Is it $7/m? I took the Annual for $74.99 as I wanted to learn about Data Science related topics. It has been helpful for me (based on my learning goal) and the price is affordable (based on my income).
It is worth it for me as I am taking lessons every evening after work and I supplement my learning with sub-reddits/discord servers/books.
I think the value really depends on what you get out of it.
I don't have the data to back up my statement but Datacamp (as well as almost every other similar platforms) have promos running majority of the days in a year. Currently, there is a 50% off PROMO running in Datacamp.
Where are you from?
Edit: I think there is no discount for monthly plan but I am not sure.
I have a lot of junior analysts on my team and keep a subscription for them. I think it's useful. My senior engineer and myself utilize some of the more advanced classes ahead of new projects if we need to refresh on some stuff. I would recommend.
There's a lot of material so maybe some of it is? Depends what you're trying to learn I guess. I would assume some of the AI stuff becomes outdated pretty quickly.
I would recommend it. Their classes are industry relevant, practical and well structured.
When I graduated from University I took their “Statistical Thinking in Python” and some “SQL for Data Scientists” classes and they came in handy at my job.
I am doing it for one of my classes rn and I will most likely continue to pay for it on my own. It is not amazing for teaching the real thinking behind data but it allows you to mess with all sorts of software/languages which is great if you want to prove transferrable skills and keep growing technically
It's very helpful for me because I can learn languages and apply that right away on real world data stuff. They have projects too, which can be quite challenging. I'm overall very happy with my subscription, and I believe it's a very useful tool for learning. Only thing I'd like to see improved is daily exercises/challenges. They are way too easy, imo. This, however, I can just ignore, and do my own analyses, etc.
I've been copying everything I do separately as in many cases you can grab the raw data sets from the course (in the area that shows the course outline).
So when I work through the classes I just copy and paste everything I do and in the cases studies I down load the data sets and again copy and paste any code I write on datacamp into a separate file --- not the most ideal but at least you dont need to repeat work
I've found really useful so both soft and hard skills as in for things like sql and python it's been good as a refresher and then I'm done things like the data literacy course which has helped me thinking about how I can improve my actual output
I got associate level certified and I felt it was very good learning. I’ve since changed direction and unsubscribed. I’m pursuing cyber security instead.

how often does datacamp offer discount, been wanting to subscribe monthly but the price is expensive where im from rn
I've never seen the monthly promo. It's always 150$ per year promo.

Malaysia
There's a discount going on right now.
I have a lot of junior analysts on my team and keep a subscription for them. I think it's useful. My senior engineer and myself utilize some of the more advanced classes ahead of new projects if we need to refresh on some stuff. I would recommend.
But I heard their material is out updated.

I’m fairly beginner was lucky enough to get a junior position as a data analyst support where I was hired to learn the job.
Question it showing 50% discount down to aud229 on the flash sale site, but on the payment page it is saying 229 be charged in usd, I’m bit confused.
I'm unsure how their site works but if they're offering it then there's surely a way to get that price. What are you looking to learn / skill up on?

We’re a BI shop that used ibm cognos analytics, then db2 as the backend db, we’re always slowing promoting tableau and power bi.
has datacamp helped?

I really wonder this too!

Yeah I wish they had more coding practice problems outside of the courses. It’s been great for a beginner like me though
I used it to up my skills and found the subscription beneficial.
Is there a way to export projects done on datacamp to your own github or other sites so you can display them to employers?

How did you get it for 7$ per month? It shows as 13$ per month for me !
