Continuous learning and keeping himself up-to-date with the latest technologies is the biggest challenge of Programming career, and that's why serious developers are always looking to level up their technical skills.

Being an author of a Java blog and editor of a Medium publication, I receive a lot of queries from Programmers and Developers. Many of my readers ask me about advice like which books to learn to code, which is the best site to learn to code?

Where should I go for preparing coding interviews and much more? One of the questions which keep coming to me was about Pluralsight and Codecademy? like which site is better to learn new tech skills and level up your current skill?

这是一个非常重要的问题，因为学习是专业程序员职业必不可少的一部分。如果您不学习新事物或不提升自己，那么您将丢在工作和职业上。

I constantly advise my readers and fellow programmers to invest some time and money on learning to keep themselves up-to-date with some platforms like Udemy, Coursera, OneMonth, Codecademy, Lynda.com, Treehouse, and Pluralsight, many of them have asked me which platform they should choose between Codecademy and Pluralsight?

While choosing between Udemy vs Pluralsight is easy because one is a marketplace of courses, and you literally buy the direction you want and only pay for that, Pluralsight has a subscription-based model and joining Pluralsight means you get access to all of there 5000+ online courses, quizzes, assessments and much more.

您无需选择和购买课程，您只需一个订阅即可从字面上学所有想要的课程，这很方便。

But, when it comes to Codecademy and Pluralsight, both of them are very similar when it comes to payment and money, as both of them offer subscription-based models, but there are still some critical differences between them, which we'll explore in this article. Btw, If you buy any paid plans then I'll also get paid.

Pluralsight vs Codecademy --- Which is better for Programmers?

I'll give you three criteria to compare Pluralsight and Codecademy. These points will then help you to make a decision on which is the best online platform to learn new technologies based upon your interest and learning style.

1.Learning Style (Interactive reading vs. Watching videos)

The first and foremost difference between Pluralsight and Codecademy is the learning style or teaching style. Codecademy is 100% interactive, where you will be doing things while reading or learning. You will have information and practice console on the same screen, which literally encourages you to learn by doing.

尽管这很棒，但并非总是可以在在线学习时进行练习。例如，当我旅行或上下班时，我更喜欢看在线视频，而不是在终端上编码。

不仅让我看视频更舒服，而且我更倾向于坐在公共汽车或火车上收听。因此，如果您想最好地利用通勤时间并学习新技术，Pluralsight提供了很多课程。

Since learning by doing is the best method of learning, and if you also prefer that, then Codecademy is a better choice than Pluralsight. But, if you prefer to watch videos, want to utilize your travel time better, and practice coding later in-home or office, than Pluralsight is a better choice for you.

2. Content and Course Quality

When it comes to content, particularly the amount of content, Pluralsight clearly outscores Codecademy. Pluralsight has more than 5000+ courses to learn almost anything from programming languages like Java, C++, Go, Swift, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, C, C#, frameworks like Django, Flask, Spring, Spring Boot, Rails, .NET, and skills like SQL, Database, Data Science, Machine Learning, Linux and much more.

You can literally find a course to learn almost anything you want, including SVN and Git and some ancient and modern tools as well like Docker, Jenkins, Maven, Kubernetes, Gradle, WebPack, NPM, etc.

Another thing is that Pluralsight courses are mostly taught by experts in their area, which means you learn right from the authority. If you check Pluralsight instructor's profile you will find several renowned professionals there like [José Paumard], one of the Java champions has a course on Java Multithreading and Concurrency there.

[Richard Warburton] is another Java Champion who has written Java Collection courses on Pluralsight. Then you have courses from [Samer Buna], [Scott Allen], [Pinal Dave], and many other experts.

While Codecademy doesn't have that many courses or skill path, it has a cleverly designed curriculum for most of the essential skills like w ^eb Development, Programming and Computer Science, Machine Learning and Data Science, and much more.

Their courses on Programming languages like Learn Java, Learn C++, Learn Python 3, and Learn Go are also impressive. They have in fact created the Learn Go course together with Google, which makes it a really awesome and fun course. You learn by doing; you get instant feedback, which reinforces learning.

This means while Pluralsight provides you a one-stop-shop to learn any programming language, framework, tools, and technology, Codecademy has an ala-a-carta of some of the most popular skills. It's a unique learning methodology, and the interactive platform also helps.

当我在内容上时，让我指出我不喜欢的关于Pluralsight的一件事。有些课程非常古老，您最好远离它们。

Since Pluralsight has so many courses and more up-to-date ones there are also courses lying from 2011 nad 2012, which is kind of old and not relevant anymore. This is not a decisive factor because they literally have many options but something worth knowing.

Pluralsight also have well defined Skills path which is very good to learn related skills in quick time. They also provide IQ tests which you can use to find out how much you know about a particular skills and where are you compared to peers and fellow developers around the world. You can take their free assesment here to see how you stack up.

3. Price or Cost

When it comes to price, Codecademy is slightly less expensive than Pluralsight. The Codecademy Pro membership will cost you around $15.99 per month (billed as $191.88 yearly), which gives you $48 of saving, and that's also there most popular option.

他们还有一个6个月的计划，每月费用约为17.99美元，一个月的计划，每月费用约为19.99美元，但按月和月度收费。

他们的付费计划提供了访问独家测验，项目和自定义学习路径以及社区支持的权限，因为您有机会与其他Pro成员联系以进行协作，共享资源等。

Here is a snapshot of Codecademy Pro subscription plans:

When it comes to Pluralsight, their annual subscription cost around $299 (14%) saving compared to their monthly subscription, which cost around $29 per month. But, if you are lucky, you can also get a Pluralsight membership is $199 when they run their 33% OFF SALE OFFER, which is the one they are running now.

这与CodeCademy的191.88美元计划非常接近，但是您将获得更多课程和内容。他们的年度计划允许访问他们的整个课程库，学习路径，频道，课程学习检查，课程讨论，练习文件，移动和电视应用程序以及脱机观看，这非常棒。

They also have a Pluralsight Premium plan which costs around $499 in general, but they are offering a 33% DISCOUNT, which means you can get this plan for just $299. This plan provides access to certification practice exams, interactive courses, and real-world projects, which is what Codecademy Pro delivers.

Here is a snapshot of Pluralsight Personal and Premium Plans:

因此，毫无疑问，CodeCademy便宜一些。考虑到他们所拥有的内容数量，Pluralsight在Price方面也并不落后。

That's all about Pluralsight vs. CodeCademy and which online platform should you choose for your learning. Ultimately everything comes on what you want? Which kind of teaching or learning style works for you?

价格略有差异，但是当您比较内容和与Codecademy相比，在Pluralsight上的课程数量众多时，这是完全合理的。

如果您喜欢互动式学习并且预算紧张，请加入CodeCademy Pro，而如果您想使用多样化的在线培训平台并可以支付299美元（因为现在可以享受33％的折扣），请加入Pluralsight Premium Plan。

P. S. --- What about me? Which subscriptions I have? Well, I have a pretty diverse learning requirement, and I learn a lot, so I have a subscription to not only CodeCademy and Pluralsight, but also, I have bought many courses on Udemy, Coursera, OneMonth, CodeCademy, Lynda, and some other online course platforms. Though, my go-to places are Pluralsight and Udemy.

P. P. S. --- If you want, you can also try both CodeCademy and Pluralsight and stick with the one you like, but don't miss the Pluralsight 33% OFF OFFER, it doesn't come every day, signup for their personal or premium plan to take advantage of this offer.
