Coursera for Business pricing: Coursera Enterprise pricing and Teams cost

Coursera for Business costs $399 per user a year on the Teams plan, billed annually, which works out to $33.25 per user a month. Coursera sells Teams for groups of 2 to 499 people and quotes the Enterprise plan privately for 500 users and up. We read both figures on Coursera's own Teams and compare-plans pages in September 2026: the $399 base price sits in the page data behind the price widget, and the Teams page advertises "Upskill 2 to 499 employees".

Two details change what a team actually pays. First, the Teams page runs checkout promotions: while we were reading it, a first-year discount was applied at checkout, valid for new Teams subscribers only, up to 125 licenses, and the terms state that the plan "automatically renews at the base price per user on an annual basis". Budget year two at $399, not at the promotional rate. Second, registered nonprofits get 25% off Teams licenses bought on the website, which puts the seat at $299.25.

If you are pricing this for a company of 20 people, the list total is $7,980 a year, paid up front for every seat whether or not the person logs in.

Coursera answers its own question "What's the difference between the Teams and Enterprise plan?" this way: Teams "is for groups of up to 499 people and offers our full catalog of courses, customization tools like learning paths, translations, and an interactive AI guide for learners, and tracking features", while Enterprise "also includes AI-assisted custom course building, dedicated customer success managers, and enterprise-level integrations." The compare-plans page adds that the success manager comes "with a minimum annual contract" and the integrations come "for an extra fee".

We parsed the feature matrix on the compare-plans page tick by tick. These are the rows where the two columns differ:

The rows that match on both plans are the learner-facing ones: the course catalog, Guided Projects, the 200,000 short clips, the AI learning guidance, mobile apps, skills analytics and custom learning paths with badging. So the question for a buyer is rarely about content. It is whether your IT team will accept a learning tool without single sign-on, and whether you need completion data flowing into another system. If the answer to either is no, you are an Enterprise buyer even at 60 seats, and the $399 list price stops being the relevant number.

Coursera publishes no Enterprise rate, so any figure you see is either from a buyer or from a vendor-data site. Vendr, which aggregates buyer-reported contracts, puts the median Coursera buyer at $49,000 a year, with a reported range of $16,500 to $125,100. Its per-learner bands are $350 to $550 a year for 50 to 200 learners, $300 to $475 for 200 to 500, and $250 to $425 above 500. Vendr also reports 15 to 25% off list on volume and a further 10 to 20% on two or three-year terms. Those are Vendr figures, not Coursera prices.

What moves the quote, based on what Coursera itself says is extra:

Ask for the proposal with seat count, term, services and integrations as separate lines. A single blended number makes it impossible to compare against the Teams list price or against a platform that bills only active learners.

At list price Coursera for Teams is the most expensive of the three big course libraries per seat, and the only one whose self-serve plan reaches 499 people. The table uses annual list prices read from each vendor between 15 and 22 September 2026. CompanyLMS is priced at its published annual Business rate of $6 per active learner a month.

This is not a like-for-like comparison and it should not be read as one. Coursera, Udemy and LinkedIn Learning sell access to courses other people wrote. CompanyLMS sells a platform for the training you own: your onboarding path, your harassment and safety courses, your policy sign-offs, and certifications that expire. The table answers a narrower question: are you paying for a catalog, or for administration?

The 100 and 300-learner rows are where Coursera stands out. Udemy and LinkedIn Learning push you into a sales conversation above 50 seats; Coursera will still sell you 300 seats at a listed price. That is useful if you want to avoid a quote cycle. It is also $119,700 a year, which is more than most mid-market companies spend on their whole learning stack.

Coursera's own business pages do not agree on how big the catalog is. On the same day in September 2026 we read four numbers: the Teams page says 12,000+ courses, the Teams plan card on the compare page says 10,600+, and the feature matrix below it has one row for a 9,200+ course catalog and another for 12,500+. Some of the gap is marketing rounding. Some of it is real, because Coursera keeps a separate Teams content catalog and a Coursera Plus catalog, and links to both from its FAQ.

For a buyer the practical step is simple: before you pay, open the Teams catalog link and search for the five or six courses that justified the purchase. If a specific Google, IBM or university certificate is the reason you are buying, confirm it is in the Teams catalog, not only in Coursera Plus or Enterprise.

It also matters what the catalog does not cover. Coursera is strong on data, AI, cloud, project management and leadership. It has no content for your company's own policies, your safety procedures or the state-specific harassment training that California, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware and Maine require. Those have to live somewhere else.

Coursera for Business is a content platform with learning paths, dashboards and skills analytics. It is not an LMS in the sense a US HR or compliance team means. Coursera says it integrates "with over 30 popular LMS and LXP systems", and it lists native LTI connections to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and D2L on Enterprise. That is the tell: it is built to plug into a learning system, not to be the system of record for training a company must prove it delivered.

Plenty of companies should buy Coursera. If you have an engineering or analytics team that needs structured upskilling and certificates carry weight in your hiring market, it is good value. What it will not do is replace the tool that proves your required training happened. For that, see compliance training software and certification tracking software.

The terms are short, and most of them are on the Teams FAQ rather than the plan card.

• Payment: "You can pay by debit/credit card, PayPal, or invoice. Checks are not accepted."
• Refund: "you can get your money back within 14 days by logging into your account." Coursera adds that "any earned certificates will be revoked if refunded", so a learner who finishes a short certificate in week one loses it if you cancel.
• Nonprofit discount: 25% off Teams licenses bought on the website, for registered nonprofits or international charity equivalents.
• Promotional discount: periodic first-year offers at checkout, new subscribers only, up to 125 licenses, renewing at the base price.
• Renewal: annual auto-renewal, cancellable in account settings.

The 14-day window is the real evaluation period, because Coursera for Teams has no free trial on the plan card. Put three or four people on it in the first week, check completion data in the admin dashboard, and decide before day 14.
