Pluralsight plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Complete | $29/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| AI+ | $29/month | 2 | +$0/month, 1 more feature |
| Cloud+ | $29/month | 2 | +$0/month, 2 more features |
| Core Tech | $45/month | 4 | +$16/month, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Education
Too few education tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Pluralsight badges page.
Before you pay for Pluralsight
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between $29/month and $45/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Pluralsight against the tools that do have one before committing.
Pluralsight runs on web, ios, android, apple tv, and is published by Pluralsight LLC of Draper, Utah. The full record is on the Pluralsight review, and the rest of the category is under best education tools.
