As of 2026-10-08 the subscribe page lists Monthly at $35/mo (struck $39) and Yearly at $159 ($13.25/mo, struck $24.91/mo), with the note 'Our most popular plan previously sold for $299'. source
LeetCode Premium is the baseline paid tier of the largest coding-problem judge: $35 a month or $159 a year for company-tagged questions, premium problems, a debugger, and timed company assessments. It suits anyone whose target companies are tagged and who wants frequency data, which is the feature most people actually pay for. Before paying, check whether your target company has enough tagged questions to justify it, and cancel before renewal since the subscription auto-renews.

What a careful reader should know
LeetCode was founded August 7, 2015 by Winston Tang, is operated by privately held LeetCode LLC in Palo Alto, California, and took a $10M investment from Lightspeed China Partners in 2021 (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeetCode). Pricing history: the subscribe page says the yearly plan 'previously sold for $299'; a 2023 New York Times article cited $35/month (via Wikipedia). The page shows struck prices ($39/mo, $24.91/mo) next to current ones, which is standard anchoring. Reddit threads are mostly favorable about Premium for company-tagged lists ('worth it for me because… filter for questions often asked at Amazon', 51 upvotes, r/leetcode), with the common caveat that the free tier plus NeetCode lists is enough for many.
Third-party signals: Reddit sentiment positive. Graduation-time star ratings are collected by the schools; weigh them accordingly.
