What Features Do You Get With a Free Codepip Account?

Updated

A free Codepip account gives you three things: checkpoints that save your progress and let you resume it from any device, achievements you can track and share, and access to new releases covering the latest coding topics. You create the account from the Sign up link in the site header, and the site describes it as free — no payment is required to register. Paid Pro plans exist separately for certain games, but they are not needed to get the free account features.

The Three Free Account Features

Checkpoints: save and resume progress

Checkpoints store your in-game progress so you can pick up where you left off, on any device. In practice, this means you can start a game on a laptop and continue it later on another machine after logging in, rather than restarting from the beginning.

Achievements: track and share

Achievements record what you have accomplished in the games and let you share those accomplishments. This is useful if you want a visible record of what you have completed across the different titles.

New Releases: discover new topics

The New Releases feature helps you find games that teach newer coding topics. Because Codepip adds games over time (for example, Anchoreum for CSS anchor positioning is marked "Free New"), this is how you keep up with what has been added.

What the Free Account Does Not Include

The free account is separate from Pro access. Several games on the platform are labeled Pro, such as Cascade, Code Crunchers, Console Caper, CSS Scoops, and Querymon. The site lists Pro plans (monthly, annual, lifetime, and group plans) on a separate Plans page, but the provided site information does not state which specific games each plan unlocks or what each plan costs. Treat game access as something to confirm on the Plans page rather than assuming a free account covers Pro titles.

Free Games You Can Play

Some games are explicitly marked Free and are a natural starting point with a free account:

Game Topic Status
Flexbox Froggy CSS flexbox Free
Grid Garden CSS grid Free
Anchoreum CSS anchor positioning Free, New
Tailwind Trainer Tailwind utility classes Free, Beta

Other titles, including Flexbox Froggy Pro, are Pro versions that extend a free game with additional practice levels.

How to Create the Account

  1. Go to codepip.com.
  2. Select Sign up in the top navigation (next to Log in).
  3. Complete registration to create the free account.
  4. Log in before or during play so checkpoints and achievements are tied to your account.

Expected result: after signing up and logging in, your progress is saved and you can resume it from another device, and your achievements are recorded.

Common Pitfalls

  • Playing without logging in. Checkpoints and achievements depend on the account, so progress made while signed out may not be saved to your profile.
  • Assuming free means all games. The free account unlocks account features; individual Pro games are a separate matter.
  • Expecting pricing details here. The site links to Pro plans, but current prices and what each tier includes are not specified in the available information — check the Plans page directly.

Is It Worth Registering?

If you are working through the free games (Flexbox Froggy, Grid Garden, Anchoreum, Tailwind Trainer), registering costs nothing and adds progress saving across devices plus an achievement record — clear value if you play over multiple sessions. If your goal is a specific Pro game, decide based on the Plans page, since the free account alone does not establish access to Pro titles.
