I only used the free version, but it seemed like garbage. They pretty much just tell you what to write at each step, so I don't feel like I was actually learning much. The paid version might be better since it gives you projects, but you'd probably be better of just coming up with projects on your own or googling any number of free sites to find project ideas. Also, I had a software manager on a job interview tell me those sites "don't work", but I'm sure he isn't representative of every high-level developer's opinion.

You might want to just look up other resources for whatever language you're looking into. I've been doing this one for JavaScript lately:

https://javascript.info/

I like it a lot better than Codecademy since it really goes through a lot more of the language. None of these almost-completed scripts where they ask you to put it one line of code before telling you what it does. This one is a lot less interactive, though, so I'd recommend taking notes as you go along or taking the time to write some examples. For me, I already knew C++ so I'm not taking notes on stuff that's the same, and it isn't too bad so far but you might need to remember a lot more.
