MasterClass is the go-to online learning service for those who want tutorials from celebs like Martin Scorsese or Neil Gaiman, and their pearls of wisdom are about to get a little cheaper.
Starting today, the base price for MasterClass' individual plan drops from $15 to $10 per month. MasterClass only offers annual plans, however, so it'll actually set you back $120 versus $180.
In our 4.5/5-star review of MasterClass, we said its price is "reasonable, though it's certainly not an impulse-buy," so this price drop may convince those who are on the fence to take the plunge.
