The Coursera platform you are evaluating is now part of a 290M-learner, 18,000-enterprise company built for workforce transformation at scale — not a 5–25-person team.
OpenSkills AI delivers practical, role-specific AI training for the tools your team uses today — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot — at a price SMBs can actually afford.
Coursera for Business is now part of the combined Coursera-Udemy company: a 290M-learner, 18,000-enterprise business focused on workforce transformation at scale. Its legacy Coursera for Teams pricing remains about $399 per user per year; a unified offer has not been announced. For a small team that needs practical AI tool adoption, that enterprise focus and per-user model are a poor fit.
