Is a membership required to use The Skill Shift?

No. The tool directory, the side hustle database, the resources and the insights data are all free to read with no account. An account exists so you can save tools, set alerts and receive the weekly digest.

What does a free account give me?

Saved tools, price and shutdown alerts for the tools you actually use, and the weekly digest. Alerts are the practical reason to have one: they tell you when a tool you rely on changes price, cuts its free tier or announces a shutdown.

Everything here is free

The tool directory, pricing history, side hustle database, templates and checklists are open to everyone — no account needed to read any of it. An account is for the things you keep.
