How much do coding classes cost in 2026?
The honest answer: the format decides the price more than the brand does. Private tutors charge by the hour, branded kids-coding programmes sell packs of classes priced after a demo call, self-paced platforms charge once and include no teacher, and live small-batch schools charge a flat monthly fee. Modern Age Coders' group batch is ₹1,499 a month for eight live one-hour classes, which is ₹187 a class, shown here in your own currency with no enrolment fee and no contract.
Coding classes are sold four ways. By the hour (private tutors, typically one child, billed per session). By the pack (branded kids-coding programmes: a bundle of 24 to 100 or more classes, discounted for size, quoted on a call). Once (self-paced video platforms, no teacher). By the month (live small-batch schools: a fixed number of live classes for a flat fee you can stop). To compare them, reduce every quote to one number: the price of one live class with a teacher who knows your child. Ours is ₹187 in a group of five to ten, ₹375 in a mini batch of three to four, and ₹1,250 one to one.
How each format is priced, and what to ask before you pay
We do not print other providers' prices here, because most are quoted on a call and change with the pack you buy. What does not change is the pricing model, and the model tells you what to ask.
What actually drives the price
Batch size
The teacher's hour is the cost. Spread across one child it is a tutor's rate; across five to ten it is a fraction of that; across thirty in a recorded video it is nearly nothing, and so is the attention. The batch size a provider is willing to print is the single most useful number on any price list.
Live or recorded
A recording costs the provider nothing after the first sale, which is why self-paced courses are cheap and why completion rates are low. A live class costs a teacher's time every single week. You are paying for the fact that someone is expecting your child at 6 PM on Tuesday.
Where the teacher lives
A tutor in Mumbai, Manchester or Boston prices against the local wage. A live online school teaching from India pays good teachers well in their own economy, which is why a fee that looks low from abroad is not a thin class. The way to test that is a demo, not a spreadsheet.
Packs, discounts and lock-ins
A large pack at a deep discount looks like value on the call and becomes a loss the month your child's interest moves to football. Prefer a fee you can stop. If a provider only sells packs, ask for the smallest one and the exact refund rule before you pay.
Fees around the fee
Enrolment charges, registration, kits, certificates sold separately, and "priority support" tiers can add a meaningful slice to the first year. Ask for the total for twelve months, written down, before comparing it with anything else on this page.
Age and subject
A Scratch class for a seven-year-old and an AI-agents course for a working professional are not the same product and are rarely the same price. Specialist adult courses sit above children's fees at most schools. Ours are listed by course on the pricing page, in one currency for your region.
Where Modern Age Coders lands, and why
We are a live online school teaching coding, AI and mathematics to students from age 6 to adults, in India and abroad, since 2020. Every class is one hour, live, in a batch of five to ten, taught by a mentor who knows the student by name. Not recordings, not a learning app, not a rotating pool of tutors.
Our published coding fees
Rated 4.9 across 547 Google reviews. The first class is a free demo; if you want a full 45 to 60 minute class today or tomorrow, the Priority Live Demo has a small fee that is adjusted against your first month if you enrol. Judge the teaching there, not here.
Six questions that turn any quote into a comparable number
How many live classes, exactly?
Per month, per pack, per term. A monthly fee with eight classes and a monthly fee with four are different prices.
How many students in the room?
Get the maximum, not the "typical". If the answer is "it varies", assume the largest number they will admit to.
Who is the teacher, and is it the same one next month?
The demo teacher is often the best one. Ask whether your child keeps them.
What does my child keep?
A project they can open and show you is worth more than a certificate. Ask to see what last term's students built, on a live link.
What happens when we stop?
Refund rule for a pack, notice period for a monthly plan, and whether recordings or notes survive the last class.
What is the total for a year, in writing?
Fee, enrolment, kit, certificate, everything. Compare that number with ours, then compare the classes in a demo.
Frequently asked questions
How much do coding classes cost per month?
It depends on the format more than the brand. A private tutor charges by the hour and bills per session. Branded kids-coding programmes sell packs of classes, often quoted only after a demo call, so the monthly figure is the pack price divided by the months it lasts. Self-paced platforms charge a one-time fee or a subscription and include no teacher. Live small-batch schools charge a flat monthly fee for a fixed number of live classes; Modern Age Coders publishes its monthly fee on this page and on the pricing page, in your own currency, with no enrolment fee.
What should a monthly coding fee include?
A stated number of live classes with a named teacher, a stated batch size, recordings or notes for a missed class, a way to ask questions between classes, a project the student builds and keeps, and a certificate on completion. If any of those is missing or vague, the fee is not comparable with one that includes them. At Modern Age Coders a group month is eight one-hour live classes in a batch of five to ten, and every plan can be stopped at the end of any month.
Why do many coding programmes not publish their prices?
Because the price is negotiated on the call after a demo, usually as a pack of classes with a discount that depends on how many you buy at once. That is not dishonest, but it makes comparison hard and it favours the family that commits to the largest pack. Ask for the per-class rate, the total number of classes, what happens if you stop early, and whether the demo teacher is the teacher your child will get.
Are free coding courses enough for a child?
For a taste, yes, and for extra practice alongside a class they are excellent. On their own they rarely carry a child past the first few weeks, because nobody notices when the child stops. The cost of a free course is the months it takes to discover that. Use free platforms to confirm interest, then buy the smallest live commitment that has a teacher who will notice.
Is a one-to-one coding tutor worth the higher fee?
For a specific goal with a deadline, an exam board syllabus, a competition, a portfolio due in three months, often yes. For a child learning to code for the first time, a small group is usually better value and often better teaching: hearing another student's question is half the lesson. Our one-to-one plan exists for the first case; most families start in a group.
Do international families pay a different fee?
Yes, a flat fee in US dollars, shown automatically on this page and on the pricing page when you visit from outside India. You never see two currencies at once, and the classes, batch sizes and teachers are the same. The fee is lower than most local formats in the US, UK or Gulf because our cost base is in India, not because the teaching is thinner; judge that in a demo class.
Price the teaching, not the marketing
Book a free demo class and watch one full hour of live, small-batch coding teaching. Then compare it, class for class, with anything you have been quoted.
