Coursera vs. Udemy: Which platform offers the best online learning experience?
Learning through online courses has grown in popularity over the years. It’s never been easier to customize your education and focus on skills you care about. In this multi-billion dollar business, websites rope in course creators to build a system of user-generated educational resources. But which one is best?
Coursera and Udemy are two of the biggest course sites. Here’s a quick comparison to know which of these sites is best for you.
Which platform has better courses?
It does come down to that, doesn’t it? This round goes to Coursera. While Udemy has some excellent course creators, Coursera offers certification programs that can help you get a job or start a career path.
Udemy has more courses, but Coursera focuses on quality over quantity. However, this means they fail in a few other categories we need to discuss.
Which platform has better pricing?
This undoubtedly comes down to Udemy. The site offers courses with pricing starting at $14.99. In recent years, however, the company insisted that its creators charge more for their classes, raising the median course price.
Even so, Coursera is much more expensive on average. Its certification program costs $49 monthly and often requires at least six months of participation. The site’s accredited online university programs can also range in tens of thousands of dollars (depending on your location).
This is still better than the average tuition price for attending in-person college classes, but that doesn’t make it any easier to pay $32,000+ for a degree online. Udemy is much more accessible, even though it doesn’t offer accreditation.
