in-browser problems with AI hints. Buy the one-year plan, not lifetime, and wait for a sale if you can.

Choose PracHub when you already know the patterns and need to know what a specific company asks now: as of October 2026, more than 8,000 of its more than 12,000 real, recently asked questions are free to open, and you can browse them by company and role.

Most buyers should skip lifetime. The math is below.

NeetCode Plans and Prices (2026)

Source: the NeetCode Pro page, checked October 14, 2026.

Both plans buy the same Pro content. As of October 2026 the Pro page lists 200+ videos, 300+ practice problems in a browser editor with test cases, solutions in 8 languages (Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, C#, Go, Swift and Kotlin), NeetBot hints and debugging with a side-by-side diff of the fix, company-tagged problems it says cover 100+ companies, cloud sync, a private Discord and all future content updates. The course catalog holds 2 DSA courses of about 25 hours each, 2 system design courses of about 10 hours each, 3 Python courses, SQL for Beginners, Full Stack Development and 2 object-oriented design courses. Pro also adds a voice mock interview with an AI-scored debrief, capped at 3 sessions a day even for paying users.

At list price, lifetime breaks even at about two and a half years. $297 divided by $119 is 2.5. Two separate one-year passes at list cost $238, still $59 less than lifetime. If the reported $47 to $50 flash sales on the one-year plan (covered below) recur, lifetime takes about six years to pay off. It only wins if you would otherwise buy a third year at list, for example because you change jobs every couple of years and want the courses each time. Purchases are also tied to the account you buy with and cannot be moved to another person or email.

The struck-through prices are not proof of a discount. NeetCode's public pages do not say whether $599 or $199 was ever charged. The Pro page loads its active sale campaign in the browser, so the sale schedule is not visible either.

Third-party price quotes drift. Lodely's review from September 12, 2026 quoted lifetime at $219, which does not match the $297 on the Pro page on October 14, 2026. Check the live page before you budget.

What You Get for Free

The free tier is the core of NeetCode. As of October 14, 2026 it covers:

• The three study lists (Blind 75, NeetCode 150, NeetCode 250), each problem with a video explanation.
• The DSA roadmap and progress tracking.
• 11 free lessons and cheat sheets in the course catalog.
• The written Online Assessment practice mode and the public Discord.

Pro-only: the video courses, the 300+ premium in-browser problems, NeetBot hints and debugging, company-tag filters, cloud sync, the voice mock interview and the private Discord.

Two things NeetCode does not publish. First, the exact number of problems a free account can run in the browser and which list items are Pro-gated; those counts load client-side and are not in the served pages. Lodely's review counts the missing code editor on the free tier as a con: you solve on LeetCode in another tab. Second, how the homepage's 1,000+ practice problems square with the Pro page's 300+; the public pages never reconcile the two numbers.

The company tags deserve the same caution. Only 13 company practice pages appear in NeetCode's public sitemap as of October 14, 2026 (Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, TikTok, Uber, Walmart, Adobe, Oracle, Bloomberg, LinkedIn, Goldman Sachs). The 100+ companies figure on the Pro page could not be verified from public pages, and the site does not say whether tagged problems are real reported questions or LeetCode-style problems labeled by company.

Hidden Costs and Billing Terms

Refunds are effectively off the table. Its own Terms say "We generally do not offer refunds because our content is consumable." A refund happens only in rare circumstances, at NeetCode's discretion, through NeetCode support. No trial, money-back window or prorated refund is stated. NeetCode's position is that the free content is the trial. Treat a Pro purchase as final.

Cancelling does not refund anything. The Terms say disabling auto-renewal or cancelling does not produce a refund. One-Year Access has auto-renew off by default, so there is nothing to cancel and no surprise second-year charge.

No student discount. The Pro page says so directly as of October 2026.

Sharing can cost you the account. Accounts are personal and can be restricted or terminated if shared. Splitting a lifetime plan with a friend risks the whole purchase, and since purchases cannot be transferred, buy with an email you will still own in five years, not a university address.

Flash sales may beat the list price by more than half. A third-party bootcamp directory relays Reddit threads from September 2026 and late 2025 describing the one-year plan on sale at $47 and $50. That is secondhand; the threads themselves could not be reached. If it holds, paying $119 at list means overpaying by about $70.

Promo codes: none here. This page has no NeetCode promo code to share and will not invent one. Watch for a sale instead. Regional pricing is also unknown: the Pro page's code references a UPI payment option for India, but no regional price is published.

Signing up opts you into email. The Terms grant NeetCode permission to send email communications, and you unsubscribe from promotional mail yourself.

Is NeetCode Worth the Price?

Pro is worth it for one kind of candidate: someone early in DSA prep who learns from long-form video, wants a 25-hour course rather than a problem list, and will use the in-browser editor and NeetBot daily for a few months. For that person, one year at a sale price is a reasonable spend. Lifetime is hard to justify unless you expect several interview cycles.

It is not worth it if you already know the core patterns and your gap is company-specific: what Meta or Google is asking this quarter, and the non-LeetCode rounds such as debugging a codebase or designing a small service. The free lists already teach the patterns, and the refund policy means a wrong guess costs the full price. Our NeetCode Pro review goes feature by feature; this page sticks to price.

When NeetCode wins

• You are learning DSA from scratch and want a structured roadmap with a free video for every list problem.
• You want long video courses (DSA, system design, Python, SQL, OOD) and prefer one payment to a subscription.
• You want to practice generic LeetCode-style problems in the browser in eight languages with AI hints and a code diff when stuck.
• Your budget is zero: the free tier covers all three curated lists and their videos, and the paid tier does not renew by default.

Cheaper Ways to Get the Same Outcome

The outcome is passing a coding loop at a named company, and that needs two things: the patterns, which NeetCode's free lists cover, and the questions that company asks now, which is where PracHub comes in. As of October 14, 2026, PracHub has more than 12,000 real, recently asked questions across more than 550 companies, and more than 8,000 of them (about 69%) are free. More than 4,100 are coding and algorithms questions and more than 1,200 are software engineering fundamentals. More than 7,000 have an in-depth written solution.

The biggest companies on NeetCode's public company pages are also PracHub's deepest banks. As of October 14, 2026, PracHub has more than 1,200 Meta questions, more than 850 from Amazon, more than 600 from Google, more than 300 from Uber and more than 290 from TikTok.

Three recent examples, all free to open:

Asked at Meta: Shortest 8-Directional Clear Path Across a Binary Grid Find the shortest route through open cells from one corner of a square grid to the other, moving in any of eight directions, or report that none exists. The pattern is plain BFS; what PracHub adds is knowing it came up at Meta recently.

Asked at ByteDance: Maximize total catch over K hours from ponds whose yield drops after each hour You have a fixed number of hours and several ponds whose hourly catch falls each time you fish them; maximize the total. It came up in a machine learning engineer loop, so ML candidates should not assume they will skip coding.

Asked at Google: Implement a URL router that matches request paths against patterns with placeholders Register route patterns that contain placeholders, then return the pattern that matches a concrete request path. It is not a named-pattern problem; it tests whether you can design and code a small component cleanly.

A cheaper workflow if you already learn from the free videos:

1. Pick one free list and finish it with the free videos. If you are unsure which, our Grind 75 vs Blind 75 vs NeetCode 150 comparison picks one. To run the Blind 75 problems in a coding console, PracHub has all 75 Blind 75 problems free.
2. Two to three weeks before the loop, switch to your target company's recent coding questions; start from the company list.
3. Cover the rounds lists skip (debugging, small-system implementation) with engineering fundamentals questions.
4. Buy Pro only if you still want the long courses after step 1, and wait for a sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NeetCode free?

Mostly. As of October 14, 2026, the Blind 75, NeetCode 150 and NeetCode 250 lists are free with a video solution for every problem, along with the DSA roadmap, progress tracking, the public Discord and the written OA practice mode. Video courses, the 300+ premium in-browser problems, NeetBot AI hints, company-tag filters and the voice mock interview need NeetCode Pro.

How much is NeetCode Pro in 2026?

When checked on October 14, 2026, NeetCode Pro cost $119 for One-Year Access or $297 one-time for Lifetime, shown against struck-through prices of $199 and $599. One-Year Access does not auto-renew by default. Both plans include the same Pro content.

Is NeetCode Lifetime worth it over One-Year Access?

Only if you expect to want Pro for more than two and a half years at list price. $297 is 2.5 times $119, so two separate one-year passes at list still cost $59 less than lifetime, and at the reported $47 to $50 sale prices lifetime takes about six years to pay off. Purchases are also tied to one account and cannot be transferred.

Does NeetCode offer refunds?

Rarely. NeetCode's Terms say it generally does not offer refunds because its content is consumable, and grants one only in rare circumstances at its discretion through NeetCode support. Cancelling or turning off auto-renewal does not produce a refund.

Is there a NeetCode promo code or discount?

This page has no promo code to share and will not invent one, and NeetCode's Pro page says it offers no student discount (October 2026). A third-party directory relays Reddit reports of the one-year plan selling for $47 to $50 in flash sales, so waiting for a sale may save more than half the $119 list price.

What is a free alternative to NeetCode Pro?

Pair NeetCode's free lists and videos for the patterns with PracHub for company-specific practice. As of October 2026, more than 8,000 of PracHub's more than 12,000 real, recently asked interview questions are free to open, organized by company and role, and it is free to start with an optional paid tier.

Final Verdict

NeetCode's free tier is its main product. Blind 75, NeetCode 150 and NeetCode 250 with a video for every problem cost nothing, and for learning patterns that is enough.

Pro, at $119 for a year or $297 for lifetime as of October 2026, sells the video courses plus an in-browser editor with AI hints. Buy the one-year plan on sale if you want the courses. Skip lifetime unless you expect three or more years of interviewing, and remember refunds are discretionary.

If your real gap is knowing what your target company asks now, start with the coding questions on PracHub, most of them free to open.
