Why you can trust us: Our expert staff has extensively reviewed, tested, and researched streaming services and products since 2017. Our honest opinions and up-to-date information are why millions of people come to The Streamable. Take a look at how we test subscriptions and devices for MasterClass and others.

MasterClass is the streaming platform that provides unlimited access to 180+ instructors and classes across 11 subjects such as Arts & Entertainment, Business, Design & Style, Sports & Gaming, Writing and more. Sessions offer members a structured, 30-day curriculum that gives them the ability to engage with peers and to learn meaningful skills through step-by-step guidance.

For instance, Mariah Carey teaches you the musical tricks of a diva, Gordon Ramsay welcomes you inside his kitchen, and James Cameron takes you behind the camera. Members can plan their career with Elaine Welteroth, stay motivated with Lewis Hamilton, learn how to deliver a strong pitch with Shonda Rhimes, and negotiate with the master Chris Voss.

All subscriptions are annual. There is no monthly option. If you’re not satisfied with your subscription, you can get a full refund within 30 days.

The Individual subscription serves one account and one device, the Duo is for one account and two devices, the Family plan is one account available on six devices.

Review

Content

Originals

Each immersive learning experience features about 20 video lessons per class, lasting an average of 10 minutes each. Each class consists of 2-5 or more hours of video content. There are also downloadable Instructor Guides. There are world-class instructors like Gordon Ramsay (chef), Serena Williams (athlete), Bobbi Brown (makeup), Diane von Furstenberg (fashion), David Sedaris (humor), Alicia Keys (songwriting), and so much more.

The utility and entertainment value of each class varies. Penn & Teller do a fascinating and fun magic class, Martin Scorsese gushes about film history more than teaching you how to direct, and Annie Leibovitz’s photography session boils down to “take a picture and let your assistant color correct it.” You will find some classes fascinating and others more along the lines of a lengthy interview.
