The short answer
This charge is for a premium subscription to DataCamp, an online learning platform specializing in data science, Python, R, SQL, and AI programming skills.
Why am I being billed by DataCamp?
DataCamp requires a paid subscription to access the majority of its interactive coding courses, career tracks, and projects. While they offer a limited free tier, users must upgrade to Premium to view complete course catalogs.
Users frequently sign up for annual subscriptions to receive a discount, which can result in a large, unexpected charge ($149-$300) renewing once per year if the auto-renew feature is not disabled.
Why is the charge so large?
DataCamp heavily promotes annual billing. If you signed up during a promotional period a year ago, you may have just been hit with the full-price annual renewal fee.
Does DataCamp offer a money-back guarantee?
No, DataCamp explicitly states in their terms of service that all subscription fees are non-refundable, even if you forgot to cancel before the renewal date.
How to cancel a DataCamp subscription
To avoid future billing, you must cancel your subscription directly in your account settings before the next renewal date.
Deleting the app from your phone or stopping usage will not cancel the billing. You must formally downgrade your account to the free tier.
