Edabit vs Progate

Edabit is a web-based service for practicing programming through interactive coding challenges. Its library is described as containing more than 10,000 problems, with C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Swift among the supported languages. Learners submit code and see test results; hints use that context to guide them without simply supplying answers. The site tracks solved challenges and levels, and awards XP according to challenge difficulty. All challenges are free to complete, and the listed Free plan costs nothing. Edabit says it is not currently selling new memberships, and does not offer student-specific or school plans. It is designed primarily for desktop use because coding works best with a physical keyboard. The service is available only to people at least 13 years old. Its privacy policy says passwords are stored encrypted, browser-server traffic uses SSL or HTTPS, and personal information is not shared for marketing or advertising. Session recordings can retain page structure and interactions for up to 30 days.

Progate is an online programming-learning service designed to take beginners toward becoming creators. Lessons combine illustrative slides, a browser-based coding environment, and ordered learning paths. Listed subjects include HTML and CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Ruby, Ruby on Rails5, PHP, Java, Python, Command Line, Git, SQL, Sass, Go, and Node.js. Mobile apps for Android and iOS provide slides and keyboard layouts optimized for phones and tablets; the service is also listed for macOS and Windows. Progate has a free plan with some introductory lessons. Plus provides all lessons: $14.99 a month, $12.99, paid once for six months, or $9.92, paid once for 12 months. The longer plans are paid at registration, exclude taxes, and auto-renew. Progate for School offers eligible schools free access to two selected language-course groups and team progress management. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. Its English web service and English mobile-app interface are scheduled to be discontinued on September 30, 2026; code and certificate exports must be downloaded from the web platform before then.
