Watch out

I somehow signed up for Scrimba without realizing. They did not inform me about a payment, subscription, or invoice. They did silently charge me a monthly fee for many months.

I'd like to ask for a refund, since I have never used Scrimba. However, support does not seem to reply to my inquiries (their target is 24 business hours, but it's been more than a week without any reply).

Courses are great, renewals/cancellation process not so much...

The course content is great, but be wary of the renewal process. They don't send you any renewal reminders email, so make sure you add it to your calendar as renewals are non-refundable (as per their policy....). The cancellation process is pretty horrible as well, always trying to catch you out with dark UI tactics.

The best online learning platform I’ve used

Scrimba has honestly been the best online learning platform I’ve ever used. The platform is extremely intuitive, comfortable and easy to use, which makes following courses a really enjoyable experience.

There is a huge variety of courses, and the ones I’ve taken have always felt complete, well structured and genuinely useful. I’ve learned a lot through Scrimba and I’ve really enjoyed using it.

I would absolutely recommend Scrimba to anyone who wants to learn programming. Thank you for all the great work!

One star for the actual content but the…

One star for the actual content but the cancelation process for subscriptions is truly disgusting and misleading. First asks why you are canceling then asks if you could be convinced if it was cheaper, then mentions all of the classes you will miss, then offers AGAIN if you want a cheaper rate. After all that, there is an option to "undo your cancelation" with a green button and smiley face icon. These are all different screens and throughout this process they are switching up button locations and colors to trick you into staying. Truly shady stuff

No warning before subscription renewal

The platform itself is quite good, but you cannot charge people without a warning that subscription is about to end. I didn't used it for a while and forgot that I have this subscription and got charged for the service I don't need and now I cannot even claim a refund

I can't believe this only has 70+ reviews. Scrimba made learning enjoyable and playful for me. Great product and team of people behind it. I subscribe from time to time when I have time to play and learn with it. Even their IDE is beautiful.

Not free. Paid. Expensive.

This course was very misleading about it's paid content. The course is listed as free, and mentions a membership if you want to continue with solo projects using their assisted platform. However, after a few lessons, you are locked out completely unless you pay a very large membership fee! I have nothing against a paid course that is well maintained, but if your course requires payment, do not list it as free... Even saying "free trial" would have been less misleading. Disgusting...

Thanks for your feedback. We definitely don’t want anyone to feel misled.

If a course is listed as free, the full course content is available to watch without payment. You may see pop-ups about upgrading to a Pro membership, since certain features (like solo projects, interactive practice environments, or certificates) are part of our paid plan. However, you can close those prompts and continue watching the lessons for free.

If you’re comfortable sharing which specific course you’re referring to, we’re happy to take a closer look and make sure everything is behaving as expected. We’re always working to improve clarity in the experience.

Very useful and complete

Scrima is my favourite learning platform, you have so many courses and the most important thing is that you practise a lot with exercises and projects. They are not just theory. Just try it and you won´t leave it.

Best platform to learn how to code

If you're looking to learn how to code don't look don't look at any other course just! Scrimba is all you need
What I enjoy the most about the course is you get a lot of practice coding and there's a very active community if you need help.
I'm 40% through the full stack course and will finish it soon insha Allah

Cool place to learn code !

Scrimba is a unique platform that allows you to learn coding hands-on alongside the teacher on the same screen. I believe this is one of the best features I've ever encountered on any website! It's a super awesome investment.

Very hands-on and builds muscle memory

I love how hands-on the courses are. They give exercise challenges after almost every video. If you’re a visual learner like me, this one is for you. They visually explain everything on screen step by step. You’ll also get lots of practice, and it helps build that muscle memory.

Best place to learn web dev online!

I wanted to learn to code, but I couldn't find a good platform, but then I found Scrimba. Scrimba is by far the best platform I've ever used (and subscribed to). Scrimba is super interactive, super smooth, the teachers are great, the content is great, the platform itself is super fun and interesting to interact with (I spend 20% of my time hovering over a button to see that cool animation). Overall, my experience was great, 100% reccomended!!!

The Front End Courses are exceptional but Backend and AI courses have been rushed without taking into consideration practice beyond the Scrimba Environment. Backend coding has been rushed and Javascript is the only language majorly promoted
