Skillshare Pricing Overview

Skillshare has done an amazing job providing a very wide variety of tech and non-tech centered courses. The quality and range of content is exactly what I was looking for. They also run very good marketing campaigns, allowing new users to use a one month free trial before subscribing.

There is no discount for students, and there is no structure that allows you to subscribe at different price points. If you don't want to pay $99 for the unlimited plan, there is no cheaper option (although they do offer some free abbreviated courses).

Skillshare has allowed me to learn how to better my illustration skills, and helped me learn new skills in Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects.

There are some interesting classes in a variety of different areas.

I had a problematic charge dispute with the company. Fortunately I was given a full refund thanks to the customer service at SkillShare. Make sure you follow up with the company if you feel as though you were charged unfairly.

It allows for a bit of crowd-sourced education in a number of areas, with some good classes here and there.

I haven't used SkillShare's service and don't have an interest in it.

Predatory subscription model. I created an account when a colleague mentioned it, which requires a credit card. SkillShare is using the popular tech money grab strategy of a subscription model nobody wants. In large font - the monthly price; in tiny font - the fact that it would be billed annually. I will risk forgetting to cancel a trial in exchange for a one-month charge to my card, but annual by default is business in bad faith. I tried rejecting the charge via my bank, but apparently, that didn't process successfully. Unfortunately, with bank delays, I wasn't sure that it hadn't successfully rejected the charge until it was too late. Their explicit policy is "We don't offer refunds for annual memberships after 7 days of the charge."

I haven't even used the service.

There were some unique courses that I'm not sure I would be able to find in other services

Expensive subscription. I was charged monthly following a free trial and was not notified that my card was being charged. I ended up paying a lot of money for a service I wasn't even using. It was also painfully difficult to cancel it. When I reached out to customer service about it, they were largely unhelpful. I think that instead of tricking customers into accidentally paying for their service, they should focus on motivating customers to want to actively purchase their content.

I'm not sure I received many benefits from Skillshare. Some of the content was interesting, but not worth the price in my opinion

I love the teachers who have put their experience/expertise in a specific subject into a video format. I also love how the lessons are broken up so you can jump back to rewatch a video for references or come back and complete the lesson later on. I also enjoyed how there were emails that showed recommended courses!

Being a student I was not a fan of the pricing of the product. It does cost $100 for the subscription up front, but I think it would be better to have a type of monthly subscription plan to help ease the financial burden of a student.

There are a lot of videos that are introductory, which can help build a foundation for a specific area. As well as multiple other videos to help build up your soft skills, such as leadership and organizational. I find that it's sometimes hard to really pinpoint what you need help with when it comes to soft skills and having video references are great for people who don't know exactly how to start to improve those skills or who don't have the opportunity to work on them.

I like the price and many of the courses

More free courses should be available on.

Skillshare gives you access to many courses at a great price. I also like that skillshare also gives professionals or experts the option of making money off there own course. I also like the price and the video formats because it's easy to use.

For years we needed a proper platform for the beginners and new creators to learn skills useful for their career and profession. I grew up in a country where education system don't let you explore your true intrests and talents, and focus majorly on learning old methods which could get you in a job to secure life. but many people today including me want to learn what they truly want and enjoy their life while earning good. And thats why someothing like skill share is doing great job in helping people find their true talents and push their limit by educating them what truly matters.

If there was only skillshare doing the job it does, there wouldn't have been a dislike, but there are many similar applications and there is Youtube, the biggest and most challenging competition of skillshare and likewise applications, which teaches everything for free, is in way better quality, have a community of millions and is up to date in every tutorial you need. Taking about cons of skills share here are few: 1. Lack of certification to prove the complete learning. (Not necessary but can be provided) 2. Annoying ads popping up now and then. 3. Tutorials of many software are not up to date. 4. Poor video quality

I am a self-learned graphic designer and use over 10+ apps for my professional projects and artworks. , Most of them I learned from youtube, which never disappointed me. Everything I needed was right there at one click of a button, though the problem was everything seemed scattered. All bits and pieces of information were here and there. I heard the name of skillshare in early 2020 by their youtube ads focusing on artists and designers, and I thought, let's give it a try! why not? Maybe i will find something helpful, and I was right. Everything was great, brilliant teachers, great set of courses, affordable prices, and even free trials. But nothing was amazing, it was good but not mind-blowing. I was solving all these problems already with Youtube. The only benefit was that it was organized and separate.

I love Skillshare for it's variety of classes they offer. You can learn anything from knitting, to cooking, writing, logo design, analytics, photography, and so on. The platform has thousands of classes on any topic you can think of. The classes are taught by business owners, freelancers, and people loving what they teach about which is a nice change when you compare it to classes at your school where some teachers seem like they don't really care about the topic they teach.

I'd like to see the bad classes removed, but there are not too many of these. Most people make quite good classes. I'd say that most of them are even above average. You can't really go wrong for the money you pay.

Skillshare is a platform that provides very inexpensive education. The classes are usually short and you learn specific skills. Every class should include a project where you immediately put your new skills to work. You can get feedback from your classmates and the teacher as well. You can even win prizes sometimes. It's a great community that offers help from others in addition to the skills you learn by watching the videos.
