Codecademy pays at least 7% for content creators

What Codecademy is

Codecademy teaches programming through interactive lessons in the browser, covering Python, JavaScript, SQL, web development, data science and AI. It is often the first platform people try when they start learning to code, and its Pro membership unlocks the full catalogue, projects and career paths.

What it pays

Codecademy pays commission on every Pro membership you refer, with the rate depending on the type of publisher:

Codecademy also offers higher rates for special placements, which it asks affiliates to apply to discuss. The fact that content creators earn more than coupon sites is a good sign: the program rewards real recommendations.

Joining

You apply through Codecademy's affiliate page. The public page does not state the cookie length or payout method; both are set out in the program once you are accepted.

How to use it well

Annual Pro plans pay the most, so recommend Codecademy where a reader is committing to a learning path, such as a career change guide or a "learn Python in 2026" roadmap, rather than a one off tutorial.

Who it suits

Coding blogs and channels, career change content, and beginner friendly tech newsletters.

Our take

A familiar brand with a clear minimum rate and better terms for content than for coupons. The rate is modest, so it works best alongside other coding programs. Ungraded until there is a payout record.
