Pricing That Scales With Your Ambition

AlgoArena has three plans. Free is $0 forever and covers unlimited battles, practice problems, the ranked ladder, $1 of builder AI credits per month, and Module 1 of Practical Vibecoding. Pro is $12.99/month and adds unlimited AI Analysis, Rena chat (30 conversations), mock interviews (8), and $8 of shared AI credits for Rena and the builder. Ultimate is $25.99/month with unlimited Rena chat sessions and mock interviews, $40 of shared AI credits, Student Copilot, and the full Practical Vibecoding course. Yearly billing saves about 36% on Pro and 30% on Ultimate.

Yes. The free plan is $0 forever with no credit card, and it includes unlimited battles, practice problems, the ranked ladder, and 3 AI Analyses of your solutions per month. Rena chat and mock interviews live on the paid plans, but you can compete and practice as much as you want without paying.

Rena is AlgoArena's built-in AI coach. It chats through problems with you as you solve them and runs full mock interviews so you can practice out loud before a real one. Rena chat (30 conversations per month) and mock interviews (8 per month) come with Pro, and Ultimate makes both unlimited by session count. On Ultimate, Rena also reads your code inside the Learn lessons: when a run does not pass, she looks at what you actually wrote and tells you what is going wrong, without writing the answer for you. The lessons themselves stay free on every plan. Rena chat and the builder share one monthly AI credit pool ($8 on Pro, $40 on Ultimate); when that pool runs out you can enable on-demand usage. The free plan still gets AI Analysis, automated feedback on your solutions after a match.

AI credits are the shared dollar pool that powers Rena chat and the builder. Free gets a one-time $1 for the builder only (no Rena chat): a single lifetime grant, not a monthly refill. Pro includes $8/mo and Ultimate includes $40/mo, both resetting each billing month while you stay subscribed. If you burn through the included pool on a paid plan, you can turn on on-demand usage with your own spend limit.

There are two paths. If your school, bootcamp, or club hands out an AlgoArena institution access code, you can redeem a free year of Ultimate right on this page, with no checkout and no credit card. If you teach a CS course, AlgoArena Classroom gives you live sessions, question variants, and per-student progress, and it is free during the current pilot.
