Hey 20F here and in my 3rd year. I’m currently grinding Leetcode for internship. My question is would it be worth it to get Leetcode premium? I think it’s too pricey so I’m looking for an alternative. Also where do you guys study for specific questions for specific companies?

r/leetcode on Reddit: Is there a smarter alternative to leetcode?

October 23, 2023 -

Rather than running your code against 100 different test cases and failing you if you miss 1, is there a platform that can use AI to tell you if you have the correct approach that covers the general case and then a couple of the more common edge cases? I feel like that would more useful and more in line with a standard white board interview.

I mean leetcode tells you how many tests you passed, so you know if your solution covers the general case or not based on how many tests it passed

Contributing to open source. 20+ years interviewing. The leetcode tests are not how we "filter applicants because of volume." They're how we order applicants that don't have work to demonstrate. ... ℹ️ Disclaimer: I can't speak to the whole industry / every company. There are many that at least screen on technicals. I am extrapolating from my experience on hiring panels (many hundreds) + friends' experiences of the same. I got some very helpful comments below that make a good case for the opposite of what I'm saying also being true some places. (I can't speak to the ratio, but others in the thread/sub probably can — some of whom also have conducted many interviews / might have a better pulse on general trends). ... Come in with a degree, leetcode skills (which, more than anything, we use to assess process and communication, not expertise), but no experience: if you set the record for the highest marks, you go to the top of pile #2. If someone comes in and has patched bugs in an open source lib, has a learning blog, noodles with arduinos, helps a small business, has a github project that is decent — especially if you have collaborators: you go into pile #1. Notably: it is entirely possible and often the case that we'll end up hiring someone who performed worse on the technical if they can demonstrate actual programming experience, esp in concert with others. The market is tough. Sometimes you do have to do hundreds of interviews (I've been there). But, in a tough market, if your prinary focus is algorithms and toy problems, the plain facts are: you will go into the pile of callbacks that we refer to if no one in the experience pile accepts the job. You don't need a job to get experience either: OSS is free experience and free education. Patch a bug in one of your favorite libs. Start a blog post where you communicate your learnings. You will immediately go from vaiing for one position against a thousand other people to being in the top 50. Have been on both sides if the table, but on the hiring side more than not for a long time. Many hundreds of interviews and hires (yes, right on up through 2023). This is for sure: leetcode is a great way to practice to reduce test taking nerves. It is not important to us that you nail the technical, unless that's the only metric you leave us with. In that case, you must — because you ae competing with the thousands of other people with the same misunderstanding re: what we are looking for. (And internships are good, but if you can't speak in specific detail to architecture, business impact, requirements, or articulate a difficult bug and solution, we just note that you have been putting in effort — doesn't matter if it's NASA, Google, JP Morgan, etc. We've all worked there or know people who do. Sometimes internships are invaluable! We try to give work you can put as huge wins on your resume! But, we also understand that many places just have you write YAML for CI/CD or add methods to classes in an enormous framework and no one makes time to provide you with context. That's not universal, but it is common. In either case: it's not your fault). ⚠️Note: many, many people working on OSS are nice and will be happy to help. There are a lot of jerks too. They might be dismissive, wrong, mean: if you run into that, be gracious in return and know when to call it on the discussion: that's also a huge win. You're gonna run into jerks. Being able to slough it off without adding to the snide vibe is a great look. I didn't intend to make any universal claims. I should have made that clear.

r/leetcode on Reddit: Where do you practice other than Leetcode?

October 17, 2023 -

In school, I learned math best by doing TONS of problems. I am looking for good resources that will allow me to do the same thing as I practice DSA. The ideal platform would have problems that are easier than/about the same as Leetcode easys and can be filtered by topic.

So far, the only thing I have found is GeeksforGeeks. It lets me filter by Basic and also choose different data structures or techniques to filter by.

Any other suggestions?

You can check cses(dot)fi Also, can you please explain why are you searching for another site? Leetcode itself has so many problems. Are you looking for what to do after leetcode is covered?

If you like math, try codeforces and atcoder. They have contests and are very math oriented. Not DSA specific, but you will enjoy the process, if you can give it time.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Alternatives to Leetcode

February 15, 2022 -

So far I haven’t used a service like leet code. But from what I read that even the simple problems are fairly difficult. My question is if there is an alternative I could start out with that isn’t as difficult to start out with.

I’m not opposed to Leetcode, But don’t want to start out as frustrated.

Maybe try CodeWars . They have 8 levels of difficulty, with 8 being the easiest. I started with CodeWars then moved on to LeetCode. A couple of downsides to CodeWars: Some of the questions have a short story/scenario which you might find fun or annoying For each question on Leetcode, you can find many answers and explanations in several different languages. On CodeWars, the top answers tend to be the shortest code and almost no one explains their answers. You also can't see the answers in other languages unless you've already solved it in that particular language.

IMO, using LeetCode to first learn algorithms will lead to a lot of frustration - I'd suggest you go through an algorithms and data structures course first. Even just a YouTube series is great - the basics haven't ever changed and they are fairly basic, so if you find someone's videos who you like that's more than enough. You could also pick up a textbook on the topic if you're more of a reader. LeetCode is a good place to practice your skills, but not really to learn them.

I found hack2hire, but they seem to have little number of problems in total... what else? codility?

There is no alternative

I use GFG only thing is the website is so clumsy and old school, but still serves the purpose Company tags for free makes me use it though.

r/cscareerquestions on Reddit: A more structured alternative to Leetcode.

January 7, 2018 -

A lot of people on this sub practice on Leetcode. It is no doubt the best place to practice inter.view questions. However, unless you are a premium user, there isn't a good methodological way to learn algorithms. You can check out https://www.lintcode.com/ladder/2/

They have a special question ladder called "US Giants". It contains just the right amount of easy, medium and hard questions for each topic (most of them from Leetcode). There are 122 questions in total and I did around 80% of them. Almost every new question that I see in my interviews is a variation of what I already did on Lintcode.

P.S - It's free!. Thanks to our Asian friends :)

also check out leetcode explore if you're looking for a more structured approach to leetcode, and the top interview collection cards are free. full disclosure: i work at leetcode edit: i don't create explore content, so i can't answer questions about how that process works. feel free to send an email using "contact us" at the bottom for any questions/suggestions you have.

r/leetcode on Reddit: My thoughts Algo Expert Vs Leetcode Premium

March 1, 2024 -

What is Algo Expert (AE)?

Similar to leetcode but there is more to it.

Here is how they describe it "The ultimate resource to prepare for coding interviews. Everything you need, in one streamlined platform."

Cost Comparison

Algo Expert is $99 per year and LC Premium is $159 per year

Pros of AE

Every question has multiple solutions. From Brute Force to Most Optimized
Solutions come in 7 languages.
They provide video solutions to all their problem (this a con as well)

Cons of AE

They only have 200 problems.. and they don't have company tagged problems.. A big component of DSA interview is luck.. Leetcode Premium gives you company tagged problem which is very useful
The videos are long af.. and I freaking hate it.. some of his explanation are 45 min+... the man just takes too long to explain things... I personally find neetcode's videos more concise
The solutions they provide for harder problems are more complicated than they need to be and it takes a while to understand the solution.. wheareas neetcode's solution is very conciese and simple to understand

My Final Thoughts

I wouldn't use algo expert even if it was free for the cons I mentioned above... in short it takes a while to get through their solutions and their videos are long af

You are better off using Leetcode premium and following neetcode's solution

Personal opinion, I wouldn't use neither of them cuz I don't really need them, there are plenty of free resources out there that present what the others give for money. Maybe it's just about paying so you feel regret about giving ur money and not using that platform which will make u force urself doing it.

Isn't there a github which shows company specific problems, not sure how up to date it is. https://github.com/hxu296/leetcode-company-wise-problems-2022

Hi, I'm looking for an app or site like sololearn but only for algorithms and data structures.i was thinking about solving leetcodes but I feel like a dumb ass since I mix up algorithms and can't code that well since I don't practice that much. I'd be grateful for your advices.

You can try Codewars or Hackerrank, the lowest ranked problems are usually about simple algorithms or language features. You can also review others' solutions to learn about how others solve the same problems. LeetCode is more interview-oriented personally.

r/leetcode on Reddit: Is leetcode premium worth buying if I am getting laid off.

October 22, 2025 -

Hi community. I got to know that I am getting laid off in few days/weeks although last date is not communicated to me.

When I search few questions like https://leetcode.com/problems/optimal-account-balancing/description/ or other such questions it says you need premium subscription.

Ofc we have https://github.com/AkashSingh3031/Complete-LeetCode-Premium-Problems and such repos.

Buying lc premium would only give benefit of me solving the problem and submitting it and finding my mistakes. But a missed mistake in interview can cause issues.

My questions is should I be buying leetcode premium?

I am open to taking someone's account on rent if that helps because I want to solve some questions.

Ofc $40 or 3200 rs/month + charges is not that great deal for me but still being cautious.

PS: I don't even know how to do this international payment and what charges cc company would levy on me.

If it gets you one job it’s basically worth it for a lifetime. You do the math

If money isn't an issue, take it. It's always better to have it and not use it than regret not having it later. Speaking from personal experience, it did give me a fair idea of the topics and difficulties of questions being asked in Google and Amazon.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Alternatives to LeetCode that has explanations

August 3, 2024 -

Hi R

I was looking into LeetCode and it seems the solutions they have there are from “the community”, which has no guarantee that the answers are actually the best solution or even that they are correct.

I’m looking for an alternative platform that also has good challenges, ones that are actually similar to real interview problemas, but that have the “official” resolution explanation, considering the best answer to the problem.

Please, would anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you

TBH I never understood these learning sites. For learning I just buy proven books, but most of time I just build things I want to make. This give you not only real life experience, but a product you can show in your portfolio. And since it is your own project, it definitelly required solution to some unique problem. Do that, not some platforms that gives you only feel of progression that is as much valuable as level in your WoW character (it isn't valuable if you are not WoW player).

r/leetcode on Reddit: Hello Guys. Is Leetcode premium worth it? I need advise. Thank you.

July 18, 2024 -

I understand DSA to an extent. But I want to start grinding and also start learning about system design.

Leetcode premium is worthy if you're done with free questions 40-60% and now looking for more good questions. Also if you have any big interview planned for next 2-3 months like Google or similar and you want to prepare only for that company. Otherwise Leetcode without premium is good enough for everything.

My ROI was approximately 175000% so for me yeah

As a student, I've seen too many of my friends overpay for LeetCode premium.

So I built LeetGym.com.

It's much better than existing interview prep platforms - here's some of its features:

Company-tagged questions (Amazon, Google, Meta, + more) in one place
Practice explaining your solutions and thought process with AI (voice chat with your problems!)
Simulate full-length Mock Interviews with AI (behavioral + technical)
Actionable feedback (quantitative - response time, etc. + qualitative - tone, relevance, etc.)

All for free! (there's a free limit as I am a broke college student - just pay for the LLM tokens you use).

Please check it out!

Guys, is leetcode premium worth it? I don’t have any interviews coming up yet, will premium help me in any manner? Also, does premium give you access to all the courses they have?

Yes if you’re preparing for a specific company, otherwise no. All the questions are available somewhere. The biggest value of premium IMO is the company tagged questions lists. Unless you know for sure that you’re going to interview with a specific company, it’s probably not worth it

Well I’d only use LeetCode premium to get access to more questions but that issue is solved by https://www.lintcode.com so you can get all premium questions on there for free

You don’t need either one, but in terms of value LC premium is better even if for the up to date company tagged questions + editorial. NeetCode has most of his videos in YouTube for free, but premium if you want to support him, but you don’t really need it.

August 1, 2025 -

I am currently focusing on FAANG companies, but the DSA problems I’m practicing are from Striver’s sheet, NeetCode, and Apna College’s SDE sheet, which mainly cover questions asked in regular companies. Some of the problems from FAANG or MAANG companies are quite new and cover important concepts. I would like to know from any LeetCode Premium users if it’s worth getting Premium for this.

Also, how does the payment work for users in India?

Feel free to share your thoughts as well.

Hi the only two benifit I found is company tags, and online debugging(although I don’t recommend it to use all the time). It purchased it when I had interviews scheduled, so that the questions I solve should be frequently asked in target companies.

I got it, and to me it's worth it for the company tagged questions. I wouldn't get the month to month as it's too expensive tho. With premium you'll have access to mock interviews used by the company you're targeting too.
