AlgoCademy
A coding-interview prep platform whose slogan admits the obvious out loud — "AI writes the code, problem-solving gets you hired" — and trains you specifically on the algorithmic thinking that a chatbot can't do for you in a live interview.

Description
AI can write working code for almost any problem you paste into it, but a live technical interview is still a human watching you think out loud, and that's a skill AI can't outsource for you. AlgoCademy exists specifically to drill that skill: recognizing a problem pattern, reasoning through it step by step, and explaining your logic clearly under pressure.
AlgoCademy is an interactive learning platform built around 290+ curated algorithmic interview questions with detailed video explanations, step-by-step interactive tutorials, and structured study plans, supporting JavaScript, Python, Java and C++, with code quality validation and feedback plus a completion certificate. It runs on a freemium model — free access to basic tutorials in all four languages, with a paid subscription (reported around $35/month or roughly $13/month billed annually, with a separate MAANG-focused plan around $69.99/month) unlocking the full question bank and premium features, positioned specifically for candidates targeting FAANG and senior engineering roles.
💬 Our review
The short version: AlgoCademy's honest framing — that AI already writes code, so what actually gets you hired is the problem-solving process — is a more useful pitch than platforms that just pile on more content, and the step-by-step interactive tutorial format is genuinely different from watching a solution video after you've already given up.
Against LeetCode (the default choice for most candidates, with a much larger free problem set) or AlgoExpert, AlgoCademy is smaller in raw question count (290+ vs. LeetCode's thousands) but leans more heavily on guided, structured tutorials rather than a flat list of problems you navigate alone — better for someone who genuinely doesn't know where to start, less useful for someone who just wants volume practice. The lack of a public, confirmed founding date and the missing live pricing page (returning 404 at the time of review) are minor transparency gaps worth noting before subscribing. Worth it for a candidate early in interview prep who wants structure and guidance rather than a firehose of problems; LeetCode remains the better choice once you just need volume and want free access to the largest problem bank.
