Our verdict
Udemy suits learners who shop across many sellers and want a longer refund window: 30 days for refunds places it third among 159 brands on this measure. Prices, certificates and course quality vary by seller rather than by platform, so it fits browsing buyers rather than anyone following one curriculum.
