The Platform is a monthly subscription for continuous learning — tutorials, boards, and tools that grow every month as new videos ship. The Academy is a one-time structured program: the System Design Cohort. They're two separate products and you don't need one to use the other.
Yes. The Architect plan's AI tools — architecture review, the pair assessment, resume optimizer, schema and API reviewers, and the tech debt scorer — run on your own Anthropic API key. You stay in control of usage and cost; we never mark up tokens.
Your cohort access is lifetime — recordings, curriculum, and updates stay yours forever. The Architect platform access bundled with the cohort (3 years for Recorded, 5 years for Live) is time-limited; after it ends you can continue on any monthly Platform plan.
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time — the change is prorated and takes effect immediately.
Yes. The Platform is a monthly (or annual) subscription with no lock-in — cancel from your billing settings in a couple of clicks and you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. The Free plan is free forever and needs no card.
Only once every few months, with limited seats. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you when the next cohort opens.
For the Academy (one-time purchase): a full refund within 7 days if you haven't accessed more than 20% of the content — email akhil@algoroq.io and we'll sort it out. The Platform subscription is cancel-anytime rather than refundable: cancel whenever you like and you keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for, but partial periods aren't refunded.
