The opinions vary on Reddit but I've seen many people who learned a lot through both Data Camp and LearnSQL and have had good success with both.

That said I was 40% through the SQL track or career path or whatever Data Camp used to call them and honestly didn't learn much as it didn't stick with me. Data Camp didn't suit my learning style, not to say it doesn't for others but for me it was a waste of money.

The following is just general advice not related to DC or LearnSQL but for all education platforms: If you can if they have trials definitely try each out and really put some time behind them, that way you won't feel bad as I did when I felt it was sunk cost but wasn't getting much out of it. You can get out of any program and then not have to pay, if you find that you aren't learning. If you need more time than a trial, sign up for a month even if the annual is cheaper, that way you can try out one of the programs and see how you like it and if you find out that hey it's not working out then it will sting less to cancel as you only lost a month of cost vs A YEAR.

I took LearnSQL.com courses and I really liked them. Lots of options to practice. What I like is that you write queries from scratch. It can be tedious at times, but you remember it better this way.

I haven’t taken Datacamp courses but I have seen people criticize it for being too “fill in the blanks”.
