Over the past year, the online learning platform MasterClass has continued to add on to its impressive, star-studded offerings, with a lineup of new teachers that include Martha Stewart, Mark Cuban, Kris Jenner, Amy Poehler and more.
If you’re looking for a MasterClass deal, you can snag a subscription to the e-learning platform right now for just $40 a year, as part of their Premium plan. While paying for the MasterClass Premium plan annually costs $240, the site lets you share that subscription with up to six devices, which brings the cost down to just $40 (or about $3.50 per month). This is the cheapest way to get MasterClass and a great opportunity for friends and family to get in on a deal together.

Prefer to just sign up for MasterClass on your own? The best deal there is the Individual plan, where an annual subscription costs just $10 a month, billed annually (MasterClass used to offer monthly pricing for $12, so you’re saving a good chunk of change here).
Other plans include the Plus plan (which can be used across 2 devices) for $15/month, also billed annually. Team up with a family member or friend to split the cost of a Plus membership to bring down the monthly cost to only $7.50 each per month.
An annual subscription to MasterClass gets you unlimited access to 200+ courses on the site, with topics ranging from screenwriting to acting to directing. Celebrity instructors on MasterClass include filmmakers such as Ava DuVernay, Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee and David Lynch; actors such as Jodie Foster, Steve Martin and Judd Apatow, Amy Poehler and Kevin Hart; music legends such as Ringo Starr, John Legend and Mariah Carey; and billionaire entrepreneurs such as Mark Cuban, Martha Stewart and Whiteny Herd.
MasterClass courses are offered in easy-to-digest video format, with members able to watch the videos on their own timing and at their own pace. Stream the videos on a computer, or via your mobile device using the MasterClass app (iOS and Android). Many of the classes come with downloadable course materials too, if you want to take your reading off-line.
It’s been a busy past few years for MasterClass, who saw subscriptions increase at the onset of the pandemic. Last May, the online education platform raised $100 million in new funding, bringing the current valuation of the company to more than $800 million. Since then, they’ve unveiled dozens of new courses, and a behind-the-scenes team, that have transformed the e-learning platform into a premiere platform for entertainment.
The goal for the company now is to expand its subscriber base, which is something their frequent deals and promos should be able to do.
Their annual subscription gets users instant access to the company’s entire course catalog, with no limit into what courses you take and how often you take them. The Plus and Premium plans let you download the course materials for offline reading too (say, if you’re on a plane or subway commute).
