If you landed on this blog entry, you are likely looking to buy Educative.io’s courses for less than they are advertised for. Here are the three ways you can get them on the cheap:

Grokking Modern System Design for Software Engineers and Managers
  • Educative allows you to audit some courses for free. The offer may show up on your Educative account randomly or you may request them explicitly.
  • Educative runs promotions throughout the year on various occasions to give discounts, such as the one running now for Black Friday. The current promotion has been extended till the end of this year.
  • Most importantly, Educative.io’s prices are adjusted geographically, so a course may cost less in India than in the USA. Similarly, the monthly and yearly subscriptions cost less in India than in the USA and rightly so since the buying power of Indian readers is much less than that of USA readers. So if you are taking a trip from the western world to a less prosperous country, you may buy your subscription when you land in the latter.

There are no other ways/hacks to get Educative.io’s courses for a bargain other than the above three. Happy Learning!
