How it works
The platform's model is pay-per-course, with list prices from $49.99 to $199.99 and frequent sales that drop most courses to $9.99 to $19.99. That makes it cheap to learn a single skill without a subscription. Udemy also offers a Personal Plan subscription for unlimited access to a curated set of courses, and Udemy Business for teams.
Udemy has free courses on many topics, and paid courses are usually bought on sale for $9.99 to $19.99. It is a strong pick for learning a specific skill quickly and cheaply, though course quality varies by instructor, so check ratings and reviews before buying, and wait for a sale rather than paying list price.
