Less than 2% of a bootcamp. More relevant than any of them.

Bootcamps teach you to build from scratch. Crucible teaches you to work in existing code — the thing you'll actually do on the job.

Questions

What do I get with the free tier?

5 tickets on our starter codebase to get a feel for the workflow — clone, investigate, solve, push, verify. The paid license unlocks the full codebase with 50+ challenges across security, performance, features, and more.

Why a 6-month license instead of monthly?

Crucible is a sprint, not a subscription. Most people use it intensely for a few months to build their portfolio and land a job. A fixed license means no surprise charges and no pressure to cancel.

How is this different from LeetCode or AlgoExpert?

Those platforms drill algorithm problems. Crucible gives you a codebase, a ticket, and a test suite — you investigate, build or fix, and push code like you would on the job. Different skill, different proof.

What's "launch pricing"?

We're early. The price will go up to $299 as we add more content and collect testimonials. Getting in now locks you in at $199.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit cards through Stripe, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
