Our verdict on each
Educative
Educative suits developers who want one subscription covering many text based coding, data and IT courses rather than a single purchase. A catalogue of 2,900 courses and a certificate fee of $19 sit behind a 21 days free trial, so the cost of exploring is low before the subscription starts.
Techurie
Techurie is a cheap way into practical tech and business course material, aimed at self-paced learners who want breadth rather than a formal qualification. Entry costs start at £4.95, the catalogue holds 250 courses, and buyers get 30 days to change their mind. Support is email and chat only, so live help is limited.

Questions about each
Educative
How much does Educative cost?+
Educative runs on a subscription basis, with a free tier and a free trial of 21 days available first. Certificates are charged separately at a certificate fee of $19. That separation matters for budgeting, since the subscription and the certificate are two separate lines rather than one combined price.
Is there a free trial, and how long does it last?+
Yes, there is a free trial running 21 days. A free tier is also included, so there are two ways to look before paying. The trial length places Educative at 17 out of 63 brands compared on that measure, which is one of its stronger positions.
Techurie
How much does Techurie cost to start?+
Techurie's entry pricing is £4.95 per course. That puts it below DRCertifications at $19.99 and Academy for Health and Fitness at £25. The catalogue runs to 250 courses, so cost depends on how many you take and whether you finish them.
Can I try Techurie before paying?+
There is no free tier, so nothing opens at no cost. Instead Techurie lists a money-back period of 30 days, which is longer than the median money-back period of 14 days across the platforms here. That refund window is the practical way to test the material.
