RS Recommends: This MasterClass Deal Gets You a Subscription from Just $4 a Month
MasterClass is one of the best streaming platforms on the market, with online classes taught by some of the most accomplished creatives and celebrities from the worlds of sports, entertainment, art, cooking and even politics. MasterClass also delivers incredible value too, with pricing starting at just $15/month (about the same as a Netflix subscription).
MasterClass pricing has been pretty much locked in at $15/month (or $180 for an annual subscription), and the site was offering a two-for-one deal for the holidays. Though the offer has since expired, there are still ways to score a MasterClass deal or discount, including a promo that gets you a subscription for as low as $4/month per person.

The trick: sign up for one of the MasterClass group plans, which are even further discounted right now. In fact, you can pick up a Duo or Family plan for up to 30% off.
What Are the Best MasterClass Deals? Pricing, Discounts
An annual subscription MasterClass currently costs $180 (or $15/month). That’s cheaper than a premium Netflix subscription and in-line with the popular $14 Disney+ Bundle deal. The $180 price gets you unlimited access on one device.
A better value is to subscribe to MasterClass’ “MasterClass Duo” plan, which gets you access to the platform from two devices and costs just $20 a month. Split between two users, that works out to just $10/month for each person — a $5 savings.
The best MasterClass deal for 2022 though is to subscribe to the site’s “MasterClass Family” plan, which you can split between six devices. The Family plan is currently on sale for just $276 a year (or $23/month). Split between six people, and the hack works out to less than $4/month for each user.
The “MasterClass Family” plan lets you access the service from six different devices at the same time, and you don’t have to all be watching the same thing. The plan also lets you download course videos and material to read and watch offline.
Another way to score a MasterClass discount: sign up for a group rate through the “MasterClass for Businesses” program, which gets you 5% to 35% off an annual MasterClass membership. You can get a group discount for teams of five to 20 people; use the deal to gift memberships to customers and employees, or to help train and motivate your team (say, if you work for a restaurant or in a sporting league).
If you have more than 20 people that want to sign up for MasterClass, the site also offers special business discounts, with additional perks and benefits. You’ll have to contact their sales team for full details. In general though, the more people on your team, the higher the discount — no promo code needed.

How Does MasterClass Work?
A subscription to MasterClass is an extremely thoughtful gift for anyone in your life who wants to learn a new skill. The site has more than 100 courses — many of them in the arts — and its celebrity instructors are all “masters” in their field. You can learn guitar from Carlos Santana, filmmaking from Martin Scorsese, singing from Christina Aguilera, or songwriting from St. Vincent.
New to MasterClass are courses taught by former President Bill Clinton and Hilary Clinton, plus Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, and Bill Nye (yes, the “Science Guy”).

Each class is designed for beginners, and presented as a series of videos. There’s no set class schedule, and you can learn at your own pace. You can stream the videos on a computer, or download them to a mobile device using MasterClass app (iOS and Android). A Masterclass subscription gives you unlimited access to the company’s entire course catalog. New classes are added regularly, and you’ll be able to take them immediately.
MasterClass doesn’t offer very many deals, so this group and business promotion is definitely worth checking out. If you’ve been curious about trying out an e-learning platform, and need a digital gift idea for someone — or for yourself — don’t sleep on this deal.
