About A Cloud Guru

A Cloud Guru (ACG) is an online learning platform focused on cloud computing, DevOps, and related technologies, headquartered in Austin, Texas. It offers video courses, hands-on labs, sandboxes, and exam preparation for major cloud providers including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). A Cloud Guru is now part of Pluralsight, but many users still access content through the A Cloud Guru-branded platform and mobile apps. The service is primarily subscription-based, serving both individual learners and enterprise teams.

A charge from A Cloud Guru may appear on your bank or card statement if you signed up for a paid subscription (monthly or annual), started a free trial that converted to a paid plan, or purchased A Cloud Guru access through Pluralsight’s cloud learning plans. Common scenarios include recurring monthly charges, a single annual payment, or a pending authorization when you first add or update a card. You might also see A Cloud Guru or Pluralsight listed as the billing descriptor, depending on how and when you subscribed, and charges often renew automatically until cancelled.

If you’re unsure about an A Cloud Guru charge, first log into your account at acloudguru.com (or pluralsight.com if your cloud learning access is managed there) and check the Billing or Subscription section for invoices, renewal dates, and payment history. Look through your email for order confirmations or renewal notices sent from A Cloud Guru or Pluralsight around the date of the charge. To resolve questions, you can contact A Cloud Guru/Pluralsight support through their help center at support.acloudguru.com or help.pluralsight.com, where you can submit a ticket, manage your subscription, or request a refund if eligible. If you still cannot identify the charge, consider whether a family member, colleague, or employer may have used your card, and then contact your bank if you suspect unauthorized use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a recurring charge from A Cloud Guru on my card?

You are most likely being billed for an active A Cloud Guru or Pluralsight cloud subscription, which renews automatically each billing period. Individual plans are typically billed monthly or annually, and your renewal date is based on the day you first subscribed or when you last changed your plan. You can confirm this by logging into acloudguru.com and checking the Billing or Subscription section of your profile.

What are the typical A Cloud Guru subscription prices?

Historically, A Cloud Guru’s individual plans have been in the range of about $35–$50 per month or $300–$500 per year, depending on the plan and region, with cloud-focused plans now often sold through Pluralsight. Enterprise and team pricing is usually custom and billed to a central account owner, not individual learners. Because pricing and packaging change over time, the most accurate current rates are listed on acloudguru.com or pluralsight.com/pricing.

Why was I charged after a free trial with A Cloud Guru?

When you start a free trial, you’re usually required to enter a valid payment method, and the subscription converts to a paid plan at the end of the trial if you don’t cancel in time. On the trial end date, the first billing period (monthly or annual) is charged automatically. You can see your trial end date and next billing date in your account settings; if you believe you were charged in error, contact support as soon as possible for options.

How do I cancel my A Cloud Guru subscription to stop future charges?

Log in to your A Cloud Guru account at acloudguru.com, go to your Account or Profile area, and open the Billing or Subscription section. There you should see an option to Manage or Cancel your subscription; follow the prompts until you receive a cancellation confirmation. If your access is provided via Pluralsight, you may need to cancel from your Pluralsight account instead. After cancelling, you’ll typically retain access until the end of your current paid period, but future renewals will stop.

How can I request a refund for an A Cloud Guru charge I don’t recognize or no longer want?

Refunds depend on A Cloud Guru/Pluralsight’s current refund policy, which may allow limited-time refunds for recent charges but typically does not offer refunds for long-past renewals or partially used periods. Start by checking your invoices and dates in your account, then submit a request through the support portal at support.acloudguru.com (or help.pluralsight.com) explaining the charge and why you’re requesting a refund. Include the last four digits of the card, the charge amount, and the billing date to help them locate your transaction quickly.

Why do I see a small or $0 pending charge from A Cloud Guru or Pluralsight?

A very small or $0–$1 pending amount is usually an authorization hold used to verify that your card is valid when you sign up or update payment details. This is not a real charge and should automatically disappear or be reversed by your bank within a few business days. If the pending amount does not drop off, contact your bank or card issuer to confirm their hold policy and, if needed, contact A Cloud Guru/Pluralsight support with a screenshot of the transaction.

The charge says Pluralsight, but I only remember signing up for A Cloud Guru—are these related?

Yes. A Cloud Guru is part of Pluralsight, and many cloud learning subscriptions are now billed under Pluralsight’s name even if you primarily use the A Cloud Guru-branded content. This can result in statements showing Pluralsight, A Cloud Guru, or a combination of both as the billing descriptor. Log into both acloudguru.com and pluralsight.com with the same email address to see which account is active and linked to the charge.

How can I check which card is being billed and update my A Cloud Guru payment method?

Sign into your A Cloud Guru or Pluralsight account and go to the Billing or Payment Methods section under Account/Settings. There you can view the last four digits and type of the active card, update your card details, or switch to a different payment method. Updating your card here will apply to future renewals, so if you no longer want to be billed at all, make sure to cancel the subscription instead of just changing the card.
