Data and account status

Your account and progress usually remain intact as a free account after a paid plan ends. Personal data retention follows Codecademy’s terms and privacy policies.

Will I get a refund?

Official refund policy

Codecademy’s published policy states there are no refunds - neither full nor prorated - for subscriptions; cancellation only stops future billing.

See the official refund page for their stated policy: Codecademy Refund Policy.

Exceptions and third-party billing

• Codecademy may consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis if you contact their Help Center (per their policy page).
• Subscriptions bought through Apple or Google must follow those platform refund processes; the platform typically handles any refund requests.
• Some third-party sources mention unofficial refund approaches (e.g., chargeback requests); these are not official Codecademy policies: Unofficial chargeback information.

Codecademy plans and pricing

Notes about pricing

Your consumer rights in South Africa

Cooling-off period

South African consumer law provides a 7-day cooling-off period for distance transactions such as online services, allowing cancellation without reason and a refund within 30 days.

This right may not apply if the digital service is considered fully performed or software has been opened/delivered.

How this affects Codecademy subscriptions

• Codecademy’s "no refunds" term may conflict with South African statutory rights for distance transactions in some circumstances.
• If you believe statutory rights apply, you can raise the issue with Codecademy support and reference South African consumer protection law.
• For official policy text from Codecademy, see: Codecademy Terms.
