Like GP I was also confused and tried looking for a pricing page but failed. Seems like there isn't a link to it from https://app.codecrafters.io/catalog which is the site you go to if you click the big CodeCrafters logo in the top left of the page.

There is a "Subscribe" button which takes you to https://app.codecrafters.io/pay but I wasn't savvy enough to notice it or realize what it was.

Only after starting a course did I begin to suspect that I needed to subscribe since there were a bunch of locks all over. However, it was not clear that the locks actually did anything since I could still click on those links. I guess I would have found out after completing the first step and not being able to progress. This appears to be by design, which strikes me as slightly dishonest.

Thank you for pointing this out. It's not by design. We actually revised our marketing pages recently, and had a regression that got rid of the tooltip that explained what was free. We have a Linear task for fixing it back, but we weren't expecting this HN post today and so it wasn't the top of our list to fix :)

I've prioritised it now tho
