One course, one price
Atelo costs $39, once, per course. Not a subscription, not a monthly plan, not a per-seat license: you pay one time and the course is yours. You also don't pay first and hope it was worth it. The skill check and the whole first module, including its assessment, are free to complete before you're ever asked for a card, so you already know what you're buying.
A course built from your skill check, not a template
The free skill check measures what you already know, skill by skill, and that result decides your course's structure: what gets real coverage, what gets skipped because you've already shown it, and what gets stretched further because you're ahead. Two learners on the same topic can end up with genuinely different courses.
Every code block executed before you see it
Nothing in your course ships unexecuted. Every example and every challenge is actually run, and the correct answer you're graded against comes from a real, already-executed solution, not a model's guess at the output.
Grades from running code, not an opinion
Wherever you're graded, in quizzes, coding challenges, or the checkpoints you need to clear to move forward, the grade comes from running your code and checking the result against a real, already-executed answer.
Ada, an AI tutor that hints instead of handing over answers
Ada sits alongside your lessons and challenges to help when you're stuck. On a gated challenge, Ada gives you a hint, not the final answer, so clearing the checkpoint still measures what you can do.
A signed proof page when you finish
You finish with a proof page built from the code you actually wrote and got passing, not a generic certificate. It's signed on Atelo's server and re-run against fresh data before it's published.
What this price does not include
- No subscription tiers. One price, and it doesn't change if you take longer or come back later.
- No certificates. What you get at the end is a proof page built from your own executed code, not a credential.
- No seat licenses. This price is for one learner, one course.

No. Atelo is a one-time price per course. You pay once and keep the course; there is no recurring charge and no monthly plan.
What's free before I pay anything?
The skill check and the whole first module, including its assessment. You can work through real course content before you're ever asked to pay.
What does the price include?
A course built from your skill check result, every code block executed before you see it, grades that come from running code rather than an AI's opinion, Ada as an in-course tutor, and a signed proof page when you finish.
Do prices differ per programming language?
No. Every course is the same one-time price, in every language Atelo teaches: Python, JavaScript, SQL, Lua, Ruby, and PHP, with R available as a preview.
