Which option fits which reader
Builders Camp
Best if you want every topic on your own timetable, not one course on fixed evenings: every bootcamp, live or self-paced, for €749 one-time (Lifetime) or €249 a month (Monthly), sales tax included. 1:1 mentorship included: book sessions with 40+ mentors and directors, subject to availability. AI building is included: Bootcamps on Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, AI agents and vibe coding, among others.
EDIT.
Fits if you want one structured course taught in Portuguese on a fixed evening timetable, mixing product and project management. Schedule: Taught in Portuguese; live classes Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 7 PM to 11 PM Lisbon time. Price: €2,700 for the course, VAT exempt; 8 interest-free instalments of €337.50, or 5% off for paying upfront.
Ironhack
Fits a career switcher aiming at a junior product role who wants a full-time or part-time bootcamp with career services and has a larger budget. Price: €7,500 (Portugal and Spain pages). It includes The bootcamp, 12 months of career services and one free industry exam (PSPO I or Microsoft Certified: AI Business Professional).
Maven
Fits if you want one short live course in English from an instructor you pick. Priced per course by each instructor; sampled AI and product courses cost $499 to $2,700.
Coursera
Fits if you want a low monthly cost and are fine with recorded video only. Price: Coursera Plus €51 a month or €346 a year (prices shown to a visitor in Portugal). Self-paced recorded video, quizzes and projects; no live classes.
How do the prices compare with EDIT.?
EDIT. sells one course for one fee: €2,700 for the course, VAT exempt; 8 interest-free instalments of €337.50, or 5% off for paying upfront. That fee buys One course: 12 modules and 148 hours of live classes, a 52-hour capstone project with a final pitch, and a digital certificate. Each alternative prices differently, so compare what one payment buys rather than the headline number.
- Builders Camp: €749 one-time (Lifetime) or €249 a month (Monthly), sales tax included. Either plan includes: 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.
- Ironhack: €7,500 (Portugal and Spain pages). That buys The bootcamp, 12 months of career services and one free industry exam (PSPO I or Microsoft Certified: AI Business Professional).
- Maven: Priced per course by each instructor; sampled AI and product courses cost $499 to $2,700. Pay per course; no all-courses subscription listed on maven.com.
- Coursera: Coursera Plus €51 a month or €346 a year (prices shown to a visitor in Portugal). Monthly or annual subscription (Coursera Plus); 7-day free trial on monthly.
EDIT., Ironhack and Builders Camp all price in euros, so they line up directly. EDIT.: one course. Ironhack: one bootcamp. Builders Camp: €749 one-time for all 40+ bootcamps. EDIT.: €2,700 per course, VAT exempt. Ironhack: €7,500 (Portugal and Spain pages). In the same currency, Builders Camp Lifetime costs less than one EDIT. course or one Ironhack bootcamp. Maven prices in US dollars and each instructor sets the price: $499 to $2,700 per course, across the AI and product courses sampled. The EDIT. course is 200 hours and a Builders Camp bootcamp is 1 or 2 weeks, so this sets payment against payment, not course against bootcamp.
Coursera Plus costs less up front than Builders Camp Lifetime, so there the comparison is what is included. Coursera, as of 28 September 2026: Self-paced recorded video, quizzes and projects; no live classes. No 1:1 mentorship; IBM Product Manager lists mock interviews and resume support. Builders Camp: Bootcamps run live in cohorts and are also available fully self-paced. 1:1 mentorship included: book sessions with 40+ mentors and directors, subject to availability. For the full range of what paid programmes cost by format, see how much a product management bootcamp costs.

Ironhack runs full-time or part-time: Full-time: 9 weeks, Monday to Friday 09:00 to 18:00 (GMT+2). Part-time: 24 weeks, Tuesday and Thursday 18:30 to 21:30 plus Saturday 10:00 to 17:00 (GMT+2).
Builders Camp works in shorter blocks: 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. Every bootcamp is also available fully self-paced, so you can join the live session or work through it on your own time, one bootcamp or several. Maven: Set per course; sampled AI-for-PM courses run 2 to 6 weeks at 2 to 8 hours a week. Coursera is self-paced: IBM AI Product Manager: 10 courses, 3 months at 10 hours a week (Coursera's estimate).
Which options teach hands-on AI building?
All five cover AI in some form; the difference is whether you build with named tools. Builders Camp: Bootcamps on Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, AI agents and vibe coding, among others, all included in the Membership.
EDIT.: One of 12 modules covers AI in product and project management; tools named include ChatGPT and Claude. Claude Code, Cursor and Lovable are not named.

Ironhack: 1:1 Career Advisor for job-search coaching; a startup mentor only for students selected into the optional Talent Accelerator Program.
