Subscription Models

On HTB Academy, we offer two different types of subscription models: cubes-based and access-based. Cubes-based subscriptions allow you to purchase Cubes on a monthly basis at a discounted price. Each month, you will be awarded additional

Cubes based on whichever subscription you have decided to purchase.


Click the button below to learn more about Cubes:


The Cubes are yours to spend as you please, and you will have permanent, life-long access to any Modules you unlock using them.

Access-based subscription models, such as the Silver Annual or Student plans, grant you access to all Modules up to a certain tier for as long as you have the subscription. In the case of the Silver Annual and Student Plans, this would mean you'd have access to all Modules up to and including Tier 2 for as long as the plan was active.

If you complete a Module with an access-based subscription, you will still have the ability to go back and review that module, even after your plan ends. Additionally, you are still rewarded Cubes when you complete Modules with an access-based subscription.

How Do I Cancel a Subscription?

You can cancel your subscription anytime by clicking on the top right button and choosing Billing.

Scrolling down, you can see your current plan. At the end of the page, you can simply click the Cancel Subscription option, which will keep your current month's or year's subscription active and running, but will prevent further automatic payments from going out from your default registered payment method.
