Deal Overview
MasterClass is offering 50 % off its annual memberships for a limited time. The discount brings the Premium tier down to $10 per month (billed yearly), while the Plus and Standard plans are reduced to $8 per month and $5 per month, respectively. All tiers unlock the full catalog of classes; the main differences are the number of devices that can stream simultaneously and whether offline viewing is included.
Subscription Tiers
| Tier | Monthly Cost (billed yearly) | Devices | Offline Viewing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $5 | 1 device | No |
| Plus | $8 | 2 devices | Yes (downloads) |
| Premium | $10 | 6 devices | Yes (downloads) |
Each plan provides access to the entire MasterClass library, so the choice mainly depends on convenience and device needs.
