Degreed

Overview

Degreed brings learning and skills data into one enterprise-oriented platform. Degreed Learning supports personalized development plans and pathways, while Skills+ analyzes and normalizes skills data, maps gaps, and supports reporting and skill inference. The offering is designed around organizational workforce needs rather than individual learners shopping for a standalone course library.

That distinction matters: Degreed can connect learning activity to workforce skills, but its custom bundle is priced according to company needs, budget, and headcount. Organizations seeking a clearly priced, self-serve option may find it harder to assess fit before contacting the company.

Key features

Learning and skills

Personalized learning plans and pathways give organizations a way to structure development around roles or goals. Skills+ adds normalized skill data, gap mapping, reporting, and inference, making the platform relevant when workforce planning is part of the learning brief rather than an afterthought.

AI-powered recommendations, conversational coaching, skill inference, and assessments extend that approach. These capabilities may help connect development activity with skills, though the platform’s enterprise scope makes it a more natural choice for organizational programs than a personal learning app.

Structured programs and connections

Degreed Academies supports cohort learning with due dates, prerequisites, projects, feedback, peer discussions, and live or asynchronous training. This is useful for teams that need more structure than a collection of self-paced resources, though the range of program elements is most valuable when an organization has the capacity to manage cohorts and learning pathways.

Degreed Learning says it has 800+ integrations, including Slack and Microsoft Teams. A browser extension captures and shares resources, while an API connects with LMS, HCM, and other platforms. Together, these options make Degreed more compelling for organizations trying to fit learning into existing workflows and systems.

Security and support

Degreed states that customer data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2. Its trust center describes Azure hosting across the United States, Europe, and Canada; SOC 2 Type II reports and other security documents can be requested. The pricing page lists 24/7 customer support, and the Knowledge Center provides guides, FAQs, and troubleshooting resources.

Pricing

Degreed describes its pricing model as freemium and says a free plan is available. The enterprise option is the Custom Degreed bundle, with custom pricing based on company, needs, budget, and headcount; contact Degreed for pricing. It includes enterprise products and services, with custom bundles available.

The free plan gives buyers a way to start without a quoted enterprise bundle, but no seat allowance, usage quota, or other plan limits are provided. Organizations comparing total cost or planning a deployment should request a quote that accounts for headcount and required services. The custom bundle is the relevant route for companies seeking the platform’s enterprise offering; it is not a transparent per-seat price for straightforward budget comparisons.

Platforms

Degreed supports Android, iOS, and web, alongside an API and browser extension. Mobile apps give learners access beyond a desktop, while the API and extension serve organizations connecting learning to their systems and capturing resources across the browser. The platform also supports multi-source content, multiple content formats, personalized paths, AI recommendations, and xAPI.

Who it's for

Degreed is aimed at enterprise organizations managing onboarding, upskilling, reskilling, and workforce development. It is especially suited to teams that need structured learning programs, skills-gap insight, and connections to existing workplace tools. Smaller teams or individual learners looking primarily for a published price or a simple course subscription may be better served elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Skills+ links learning to normalized workforce skills, gap mapping, reporting, and inference, which suits organizations planning development against workforce needs.
• Pros: Academies supports cohorts, prerequisites, feedback, peer discussion, and live or asynchronous learning, giving program owners more structure than a resource feed alone.
• Pros: 800+ integrations, an API, and a resource-capturing browser extension help fit learning into existing tools and systems.
• Cons: The enterprise bundle uses custom pricing based on company and headcount, so buyers cannot compare a standard per-seat price from the outset.

Alternatives

• Rhapsode is worth considering when flexible licensing matters: its custom licensing can be per user, per course, or revenue share, and it supports unlimited users.

Verdict

Choose Degreed if your organization needs learning programs and workforce skills intelligence in one platform, especially when integrations, structured cohorts, and skills-gap reporting matter. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the custom-priced enterprise bundle: buyers who need a transparent, directly comparable price should consider alternatives with published starting prices.
