About AlgoExpert

AlgoExpert is a coding interview preparation site built around a hand-picked set of algorithm and data-structure questions. Each question comes with a detailed video walkthrough, written solutions in several languages and an in-browser workspace where you can run your code against tests. Instead of offering thousands of problems, it aims to cover the patterns that come up most often in software engineering interviews. The same company sells companion products under the Expert name: SystemsExpert for system design interviews, FrontendExpert for frontend roles, and others for machine learning and behavioural prep, which can be bought on their own or bundled. There is no meaningful free tier; access is sold as a time-limited purchase rather than a monthly subscription. It suits job seekers who prefer a structured, smaller syllabus with polished explanations over grinding a huge problem bank. It runs in the browser on desktop.

Best for: Interview candidates who want a short, curated syllabus with video explanations.
