This article compares both so you can pick what fits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-this-article\">In this article<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#subscription\">Subscription<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#individual\">Individual purchase<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#compare\">Side-by-side comparison<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#choose\">Which one is right for you?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faqs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subscription\">Subscription<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tutorac subscription gives you unlimited access to every video course in the library for a flat fee. While your subscription is active you can start, stop, and switch between as many courses as you like.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Monthly Plan:<\/strong> $3 \/ month, billed monthly.<\/li><li><strong>Yearly Plan:<\/strong> $36 \/ year, billed annually.<\/li><li>A promotional <strong>$13.99 Yearly Plan<\/strong> may be offered to eligible accounts.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subscription includes access to 750+ courses, hands-on learning experiences, and personalised course recommendations.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1436\" height=\"1355\" src=\"https:\/\/tutorac.com\/help-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vc-subscription-plans.png\" alt=\"Tutorac subscription plans\" class=\"wp-image-186\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"individual\">Individual purchase<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every course also has its own one-time price. On the course detail page you will see <strong>Add to cart<\/strong> and <strong>Buy now<\/strong> buttons. Once you complete the purchase, the course is yours \u2014 you can watch it whenever you want, even if you do not have an active subscription.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Course prices vary by tutor and topic. Some courses are also discounted from their original price.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"compare\">Side-by-side comparison<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Access:<\/strong> Subscription = all 750+ courses. Individual purchase = only the course(s) you bought.<\/li><li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Subscription = flat $3\/mo or $36\/yr. Individual = per-course price.<\/li><li><strong>What happens if you stop paying:<\/strong> Subscription = library access ends when your plan expires. Individual = course remains yours.<\/li><li><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Subscription = broad, exploratory learning. Individual = one specific skill you want to own long-term.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choose\">Which one is right for you?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the <strong>subscription<\/strong> if you plan to explore multiple topics, take more than one or two courses, or use Tutorac videos regularly. Choose <strong>individual purchase<\/strong> if you want one specific course you know you will return to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also combine the two \u2014 keep the subscription for exploring, and buy a key course you want to keep permanently.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If my subscription ends, do I lose courses I bought individually?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Individually purchased courses remain in your library regardless of subscription status.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I switch between monthly and yearly plans?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.

Plan changes typically take effect at the start of the next billing cycle.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the $13.99 yearly plan always available?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a promotional offer and may not be visible to every account.
