Udemy shopping guide: how to save more

Udemy at a glance

How Udemy pricing works

Udemy is a marketplace, so the price of a course depends on the instructor’s list price and on whether the course is part of a Udemy promotion. Through the Udemy Deals Program, Udemy uses data and modeling to set promotional prices for participating courses, and the company says millions of students enroll in courses discounted this way every year. Udemy states that promotional prices do not go below $9.99 in the US (or the local equivalent). Prices also adjust over time based on demand, and in some countries, including the US, newly published paid courses are not discounted in Udemy promotions for their first 14 days.

Because promotional prices change frequently, the same course can show a different price on different days. If a course is not urgent, adding it to your wishlist and checking back is a reasonable approach.

Best ways to save on Udemy

• Buy during a Udemy promotion. Participating courses are discounted regularly, so the list price is often not what you pay.
• Try Personal Plan if you take many courses. When Udemy offers a promotional free trial, you can explore the subscription library and cancel before the trial ends without being charged.
• Use instructor coupon links. Instructors can create coupons for their own courses, including best-price, custom-price and free coupons, and share them through their own channels.
• Use the 30-day refund window wisely. Eligible individual course purchases can be refunded within 30 days, which lowers the risk of trying a course.
• Train a small team with Team Plan. Organizations can start a Team Plan free trial before paying for annual seats.

Personal Plan subscription

Personal Plan gives subscribers access to a library of courses rather than buying them one at a time. Udemy notes that subscriptions are not available to all learners and that fees can vary by factors such as account location. Free trials are offered as promotional campaigns: your trial length, end date and subscription fee appear on your Subscriptions page, you can cancel at any time during the trial without being charged, and the trial converts to the paid subscription when it ends. Previous Personal Plan users may not qualify for a promotional trial. In some regions, monthly subscribers can switch to an annual plan, with the price prorated at checkout.

Important: Udemy says subscription plans purchased on Udemy.com do not come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and no refunds or partial refunds are available unless required by applicable law. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period. Subscriptions purchased in the iOS or Android app are billed by Apple or Google.

Refund policy for courses

Udemy’s refund policy says eligible courses purchased on Udemy can be refunded within 30 days. Udemy may deny a refund if a notable portion of the course has been consumed or downloaded, if refunds have been requested for the same course more than once, if a user has requested an excessive number of refunds, or if the account has been banned. Refunds are issued either to the original payment method or as Udemy credits, and purchases made through certain methods, including in-app purchases on iOS, are refunded as credits only.

Udemy Business Team Plan

For small organizations, the Udemy Business Team Plan is listed at $360 per user per year as of October 2026 and is designed for teams of roughly 2 to 50 people. Team Plan is an annual subscription paid in full up front; monthly payments are not available, and the administrator also needs a license. A free trial is available in most regions, limited to one trial per organization. Udemy Business purchases are final and non-refundable under the Udemy Business agreement. Larger organizations can contact sales about the Enterprise Plan.

Gifting courses

Udemy does not sell traditional gift cards. Instead, you can gift individual courses on Udemy.com and schedule the gift to arrive on a specific day. Gifting is not available in the mobile app, and subscriptions cannot be gifted. If a gift purchased with a card is refunded within the policy, the refund goes back to the original payment method; gifts bought with Udemy credits are refunded as credits to the sender.

Udemy sale calendar

Udemy runs promotions through the year rather than on a single published calendar, and course participation is not guaranteed for every promotion. Because prices are set per course and change often, we recommend checking the actual price on the course page instead of relying on an advertised sale date. Personal Plan trials and Team Plan trials can be offered at any time, so look at your Subscriptions page or the Udemy Business plans page for what is available to you.

How to use a promo code at Udemy

Most Udemy coupons are instructor coupons tied to a specific course. To use one:

1. Open the course link shared by the instructor, which often applies the coupon automatically.
2. If you have a code instead, open the course page and look for the field to apply a coupon near the price.
3. Enter the code exactly as given and confirm the new price is shown before checkout.
4. Complete your purchase and check that the final price matches.

Instructors can create only a limited number of coupons per course each month, and a coupon only works for the course it was created for. If a coupon no longer shows a lower price, it may have ended or reached its limit.

Tips before you buy

Read the course curriculum, preview lessons and check recent reviews before purchasing. Look at when the course was last updated, especially for fast-changing software topics. If you only need one or two courses, buying them during a promotion is usually cheaper than a subscription; if you plan to take several courses, compare the Personal Plan fee shown to you with the cost of buying courses individually.
