Hi, I was wondering if there will be a free challenge for this month?

Hey @sreyhani, the free challenges for October are **Redis** and **grep**.

Hi @andy1li,

I was wondering this too. After reading this, I realized that the “Free this month” badges in the catalog appear briefly and then disappear, replaced with the number of tasks I currently have completed for the challenges.

@osmium2259 You can try logging out and then viewing the catalog page again. The “Free this month” badges should appear instead of being replaced by your task completion count.

I tried this and it worked. Thanks. However, I feel like the badges used to always be shown regardless of task completion, but I may be totally wrong.

However, if this is normal I think it could be improved by always showing the badges (as well as any existing task completion count) to make it easier for users to know which challenge(s) are free. That’s my two cents.

I also want to say that this platform is fantastic, and the fact that there is a “free plan” is great.
