Builders Camp vs Product Faculty

How do the prices and billing compare?

Builders Camp costs one payment of €749 one-time, with no renewal, while Product Faculty charges every year.

Product Faculty's AI Builder Fellowship costs $5,000 a year, renews automatically unless cancelled. Builders Camp costs €749 one-time (Lifetime) or €249 a month (Monthly), sales tax included. At the ECB euro reference rate of 29 September 2026 (€1 = $1.1355), Builders Camp Lifetime costs less than one year of Product Faculty, and so do twelve months of Builders Camp Monthly. The table above sets out what each payment buys.

Renewal is what changes your total cost. The Lifetime plan is paid once and keeps every bootcamp open, so taking a year or two to work through the material costs nothing extra. If you would rather not pay upfront, the Monthly plan can be cancelled any time. If you want to see how these models compare across the wider market, what a product management bootcamp costs lays out self-paced, live cohort and university options side by side.

What does one payment cover?

One Builders Camp payment covers 40+ bootcamps across 9 learning tracks, while a Product Faculty year covers 8 certification courses.

Builders Camp: All 40+ bootcamps (live and self-paced), all 9 learning tracks, 1:1 mentorship subject to availability, monthly live masterclasses and the archive, Quest Mode, templates, a certificate per completed bootcamp and community access. Product Faculty: A year of access to 8 live certification courses, retakes at no extra cost, weekly live AI workshops, mastermind networking sessions, 1:1 capstone feedback from faculty and new certifications at no extra cost.

The courses are also sized differently. Product Faculty: 3 to 6 weeks per certification; 4 to 6 hours a week. Builders Camp: Each bootcamp runs 1 or 2 weeks: a live 2-hour lecture, self-paced microlessons, a practical challenge, a 1-hour live Q&A masterclass and a graded final quiz. Short bootcamps let you pick exactly the skill you need this month, finish it, and move to the next. They also cover core product work such as strategy, analytics and growth alongside AI building, so one membership serves a whole career path, not only AI product topics.
