Where SkillLift is right now

We think you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for. This page is our single source of truth for what's live, what's free, what's paid, and what's still being built. If any other page ever disagrees with this one, trust this one — and please tell us.

Live today

  • Live RTL Sandbox

    Free browser-based Verilog simulator with real simulation and waveforms. No account needed.

  • Live Free learning path

    Course Orientation and Module 1 — write, run, and debug real Verilog, ending in a White Belt milestone.

  • Live Paid: Modules 2–3

    The full combinational and sequential Verilog path, simulator-backed with honest pass/fail checks.

  • Live Accounts

    Email + password, Google sign-in, and one-time magic links (magic link also recovers your account).

In development

These are commitments, not marketing. We publish target dates and label anything that isn't earnable yet.

  • Building Modules 4–7 Ships Aug 21, 2026; Ships Aug 28, 2026; Ships Aug 31, 2026

    Finite-state machines, ALU/datapath, and testbenches — released into the paid course as they ship.

  • Building Capstone + earnable RTL Proof Target September 5, 2026

    A real, employer-inspectable work-sample you build and can choose to publish. Any sample you see today is clearly labelled "Sample — not a real learner outcome."

How we price it

  • Free: the RTL Sandbox, Course Orientation, Module 1, and the White Belt — no card required.
  • Founding $79 USD Self-Paced: a one-time purchase (no subscription) for the paid modules. This is a founding price — it rises to $149 when Modules 4–7 and the capstone ship (September 2026). If you buy now, you keep access to those modules as they release.
  • Verified .edu learners get 30% off paid tiers at checkout.
  • Guided Sprint: a Fall cohort, waitlist-only. We won't sell it until the cohort is real and dates are set.

Our promises to you

  • 14-day no-questions refund on any paid purchase.
  • One-time payment. No auto-billing, no subscription traps.
  • No fake scarcity, no fabricated discounts, no inflated claims.
  • We're an anonymous founding team, so we ask you to judge us by what you can build with the tool — not by our names.
