[2026] Most Popular Udemy Courses: Top 250 by Enrollment

In late 2025, Coursera and Udemy announced a “merger”, with Coursera acquiring Udemy in an all-stock deal. Since then, the values of both companies have continued to slide after announcements in 2025 of a projected revenue growth of just 1%.

Udemy at a Glance

Udemy is one of the largest online platforms for learning job skills. According to the company, they have 84 million registered users and an analysis by Class Central shows they’ve launched over 290,000 courses since 2010.

The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the fortune of many online providers. Udemy was no exception. In 2020, propelled by the pandemic, they raised $123 million and increased their valuation by over $1 billion.

In 2022, the situation changed. Overall, the company raised ~$300 million at a valuation over $3 billion. But Udemy’s market cap has significantly fallen, like that of many other online course platforms.

Between 2022 and early 2024, its stock price remained fairly constant, but has since declined somewhat with news of layoffs and declining instructor payouts and a new CEO.
