Teams price comes directly from Coursera's pricing page. Coursera does not publish an enterprise list price, so no dollar figure is shown for the Enterprise tier - it is set by quote. The quote drivers are covered in the negotiation section below.
University degree pathways - separately billed
Coursera's differentiator vs LinkedIn Learning and Udemy Business is the university-partnership programme catalogue: MSc Computer Science (University of Illinois, ASU), iMBA (Illinois), MSc Data Science (Imperial), and similar. These are NOT included in Teams or Enterprise pricing. Cost ranges:
- MSc programmes: typically $15,000 to $25,000 per learner per programme, billed by the partner university.
- MBA programmes: typically $22,000 to $33,000 per learner per programme.
- Professional Certificates (Google, IBM, Meta etc): included in Teams / Enterprise Coursera Plus catalogue.
- Specialisations: mostly included in Coursera Plus catalogue.
For corporate sponsorship of degree-level study, the per-employee cost dwarfs the LMS license. ATD averages do not capture this category.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Coursera for Business cost?
Coursera for Teams (5-499 users) is published at $399 per user per year, billed annually. Enterprise plans for 500+ users are custom-quoted and Coursera does not publish an enterprise list price; the quoted per-seat number moves with seat count, contract length, content tier and whether degree pathways are bundled. The published Teams rate is the only firm public anchor.
What's the difference between Coursera Teams and Enterprise?
Teams targets 5-499 users with self-serve admin, basic analytics, and access to ~10,000 courses. Enterprise adds advanced analytics, dedicated success manager, SSO/SAML, custom learning paths, university-partner certificate pathways, and access to the full Coursera Plus catalogue including Specialisations and Professional Certificates.
Are degrees and Professional Certificates included?
Coursera Plus catalogue (which includes most Professional Certificates and Specialisations) is included in Teams and Enterprise. Full university degree programmes (MSc, MBA pathways from partner universities) are not included in business pricing - they are billed separately per learner per programme. Some enterprises subsidise degree pathways at additional cost.
How does Coursera compare to LinkedIn Learning and Udemy Business on price?
On published Team-tier list price Coursera for Teams ($399/yr) sits at the top of the SMB tier (LinkedIn Learning Teams $379.88/yr, Udemy Business Team $360/yr). The justification on Coursera's side is the university-partnership content and Professional Certificate pathways. At enterprise scale all three switch to custom quotes that none of the three publish, so a like-for-like enterprise comparison is not possible from public data.
