Skillshare costs $13.99/month or $167.88/year. If you signed up through a YouTube sponsor code, your free trial converts to a paid subscription automatically — and many people don't notice for months. Here's how to cancel.

After the trial, you're charged $13.99/month or $167.88/year unless you cancel. Millions of people are paying for Skillshare they signed up for on a whim.
