Launch school is super affordable - am I missing something?

It's a fairly self lead platform which is why it's pricing model is more like the more expensive Udemy course, Udacity, Nucamp, or Codecademy but with access to the community for help and support and more through assessments. It's a good model that lets people pay only so long as they feel the program is valuable, which could be 1 month or 3 years. The very selective Capstone project is the one with more intense support and is much more expensive as well.

The material is also so much deeper than any Udemy course. I did several Udemy courses before starting Launch School and I learned next to nothing. One course I completed was Colt Steele's Udemy course that everyone on r/learnprogramming recommends and I barely learned anything.

Yeah totally agree, I only meant the pricing model. I would say they are priced like Nucamp as well but it doesn't mean that Launch School is the same. Nucamp would be closer IMO.. I'll edit this a bit
