Our verdict
Upskillist suits self-directed learners who want a broad coding and data catalogue on one subscription and can decide during a trial. Its monthly plan sits at $49.99 against a 58 rank, and the free trial of 28 days is longer than the group median.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Monthly plan at $49.99, with entry priced from $49.99

- 100 courses spanning coding, data and it
- A team plan is available for groups buying together
Cons

- People who decide with a free trial before paying
- Teams looking for a group plan across many subjects
Who should look elsewhere

- Buyers wanting live chat or phone support, as support runs on email and help centre
Free plan and trial
There is no free tier, so nothing to keep after a trial ends. What there is instead is a trial of 28 days, which sits at 12 among 63 brands ranked on trial length. That is long enough to work through several lessons in coding or data and judge the teaching style before any payment. Once the trial is gone, the platform moves to the paid subscription.
Pricing
Upskillist runs on a subscription model rather than a one off course purchase. Entry is priced from $49.99, and the monthly plan itself is $49.99. Since the model is a subscription, the monthly figure is the number that matters at renewal as well as at sign up, so it is worth treating $49.99 as the ongoing cost of access to the catalogue.
Where it sits among rivals
On entry price, Upskillist ranks 110 of 220 brands, so it is not a budget entry and not a premium one either. On the monthly plan it ranks 58 of 78, a stronger showing that suggests the recurring price is the more competitive part of the offer. On trial length it ranks 12 of 63. Taken together, the monthly plan is the more favourable of the two price measures here.
What it does well
The catalogue holds 100 courses across coding, data and it, so coding and data sit alongside business, design and languages rather than standing alone. Assessments are included, which gives the learning a checked endpoint. There is no free tier, so a trial is the only taste available, and 28 days is a generous one to spend on it. A team plan exists for groups buying access together. Offline download is not offered, so lessons require a connection.
Who runs it
Upskillist is operated by Edtech Services LLC, registered in the United States, and has been trading since 2021. Support is handled by email and through a help centre, listed as email and help centre, so help is written rather than spoken. There is a short track record compared with long established training providers, and the practical effect is that the terms and the catalogue are the places to read carefully.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free tier or a free trial?+
There is no free tier, but there is a free trial of 28 days. That length ranks 12 of 63 brands, so it is long enough to sample a few lessons and see whether the teaching style fits. After it ends, access moves to the paid subscription.
How much does Upskillist cost?+
Entry is priced from $49.99, and the monthly plan is $49.99. Because subscription access means the monthly figure repeats at renewal, treat $49.99 as the ongoing cost rather than a starting figure you pay once.
Where does Upskillist sit on price against other platforms?+
On entry price it ranks 110 of 220 brands, which is a mid field position. On the monthly plan it ranks 58 of 78, so the recurring price is the stronger part of the offer compared with rivals.
What courses are included?+
The catalogue covers 100 courses across coding, data and it. Coding, data and it sit alongside business, design, creative and languages, so the subscription covers more than a technical track if your interests stretch wider.
Do I get a certificate at the end?+
The certificate offered is a completion certificate, which is what completion lists. Professional certificates and university credit are not among those certificate types, so if you need credits for a formal qualification this is not the place to look.
Can I study without an internet connection?+
Offline download is not offered, so lessons have to be streamed while you are connected. That matters for commutes and flights, and it is worth checking your own connection before committing to a full course.
Is there a team or business plan?+
A team plan is available, which suits organisations buying access for a group. The catalogue covers coding, data and it, so a mixed team of technical and non technical staff can use the same plan. Individual pricing starts from $49.99.
Who runs Upskillist and how do I get help?+
The platform is run by Edtech Services LLC, based in the United States and trading since 2021. Support runs on email and help centre, so questions are answered by email or through the help centre rather than by live chat or phone.
