How each figure was reached
For each seller, the lowest yearly price among its tracked plans. Where a page shows a per-month price for yearly billing and no yearly total (MasterClass, Codecademy, DataCamp, Pluralsight, Brilliant), the figure is 12 × that price. Domestika’s figure is its stated renewal price ($329); its first-year payment ($164.50) is not counted. DataCamp’s yearly price is the one shown as a "SPECIAL PRICE" next to a struck-through $28, and CreativeLive’s is shown as a "Limited Time Promotion" next to a struck-through $499; neither page gives an end date or a different later price, so these are the prices used. Babbel’s Lifetime purchase is not counted. Read October 18, 2026.

Which plan here costs the least for a year?
Among the plans tracked here, Babbel Individual has the lowest yearly price, at $107.40 a year; MasterClass Standard is next at $120. The platforms teach different subjects and the plans differ in what they include; this page compares prices only. Read October 18, 2026.
How this page works
- Each price is the US price shown on the seller’s own pricing page on the date it was read, in US dollars, as printed.
- "Monthly" is the price when billed every month. "Yearly" is the price for a year; where a page shows only a per-month price on its yearly setting, the yearly figure is 12 × that price. Where a page states a first-year price and a different later price (Domestika), Yearly is the later price and the first-year price is in Conditions.
- "—" means the seller’s page shows no price for that billing period.
- Nothing on this page is an estimate. The only worked-out figures are 12 × a per-month price where a page shows no yearly total, 12 × the monthly price in the yearly vs monthly table, the lowest yearly price per seller and the differences in the yearly vs monthly table and Quick answers.
- This page has no affiliate links. Source links are plain links to each seller’s own page. The page compares prices only; it does not rate the courses, teachers or certificates and makes no recommendation.
Coverage, known gaps and method
Coverage and known gaps
Included: subscription plans for one person (and Brilliant’s Family plan) from twelve course, language and skills platforms.
Not included: free plans; single-course purchases; degrees and certificates sold on their own; team, business and school plans; student discounts; lifetime purchases. LinkedIn Learning is left out for now; Udemy’s Personal Plan because its page gives only a "Starting at" price; Busuu because its plans page shows no prices.
Dates and sources: each section shows the date its seller’s page was last read, and its source line links to that page. A figure is recorded only as the seller’s own page shows it.
Method
Each seller’s own pricing page is opened and read directly. The prices for each billing period, and every qualifier printed with them (trials, first-year prices, promotions), are recorded with the page URL and the date. Third-party sites are never used as a source. A change is logged only when the seller’s own page changes. If a figure on this page is wrong, the correction goes in the change log below rather than being edited silently. The computed figures are taken from the recorded rows and recomputed whenever a row they use changes.
This dataset is compiled and maintained by Deldur; how Deldur works explains the process.
Change log
- 2026-10-19 — Wording — source notes and method notes shortened to the source link and read date. No figure changed.
- 2026-10-19 — Chart grouping — the one-year chart is now split into 3 groups (Languages, Course libraries, Tech and skills) on one shared scale, so similar products sit together. No figure changed.
- 2026-10-19 — Wording and dates — DataCamp’s and Domestika Plus’s source notes now say their quoted figures are as printed; the one-year chart now names the Domestika Plus and Coursera Plus plans like the other bars. No figure changed. Found by the site’s own check.
- 2026-10-19 — Dataset started: 23 plans from 12 sellers, each read from the seller’s own page on October 18, 2026: Coursera Plus, MasterClass, Skillshare, Codecademy, DataCamp, Pluralsight, Brilliant, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, Domestika Plus, CreativeLive and Treehouse.
