What is Skillshare?

Skillshare is a subscription library of short, project-based classes, strongest in creative skills like illustration, design, photography and video. At $168 a year it is fair; at half price it is good value. In 2025 the code AFF50 cut the annual plan to $84 for new members.

That code ended on 28 November 2025, before Black Friday itself, so last year's discount went to people who bought early. It applied to annual memberships for new members only.

What you get for $84

Classes are usually under an hour, broken into short videos with a hands-on project. That format suits learning Procreate brushes or a video editing trick over a weekend. It does not suit formal credentials: you will not get the kind of certificate employers check.

Who should not subscribe

People looking for career credentials should look at Coursera or DataCamp. Programmers will find thinner coverage than on Udemy or Codecademy. And if you would take two classes all year, paying $84 is still more than those classes are worth to you.

Our view: if you are a creative hobbyist who learns by doing, grab the annual plan when a 50% code shows up.
