I have been looking for quite some time…

I have been looking for quite some time for arts using mindfulness. When I spotted Skillshare (probably on someone's website) I thought I would take a look. After just a couple classes I knew I wanted to join and have access to all the classes that are offered. I hope you keep adding more.

Skillshare just want to your money

I signed up for Skillshare in 2020 when, like many people, I had more time at home and wanted to try something productive. At the time, the classes seemed good and I did find the platform interesting.
However, my experience with the company’s business practices has left me very unsettled. I lost access to the email connected to my account. I stopped using Skillshare and eventually forgot about the subscription. Even so, Skillshare continued auto-renewing and charging me for years.
What was especially frustrating was that the charges continued for so long, even though my card information should have changed over time. When I contacted customer service, the response felt more like someone simply following a policy than someone actually looking into the situation or escalating it in a meaningful way. I was told my membership would be cancelled and they’d offer a “free” membership, but after having had my card charged. What was free about that? If I basically paid for the membership already. On top of that they did not really address the issue, especially since my account was connected to an email I no longer had access to. In that sense, the offer felt less like a solution.
My main concern is not with the quality of the classes themselves, but with how difficult it can be to stop being charged once access to an account is lost. If a customer has not used the service for years and cannot access the original email, there should be a clear and simple way to cancel the subscription, and resolve the billing issue and not make the customer feel like they are getting something free that they just paid for.
Because of this experience, I would be very hesitant to use Skillshare again or recommend it to others. The courses may be useful, but the subscription and cancellation practices left me feeling taken advantage of as a customer.

Hi Edy,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we're sorry to hear about the experience you’ve described.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to lose access to your account email and still see ongoing charges. Situations like this are never what we want for our members, especially when it comes to managing or ending a subscription. Your concerns about clarity, cancellation access, and how the support interaction felt are completely valid, and we're sorry that the resolution you received didn’t feel helpful or reassuring.

We also hear your point about wanting a clearer, simpler process for account recovery and subscription cancellation when access to original login details is lost. That’s important feedback, and we'll make sure it’s shared with the appropriate team for review.

While we're glad you found value in the classes themselves, we understand that the overall experience with billing and support has significantly impacted your trust. We appreciate you being open about this, even when it’s difficult to share.

Thank you again for your honesty.

What I love about Skillshare is that you can do a short lesson, and still learn a lot from it. You can do it in your tempo, and when you have time. I do the french course now, and it helps me to learn faster. A good input for a teacher like me.

I've only been using Skillshare for a…

I've only been using Skillshare for a few days, but everything seems great so far!
Good classes, a wide choice and not too taxing in length.
One one of the videos I have watched thus far (1 of 3) the stating timing was incorrect, which wasn't great as I had planned around what was listed.
On the whole, it seems good.
The only point I find a little disconcerting, is that there is no pricing listed on the website (that I can find anywhere) One only finds out once signed-up to the free trial month!
That said, it obviously doesn't take away from what is available, but it would be nice to know before submitting information to sign up - as it may have changed my decision to do that... but, I guess that is the point of not showing the pricing!
