Introducing CodeChef Pro

• Ads can be removed using ad blocker.

• Video solution can be provided by individuals who can explain way better than you.

• WA debugging in not good as suggested by @dawnshard

• Your doubt support is useless.

• We don’t need hints this website is for CP not for learning that we’ll need to get hint

Actually I am not surprised , these is quite expected from cheater-chef , ooh sorry sorry Codechef . Just one more advice to the authority , what if contest participations are also included in paid subscription , think on it . Shame on CC .

• Video editorials will be available for free for 24 hours after a contest, so that contest participants can learn from it.
• They will be become part of Premium after those 24 hours, and so users who want an enhanced Practice-experience using VEs will have to get Premium.
• As has been explicitly mentioned, contests will never be paid.
• If trying to sustain an organization to keep it running is shameful, then yeah, shame on us.

I’m so surprised how codechef went from not-for-profit to only-for-profit few years after acquisition by Unacademy.

Only greedy approach ha …

[admin]

I’d call it the amortized analysis of some greedy algo - where the revenue from Pro is used to offset the expenditure in other areas

[dchandrasekhar]

There’s nothing wrong with introducing Pro in my opinion as long as the basic features like unlimited practicing, submissions, editorials and discuss remains free. A lot of money is required to conduct contests (to pay contest writers, server costs).

CC should give a special star to premium accounts just to show off. Like profile has neon color effects if subscription is taken

Hey @anon12305781

Thank you for the suggestion

Do you mean something like this? (Please check the attached screenshot).

We are already displaying badges against premium users’ usernames on the profile, ratings and contests rankings pages. It will be displayed at more places in the coming months. Do let us know if you like this.

Will pro users will have access to the WA debug feature in contests and free users wont? Wouldn’t that be an unfair advantage?

[admin]

From the main post:
“Contests will always be a level-playing field for all users.”

So, no, definitely not.

[codetantra]

Thank you. Is there more info available on upcoming features other than the WA debug? Even if not finalized, an idea of what is in the pipeline would be great!

Hi,

I am trying to become Pro but payment page seems have some issue. When I click on “Make Payment” link in page (https://www.codechef.com/pro/payment/yearly), it is refreshing but not providing any option to proceed further. Anyone able to pay successfully and became Pro.

Thanks,
Rama.

Hey Rama,

Sorry to know that you’re facing the issue. Can you please try using another browser or an incognito window? If you’re still facing issues, we can catch up on a Google meet and find a solution. I can be reached at suraj@codechef.com.

I don’t think that it would be unfair, but although we need to look into this question in more detailed way
